Dom Interesting, you'll drop school to muscle in on our family trip but not go somewhere with me?

[calvin keller]

Cal I was fully ready to rescue your cousin and head down the Italian coast, you're the one who was double booking.

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dom You do love a damsel in distress, don't you? Only Kendra didn't ask to be rescued and I didn't offer it. I rushed home to plan for the ceremony and trip.

[calvin keller]

Cal Can we just not have a chess match conversation and plan on going to Japan? I know you'll want to buy a katana.

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dom I really don't like what college does to you, Calvin. It's unhealthy. I want several. And I want to eat fugu and meditate in front of the Genbaku Dome.

[calvin keller]

Cal Sorry mom. You're very into extremes lately. Are you having a death wish phase?

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dom Can I convince you to dress up like a geisha for me? What's wrong with trusting a highly trained chef with my life or wanting to hear the voices of people who have been vaporized? I'm immersing myself, Cal.

[calvin keller]

Cal I'll just drop you in Harajuku, we can pick you back up when your hair's cotton candy pink. You should write tour guides, you'd make a killing on the dark web.

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dom I am not Gwen Stefani. Tell me about college, I miss it sometimes.

[calvin keller]

Cal What, not trying to claim that you're part Japanese? What would you miss about it? Classmate competition? Outwitting fellow scholars? The weird, clandestine vibes of college parties?

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dom Just checking your cultural sensitivity is all. Very problematic if you had said yes, though your natural pallor would lend itself. You're not regaling me with stories, are you really that miserable there?

[calvin keller]

Cal I think there'd be other conversations to be had if I said yes. I'm not miserable it's just uneventful, comparatively. I went to class yesterday, have to write a paper on color theory across three films of my choosing, trying to figure out which bar to go to tomorrow, Celeste's trying to talk me to driving down the coast this weekend. It's simple.

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dom Oh? Pleaseeee humor me, just pretend. That sounds like a boring Netflix series. And how many times a day do you think 'this is pointless and I should be with Dom'?

[calvin keller]

Cal Nah, not your birthday yet. Out of sight, out of mind!

[dominic vinten cuvo]

Dom It will be my eighth year asking for the same thing, we'll see if anyone even cares about me. Have you missed me?
