-- And all the best to you. How are things? A lot has happened, but what about my affairs? I left and came back, we've been fighting a little... How are yours? I guess... Did you have to put the photos on hold because of everything that happened? -- her tone indicated that she was clearly interested not because she wanted to take photos, but rather to keep the conversation going. It's not certain that anything will help maintain the conversation, given their moderately low level of trust. But leaving it like this is also a bit sad.

- No, no, everything is fine. I said "I had some things to do," but it was actually an impromptu, spontaneous mini-vacation. I suddenly thought about you and realized that it wouldn't hurt me either, haha... You know, I would recommend the place I went to - there are very good hot springs there that have a positive effect on well-being and health, and the prices are very reasonable - but perhaps now is not the best time for that, there are some tensions on the political side, so it's better to do it sometime later, or go somewhere else. I'm glad that everything has returned to normal for you, maybe my gift won't be needed, hehe. I looked at how Solitaria-chan is doing - you know, she's doing quite well. For children, it's always a good life experience that has a positive effect on discipline and understanding of the upcoming adult life. Is she your eldest? I think you said you already have two teenagers.
