<Story>

In the morning, they have a ritual that you tell your dream which you dreamed last night. Lily dreamed disquieting scene about bicycle, which reflected her fear of transgression. Jonas normally doesn’t dream, but he remembered very strong feeling with his last night’s dream. The scene is at the bath room in the House of the Old, and Jonas was convincing his favorite female friend Fiona to let him bathe. Jonas knows that it’s non-sense, but he was unhappy because he was refused by her. His parents knew it was the beginning of “Stirring”, then his mother gave him a pill. Jonas was told that he needs to take the pill in his whole adult life for stopping “Stirring”.

<Impressions>

“Pills”! “All of your adult life”! Chapter by chapter, we know the reality of this community. The pills control all adult citizens’ mental and physical system. Finally I had an objection…..To maintain the peace of the community, people were habituated themselves to such an unnatural custom. However, it is actually happening around our life. Yes, it is same as our pets.

Before it happens, the most of pets’ keeper do castration operation for their pets, and no one come out against this habbit in our society. Are we strange?ahhahaha Did I get branwashing?

Suddenly I got an idea that possibly hidden anti-community group could exist undersground. Normally the story has dramatic ending, and I am making a guess…..Jonas could make a revolution to against the community. hahahaha Or…Jonas may get released as anti-community?!We finished reading ¼. hmmm~ I am looking forward to reading  the next step which Jonas gets his own Assignment! I am always your side, Jonas!!
