After Rose returned to her rented room, she plopped herself onto the bed, sighing once in a while.
Josephine was putting on a beauty mask and felt confused when she heard those repeated sighs.
"What's the matter?" Josephine asked.
Rose depressingly said, "Today, I met someone who said I was ugly."
Immediately, Josephine peeled off the beauty mask and bellowed, "Who said so? Let me tear up her mouth."
"A young girl."
"How rude!" Josephine spat.
"Children’s words mean no harm.’
Josephine looked at Rose who was depressed and comforted. "Since you know that children's words mean no harm, then why are you still sulking?"
Sitting up, she gloomily said, "Josephine, I think I saw your big brother today."
Josephine’s mouth was agape in shock. "Maybe it was a coincidence?"
"Twice in a day?" Rose lifted two fingers.
"Did my brother recognize you?" Josephine had a bad
feeling about this when she saw how dispirited Rose looked.
Rose cried out, "Josephine, he didn’t recognize me."
Josephine,
She took a packet of tissues and handed it to Rose. " Cry your heart out. There are plenty of tissues."
Once Rose was done crying, Josephine was done playing a round of a game that had similar gameplay t o Wild Rift.
She turned her head around to look at Rose. "It’s normal for my brother to not recognize you. Look at you, you're wearing a huge mask and have huge spectacles on. You could almost wrap yourself up into a present. It'd be weird if he could recognize you."
Rose was quick to see the silver lining. "This is good. I can go out as I please in the future."
Josephine was in awe of Rose's will that was as strong as an unbeatable cockroach. "It’s hard to not like your optimistic personality."
Rose looked at the game on the computer screen and curiously asked, "Why are you addicted to this game?"
"I'm planning to earn some money by playing video games,” Josephine replied.
