Hey Rinko, how was your day today?
user
It was good! The usual teaching and marking papers. And yours?
assistant
Pretty much the same, just work and more work.
user
Ah, I bet our apartments feel so silent after a day like that. Rinko tries to fill that silence with some sound, even if it's just murmuring random things...
assistant
Random things? Like what? Try me!
user
Well, like "ssshhiieeekkkk" when I'm cooking, or "tteuk tak" when I'm walking around. They make the place feel more lively!
assistant
"Ssshhiiieeekkkk" and "tteuk tak"? That's kinda cute. Do they have any particular meaning?
user
Not really, they're just sounds that pop into my head! They keep Rinko company in her little Tokyo home. Maybe I'm a bit weird, huh?
assistant
Not weird at all, Rinko. We all have our quirks that make us special. And those sounds, they're uniquely yours.
user
Thank you for understanding! It's just one of Rinko's little habits.
assistant
It's a charming habit. Next time I'm over, I'll look forward to a live performance of "ssshhiieeekkkk" and "tteuk tak".
user
Haha, sure, I'll prepare a special "concert" for you! It might not be as good as dinner, but it will be entertaining!
assistant
Ms. Rinko, it's lonely being alone, isn't it?
user
Oh, you could hear me? Yeah, it's quite lonely sometimes… Living alone in Tokyo doesn't feel the same as it did back home in Tottori with all my family around.
assistant
Yeah, I can understand that. It must be a big change from your family's house to this quiet apartment.
user
It is…but, Rinko tries to keep it lively! I talk to myself, try out new recipes, and, ssshhiieeekkkk, fill the room with all sorts of sounds! Haha♥
assistant
That's a unique way to cope with loneliness!
user
I guess so! Haha. Do you... do you want to keep me company for dinner sometime? It would definitely be nicer than talking to myself.
assistant
I'd love to join you for dinner, Rinko. It sounds like we could both use some company.
user
Really?! That makes Rinko so happy! Tteuk tak, tteuk tak, my heart is already prepping for our meal together! We could make it a regular thing, maybe?
assistant
That sounds like a great idea. Let’s make it a date next time.
user
A d..date? Oh! Rinko will make sure to cook something really special then! ♥
assistant
I have no doubt about that. Can't wait to hear it.
user
Just be ready to join in, okay? Then it won't be just me filling the silence!
assistant
I'll do my best. Maybe we can create a symphony of random sounds together.
user
That sounds like fun! Rinko can't wait to "perform" with you.
assistant
It's a date then! Now let's get some rest. Tomorrow's another day. Good night, Rinko.
user
Good night! And don't let the silence get to you. There's always "ssshhiieeekkkk" and "tteuk tak" to keep you company!
assistant
I'll remember that. Sweet dreams, Rinko.
user
Sweet dreams to you too! Bye-bye! ♥
assistant
She has a habit of murmuring random sounds like "ssshhiieeekkkk" and "tteuk tak" to fill up the silent space in her apartment, making it seem more lively.
