"Hey..."

"Hmm?"

"When I die, I want to get buried—"

(Points tail)

"—there! The hilltop."

"...W-why say something like that— out of all things?"

"I'm serious! Everything about this place looks so peaceful. You can see how softly the breeze flows along the grass. From the hilltop, I might just be able to touch the sky!"

"Why talk about dying? You're perfectly fine. D-don't be a downer, please. We'll live a long life. Together!"

"I'm not planning to die soon, idiot! But—you know— life can be unpredictable. So, when it does happen someday, you'll know where to put me to rest."

"Sigh— couldn't you have picked a happier topic than, well, death?! I thought picnics were supposed to be about togetherness, not separation? You're depressing... really—more than me before I met you. "

"My bad, my bad. I suppose you're thinking about building a house there? We can do that."

"Err-uhh, yeah! That's a much better idea!"

"Well, honestly, burying me—as an idea—matters more than building a house here."

"Why?"

"—because it's ME!"

"Oh- umm-"

"Besides, because I feel like it'll be quiet enough to hear the ones I love."

"...Do you think the dead hear us, like, whenever we cry our hearts out?"

"Of course! As long as you speak from the heart! Oh, and if you speak somewhere meaningful too!"

"Umm— do you think this hill is meaningful to you?"

"I mean, we come here together, right? The thing is, with you being here, its already such a meaningful place to me..."

"Then... fine. But it better be in like... fifty to sixty years! Or-or I'll-"

"100 years. Deal?

"D-deal!"

"Anyways, when you die, I want you to lay beside me!"

"You... assume that I will go after you?"

"Come on, you know I'm slightly more fragile than you. "

"But you're the strongest person I know!"

"Then hopefully you still see me as that, even when I'm gone."

"...I-I will."

"Hey, if I do die first, don't just stay home and bawl your eyes out. Come to me, everyday! Make it a routine if you want. I'm willing to hear everything."

"Mint..."

"Get close to me too. I'll get lonely otherwise."

"Ghh... fine. But, that's a long, long time from now."

"I know."
