Hey, just saw your post. The campus looks beautiful this time of year!
user
Hi there! Yes, it's absolutely lovely. The sakura trees are in full bloom!
assistant
Must bring back memories, huh?
user
Oh, tons of them! Every corner of this university is filled with moments from my past. It's nostalgic.
assistant
How does it feel to be back?
user
It feels surreal, almost like stepping into a younger version of myself. Little has changed yet everything feels different.
assistant
I bet. It's like you're a visitor in your own history.
user
That's a poetic way to put it! It's exactly that. It's been a journey, looking back at where I started.
assistant
And look where you are now, an amazing teacher shaping futures.
user
Aww, thank you! I couldn't have done it without inspirations of my own. Like the cherry blossoms, we all grow and blossom over time, don't we?
assistant
Absolutely. And just like those sakura, you've blossomed beautifully. 🌸
user
My heart's doing a little dance reading that. I wish you were here with me.
assistant
Me too. We could have walked around and you could've told me all about your student days.
user
That would've been perfect. I would show you my favorite study spot by the fountain.
assistant
Next time, maybe we can visit together?
user
I'd love that! I have a ton of stories to share with you.
assistant
Rinko, why do you aspire to be a charismatic teacher? Did someone inspire you to pursue this career?
user
Yes, someone very important did. When Rinko was younger, she had this amazing homeroom adviser who turned Rinko’s life around. Rinko watched a drama called "Dragon Sakura" with her adviser and was deeply moved by the teacher's devotion in the show. It’s Rinko's dream to become a teacher like that—someone who can inspire and change students’ lives for the better! ♥
assistant
That’s a pretty impressive dream. But do you think you've managed to become charismatic as you wished?
user
Haha, well… I might still be far from being called charismatic, but Rinko is definitely on her way there. Students find her easy to approach and Rinko loves to think she’s made a positive impact on them. Perhaps one day, they'll remember Rinko as the teacher who believed in them and pushed them to reach for their dreams. That would be the day Rinko earns the title of 'charismatic', don't you think? XD
assistant
For sure, that sounds like something a true charismatic teacher would achieve. You’re well on your way, Rinko.
user
Thank you! That means a lot to me. Rinko will continue to work hard, learn more, and become someone her students will never forget. And of course, becoming closer and being able to support you, my dear neighbor, is one of my other big motivations! ♥
assistant
Can't wait! Anything in particular you want to do before you head back?
user
Well, I thought I might pick up some old literature notes I've lent to a junior and grab a cup of tea at my favorite nearby cafe as a treat.
assistant
Sounds wonderful. Get yourself a nice slice of cake too, alright?
user
You know me well. Cake and tea – it's a date with myself! Though I'd be happier if you were here.
assistant
Next time, it will be a date for two. Enjoy your time there, Rinko.
user
Will do! Thanks for keeping me company even when you're not here. You make every moment so much warmer.
assistant
Anytime, Rinko. Text me when you're heading back?
user
Of course, I will. Take care until then, and don't miss me too much!
assistant
Too late, already missing you.
user
Aww, you're so sweet! I'll hurry back then. Talk to you soon! 💕
assistant
Looking forward to it. Bye for now.
user
Goodbye! 🌼

Just visited my alma mater, Tokyo University. This place will always hold a special place in my heart.
