"Actually, my favorite thing is the classic costumes, but those things are a little ...... It's too heavy. The equipment alone weighs 40 pounds. ”

Lisa wasn't talking about clothes, but about girdles and other equipment. In the 19th century and even the middle of the 20th century, the upper echelons of Europe and the United States wore such costumes. Unlike Catherine, those costumes were terrifying.

40 pounds, which is almost 18 kilograms.

Some girls are even required to wear masks, single gloves, chastity belts, and so on.

It's just that now it is at the peak of the feminist movement, and all kinds of ideas have been liberated, so there are fewer advocates now. But corset is still a popular trend – and it seems to be here to stay.

"The most important thing is that the clothes wrap the body completely. Isn't it also beautiful to have such good skin, revealing some of it? ”

Ida interjected.

"Maybe I think we should talk about the premiere."

Catherine diverted the conversation at the right time.

"By the way, the premiere is still two weeks away...... Ah, why do I think this summer vacation will be long? "Lily is coming to the spirits.

The United States has a holiday in June, but the club activities are not over yet, and Catherine came to school, in fact, for the gymnastics club...... They're going to perform. And Lily and the others came to school because of the problems of their respective clubs. Especially in the photo club, the girls are already very excited. They come from different places, but for the sake of this premiere, they don't even want to go back, but want to stay until the 30th and wait for the premiere in New York.

Although the transportation in the United States is very convenient, it shows the enthusiasm of the students of the photography club for this movie in another way.

After all, few student films are able to be shown in movie theaters.

"Maybe."

Catherine shrugged.

"Let's go to the photo studio tomorrow. Ever since they made "Blair the Witch," they've wanted to make another movie, and they've already made it. But...... Hehe, it can only be an internal screening. ”

Obviously, it's the quality that doesn't work.

After all, Catherine and Ida were the protagonists in the last movie.

Especially in the part where Catherine narrates herself to the camera, it can be said that the atmosphere of horror is strengthened to the extreme.

To be honest, Catherine never thought that she would be able to have such good acting skills. Maybe there is a gap compared with Hollywood's first-line movie stars, but at least on the surface, it doesn't look "contrived" and "deliberate".

"Uh......" Ida was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't, I'm going to the hospital with my dad for a follow-up." ”

"I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." Ida smiled. But Catherine notices that things don't seem to be so simple, and Ida seems to be hiding something.

When everyone had dispersed, Catherine found her.

"Ada, what's wrong?"

"Dr. Bitman said that my father's depression seemed to be trending towards schizophrenia and rage, and I ...... I thought I should have my father go to the hospital. ”

Depression alone can be improved by taking antidepressant drugs and mental guidance, but if it does develop into schizophrenia or rage, it may be dangerous.

After all, the presidents of the United States who have been shot dead in history have all been killed by mentally ill people. (You get the idea)

"Ada, would you mind telling me about your father?"

Catherine continued.

Ada didn't refuse, and then told the story.

"My father was a World War II veteran, but in 1946 my mother had a difficult birth...... So...... At that time, my father was still in Germany. When he came back and got the news, he was suffering from depression. ”

"According to the doctor's judgment, it is very likely that my father had developed a psychological disorder when he was on the battlefield, and then induced depression. It is very likely that this illness was also caused by neglect in previous treatments. ”

"Ada, can I go to your house?"

Ida paused for a moment, then looked at the friendly Catherine, then finally hesitated and nodded.

Catherine gave Ada a gentle hug.

"Don't worry, it'll get better."

Girls' StrategyThe biggest convenience for girls is that girls will not be rejected by another girl when they are in physical contact. And there is a good chance that there will be upside downs. ,

On June 19, 1961, Catherine participated in the school performance, which was a perfect end to her first school year.

To be honest, the training in the gymnastics studio is really not worth mentioning compared to ballet. Especially since this is still non-professional.

In fact, the only thing Catherine agrees with is the president Bonnie, who really looks like she has studied gymnastics.

And compared to ballet, Catherine also thinks that gymnastics is better, after all, although ballet is beautiful, it does not cause much damage to the body. Catherine takes good care of herself after each practice, and that's why she cares for herself.

As she grew older, Catherine felt that ballet seemed to be an obstacle for her, but she was not easy to explain to her mother.

After all, that's her wish.

On the 20th, the photo studio began to hold the last screening of the school year, and Catherine accompanied Ida to her home.

Ida lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and her home is in an apartment in the city.

In the United States, most of the people who live in high-rise buildings are below the middle class. Families like Catherine's, on the other hand, live in single-family houses.

Catherine didn't expect Ida to live in such a place.

Opening the door, Ada led Catherine into the house.

The room was neat, but there wasn't much in the room, and on one side of the wall hung a revolver rifle from the 19th century American Civil War. There was also a holster next to it with something in it, which appeared to be bullets.

It seems that this should be the most valuable thing in the house.

"Like my father fought in World War II, my ancestors fought in the Civil War."

Ida replied briefly.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Thanks, no need."

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the back room through the door.

"Ada, you're back?"

The man is about 180 centimeters tall, with a slight wrinkle on his face, and a calm face, which does not look like a mentally ill person at all.

"Yes, Dad. This is my classmate, Catherine Edson. Kate, this is my father, Mars Rost. ”

"Hello, sir. Just call me Kate. ”

Catherine smiled kindly at the other.
