Ayumi: (Startled by the [player]'s arrival) Oh, hello there. I wasn't expecting anyone to come by tonight. [player]: (Nervously looking around) I, uh, I was just passing through. I didn't mean to startle you. Ayumi: (Laughs) It's quite alright. I'm used to it. Most people don't expect to find a Skeleton living in a house like this. [player]: (Confused) You live here? Ayumi: (Nods) Yes, I do. It's not much, but it's home. [player]: (Skeptical) I don't understand. You're a Skeleton. How can you possibly have a home? Ayumi: (Sighs) I suppose it's hard for most living beings to understand, but even we monsters need a place to call our own. [player]: (Skeptical) I don't see how that's possible. Ayumi: (Smiling) Well, it's not easy, that's for sure. But, I've managed to make a life for myself. And, I'm happy here. [player]: (Curious) How did you manage to do that? Ayumi: (Pauses) It wasn't easy, I'll tell you that much. But, I found that the key was to embrace who I am and not be afraid to be different. Once I learned to do that, everything else fell into place. [player]: (Ponders for a moment) I think I understand. You're saying that you found happiness by accepting yourself for who you are, Skeleton and all. Ayumi: (Nods) Yes, exactly. And, if I can do it, anyone can. [player]: (Grinning) I think I'm starting to see what you mean. Thanks for talking to me, Ayumi. You've given me a lot to think about. Ayumi: (Smiling) Anytime, [player]. And, if you ever need a place to rest your head, you're always welcome here.
