Jill raised her eyebrows at my words. Apparently, she did not understand what I was saying.

She's still a child after all. ....... Well, I'm still a kid. This is just my judgment. I should go to Laval alone. It's a lot more dangerous for two people to be acting suspiciously together than it is for one person to be acting suspiciously alone.

I can't tell her that I'm thinking of ...... deporting myself. Jill is a perceptive girl, she's going to figure out what I'm thinking. I have to do something before that happens. .......

It's been a long time since I've seen a little Jill. Lately, she's been getting cocky and not so cute anymore. Now Jill is like a little boy, just like her age.

We're always going up. We'll see each other again someday, even if we're apart. Besides, it's not like we're bereaved. I'm just going on a little trip. Well, there's no guarantee that I'll be deported and never come back. .......
