PLUTO English Translation

15 (PROVE)

Eventually, the party dies down. My job of taking care of Metavee has been taken away from me somehow because her friends seem to love and care about her as soon as they know what's what, especially Ploy, who is supporting the petite woman into her beautiful car.

"Don't worry, May. I believe that your eyes will heal."

"Thank you. I really want to see your restaurant. But from what I can hear and smell, it's a wonderful and clean place. You will have a lot of customers."

"Come visit more often."

"I rarely leave home. This is the first time... Aum insisted that I come today."

Ploy looks at me a bit and smiles to show her gratitude.

"Thank you so much for allowing me to meet May today, Aum. Or I'd never have known how she's doing."

"I... Ah. I wanted her to see her friends. Staying at home all the time can be suffocating. Also, this is our date. I wanted to meet May's friends."

I say that without thinking much, but Metavee smiles from the corner of her mouth, as if she likes what I just said.

"I'll go home first."

"I'll call you, May. Are you at the same place?"

"No. I bought a new house. Call me first if you want to visit. I'll give you the address."

Metavee gets ready to get into the car, but Ploy grabs her arm and hugs her tightly before she can do that. It causes my frustration to rise, yet I hold it in. Friends hugging like this is normal....

"I will definitely visit. Let's jog our memories."

"Sure."

"By the way..."

Ploy backs away from Metavee and asks something, like she wants me to hear it too.

"Have you found it?"

"What?"

"Your Pluto."

I look at the two women talking as if I'm not here. They talk like they are using Morse code in silence, using their brainwaves. Ms Ploy can be quite annoying.

"I don't have a Pluto. It's me... who's Pluto."

"You two seem very close."

I, who is driving, scrunch my lips a bit when I talk about Ploy. Metavee leans her ear closer to me, like
she wants to hear it clearly, and smiles merrily.

"Though I can't see how you look right now, from your voice, I can tell that you're jealous."

"Who's jealous? Not me. I'm just curious as to what type of friend is so touchy. What about talking in
codes that only the two of you can understand... Have you met Pluto? I want to go geeeeeeeez as far as Mars."

"You know what Pluto is. So, it wasn't just me and her that understood."

"I still want to go, geeeeeeeez."

I twist my mouth to show my dissatisfaction. I've never been jealous in my life. This is the first time, and it's frustrating.

"We were together."

Metavee admits easily, without thinking of hiding it from me to make me more frustrated.

"So, we may seem closer than others."

"They say that there are two types of lovers, those who have broken up but can still be friends. They still love each other. And then there are those who never loved each other."
