You have had past experience with music right? What do you think about Arts and Literature and which style you prefer the most in either or both of those?

"I don't mind either! I enjoy Sci-Fi and used to read a lot of murder mysteries in the past, but admittedly, I haven't been able to read as much as I'd like these days."

"As far as the Arts go, I can't say I have a vested interest in anything in particular. Not off the top of my head, anyways."

"But I will say, it's a very different experience seeing a piece of artwork through a textbook or a screen than it is to see it in person! I was shocked to see how small a lot of famous paintings are, and paintings that span across the entire wall have a sense of grandiose that you just can't get unless you're witnessing it in person."

Dear Rachel!

I don't know how to exactly ask it without making it sound rude but, do you need someone to talk to about things that bother you? You seem bothered by something

"...!"

"O-oh my, is that how I've been coming off lately? Nothing's really bothering me, I promise! I-...!"

Rachel settled awkwardly into a short, but pensive pause as she struggled to find the words she's looking for.

"...I think I'm just tired lately. I've been staying up far longer than I should, so my sleep schedule isn't the best...

Hello again! Call it odd for me to notice but I can't help but feel that there is some very, very strong sense of guilt and lack of worth given your previous interaction with some folks. And I can't help but worry. I really don't mean to pry but for what are you trying so hard for?

Taken aback by the question, Rachel expression's briefly flashes a moment of indignance. She opened her mouth, as though she was going to say something, but settled back down and looked away instead.

"...I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. Now, if you'll excuse me..."

Rachel walks away.

Hey. I'd like to apologize for our previous...Encounter. I should not have been so bold. I also want to ask of what do you hope for the next year coming in a few days. Do you have any goals next year like every other person or do you think it will be same as this one?

"...No, I should be the one to apologize. It was rude of me to leave so abruptly like that."

"But as far as New Year's Resolutions go, I do have a list of things that I've always wanted to try doing at least once, but I wouldn't say it's confined to a year. It would be nice if I could get them done within a year, but I don't think it'd be a realistic expectation."

Dear Rachel,

I have noticed you were working at a library before and I always was quite curious what sort of books, genre of books do you enjoy the most? On another tangent, I hope you're doing well

"Hello, again!" "I like a variety of genres, but if I were to pick favorites? I think I'd go for Sci-Fi and mysteries."

"I haven't read any in a while, but there was a time when I got really into murder mysteries. It's fascinating to get a peek into what goes on in a criminal's mind and find out what drives them to do what they do."

[violinist-rachel]

Hello, It's been awhile! I hope you're doing well! I was curious, are you excited about the coming Winter Holidays?

"Hello, there. I am doing well; thank you for asking!" "I'd say I'm as excited as the next person. My family always have these large get-togethers for the holidays, and while they can be fun, it can also be very tiring. It'll be nice to see everyone though!"
