I'm in a school with a dormitory and my year is finishing the school year and our chapter at that school. Me and Irma are gathering our things from the house/dormitory. There's another friend of ours who's staying here for another year. I ask Irma if she's going to leave some of her things here, like pajamas, with the thought that we could visit from time to time, but she says no. Inspired by her decision, I start gathering the rest of my things in a bag. I want to pick up my hairs that have fallen on the floor but they didn't leave us a vacuum cleaner so I do it with a piece of paper.

Then I go out to the street and I'm waiting for the bus. There are some people already at the stop but they're sitting here and there, some on the ground. There are two girls and a guy and I almost cut in front of the guy but then I see he's also in line. Then someone exclaims that there's a guy sitting on the edge of a window! I look up but I don't see anything and then I see a tiny dot in the sky. That dot starts coming down and I see that someone has jumped from very high. I wonder if they're going to splatter on the ground. But when the dot gets bigger I see it's four young people who are sitting in a row side by side, like those rides at amusement parks where people sit side by side and then the seats fall and jump vertically. I'm curious to see if they're going to hit the ground but when they're almost at the ground level they slow down and change direction. A girl gets up and all four of them are floating. I see the girl touch a roof and her leg go through the roof and that's when I realize they're traveling only in their etheric bodies.

Then I go back to the apartment and I see a popular and rich girl making a video showing her lipstick. The place we're in is on the outskirts and I wonder if she's so rich why does she live in such a non-central area. She has a chubby face and voluptuous lips. She has one of those wardrobes with a compartment for each outfit. She's demonstrating a pink outfit and the lipstick is a pretty light pink shade. Since she's demonstrating it publicly I feel like I can go try it for myself and when she leaves I try her lipstick. I really like the color and I look at myself in the mirror satisfied. Then I look at the rest of the drawer for that outfit and it has a pink mini dress that I decide to put on. I go out like this and my friends approve. But no one knows it's not mine. Then I start feeling self-conscious and I don't want the girl to come back and find me in her dress, so I take advantage of no one being in the apartment and I change clothes quickly. When I try to fold the dress something makes it change color to black. In a panic I unfold the dress and find a zipper that changes the color. I pull the zipper back to pink and fold the dress and put it back in the drawer. I notice a Hello Kitty pajama that's also in the drawer and is weirdly folded. I don't want the girl to notice someone went through the drawer so I refold it. I know it's not perfect and I wonder if she'll blame the maid.

I don't know when this happens but a friend makes a series of drawings of us in AI with a style I really like. I think the friend is still Irma. The drawings are of the two of us and capture our essence very well. The background of the drawings has a watercolor paper texture in light yellow and the drawings themselves have a simple line style, with black outlines. Our faces have very large eyes that look like glass, or diamond. They're clear and white like jewels. The drawings are of the two of us interacting. We're in profile and I'm impressed they capture our essence so well despite being so simple. But the animation is just a static zoom-in of the images, and I think to myself that her video skills aren't great, that Nina can make much better videos. But I still think the style is spectacular.

I'm going to meet Mari, her husband and Rosie, and a few other people to celebrate. It's to celebrate something of theirs. I'm playing with Rosie and she says I'm not an adult. I think she probably thinks that because I'm not boring like most adults, but a part of me wonders if it's because I act more like a child and do things like sit on the floor. At some point I start leaving but Mari calls me and says they're still going to exchange rings and for me to be present.

I don't know what happens in between but I separate from them and go to their house for the ring exchange. I arrive at the building which is the aunt and uncle’s building, but I don't remember which floor. I start going up the stairs and counting the floors on the fingers of a glove. I have the idea it's the second to last floor. Then a man with an Arabic appearance appears and asks to pass and I have to go through a very tight space to let him pass. He thanks me. I keep walking and I find more men and boys with the same Arabic appearance. One of them comes to me and invites me to join their party. I say I'm going to a friend's house but I don't remember the floor and he offers me his phone to make the call. I say it's not necessary, that I have mine, and I start feeling uncomfortable with his insistence, but he says there's no need for me to pay for the call, that I can use his phone. I want to tell him I don't pay for calls either but he's not listening. I see my AirPods case that I had left on the stairs of the apartment and I grab it instinctively when I see all these people arriving. Someone comments that they work for the government. I have the sense they speak French. Meanwhile I open the AirPods case and see they're not the same as the ones I left there. I'd be surprised if no one touched them when I left them in a public space for so long.

I start looking at my contact list to try to find a number of someone I can call but I deleted Aunt R's number and Aunt Z's number is disconnected and I think why did I burn all my bridges. I remember I have Quim's number but I don't know if it makes sense to use it. Meanwhile the men keep insisting I join their party but then I see Mari arriving with the rest of the family and I signal to them and go with them. Inside I had prepared a surprise for Rosie.

I'm still in the aunt and uncle’s building and Aunt R says the Arab men who belong to a political faction invited them to a party and they have to pay €74. Uncle lent me €10 and told me to pay them back and Aunt asks if I want to go to the party and bring the €74. I say no, that I don't want anything to do with those men, that they have a strange vibe. Aunt says they have to go to maintain good relations and I say I don't understand why they'd go to an event they don't want to go to and still have to pay for it. She explains it's to keep good neighborly relations. I see her point and I wonder if I'm being too extreme but the truth is I don't want to associate with those people. Aunt says it's a bit complicated for her to go withdraw the money now and I say I can go. I tell myself that Aunt always pays me back so even though I don't feel like getting involved in this story, at least I'll get my money back. But then she talks to Uncle on the phone and they decide it's not necessary. I'm relieved.

I stay to look after their little dog. We're in a high place, me and the dog, which is supposed to be their house but it's a somewhat precarious structure. The dog asks me to tell him a story and I go get the book but he's too close to the edge and almost falls and I ask him not to get close to the edge because I'm afraid he'll fall. He agrees with me. I think to myself how much I love having the dog's company and that he's so sweet and reasonable. Then I accidentally make part of the structure fall, it's a tall building but the size of a dollhouse. It's supposed to be my aunt and uncle's building and it all collapses. I try to put it back together but I know there's not much to do. The dog is small, like a dachshund, and very sensible.
