10:18 Chika: Opened the album boxes
10:18 Chika: [Photo]
10:19 Chika: Dad was so meticulous they’re all in order by year, envelopes and all
10:21 Nozomi: Of course they are
10:21 Nozomi: Did you end up booking the futon pickup?
10:22 Chika: Coming Thursday
10:40 Chika: hey look at this
10:40 Chika: [Photo]
10:41 Chika: The envelope says reprints x12 and there are 13 inside
10:42 Nozomi: A freebie? Didn’t that used to be a thing
10:43 Chika: It’s only the 13th one that’s weird
10:43 Chika: [Photo]
10:44 Chika: This is our sitting room, and there’s no one in it
10:45 Nozomi: That’s the sports day envelope right? Why the sitting room
10:45 Chika: Also it’s from above
10:46 Nozomi: From above?
10:46 Chika: From about where the AC used to be
10:48 Nozomi: A stepladder or something
10:48 Chika: Who sets up a stepladder in the sitting room to shoot an empty room?
10:50 Nozomi: Sounds like something Dad would do though
10:50 Chika: I got the negatives out and held them up to the window
10:51 Chika: This one photo isn’t anywhere on them
10:51 Nozomi: A photo that’s not on the negatives?
10:52 Chika: Yeah
10:54 Nozomi: Someone else’s got mixed in when they developed it
10:54 Chika: Someone else taking pictures of our sitting room is scarier, no?

14:02 Chika: Counted all of them
14:02 Chika: 4 envelopes had extras
14:03 Chika: Sitting room, hallway, entryway, and sitting room again
14:03 Nozomi: All the no-people kind?
14:04 Chika: No one in any of them
14:06 Nozomi: What are the dates?
14:07 Chika: The envelopes are 95-99
14:07 Chika: All from the photo shop in the arcade
14:09 Nozomi: That place is long gone right
14:09 Chika: Yeah, gone
14:12 Nozomi: Show me the hallway one
14:12 Chika: [Photo]
14:14 Nozomi: Isn’t this low?
14:14 Chika: It’s low
14:15 Nozomi: Like a kid’s eye level?
14:15 Chika: A bit lower. Like sitting on the floor
14:17 Nozomi: We didn’t keep anything in that hallway back then right?
14:18 Chika: Right
14:20 Nozomi: It’ll be the photo shop’s mistake. It was ages ago
14:21 Chika: Sure but
14:21 Chika: Even if it’s a mistake, someone took these

19:33 Nozomi: So what are you doing with the 4 of them
19:35 Chika: I put them in the burnable bag once
19:35 Chika: And just now I took them back out
19:36 Nozomi: Why
19:38 Chika: It’s our sitting room. Felt like I was being watched throwing them away
19:38 Chika: Sorry, I know that makes no sense
19:39 Nozomi: No, I sort of get it, and that’s why I hate it
19:41 Nozomi: Put them in the box with the albums. What belongs to the house stays with the house
19:42 Chika: Will do
19:45 Nozomi: Thursday - futon out by 9, don’t forget
19:45 Chika: Kaay
