I'd love to. A long time ago, I was building sand castles, and I told Satsuki-chan I'd build her one, too. [ More like, she said she wanted a sand castle, and every little boy in the vicinity rushed to make her one. ]
She said she would turn her sand into concrete and make it into skyscraper because a building that blows away in a gust of wind is worthless. I said, "But all buildings fall down eventually!" Do you know what she said to that?
[ She pitches her voice higher for her five year old self and lower for Satsuki. ]
"Then you should build one in your mind. A skyscraper built int your mind will never fall down."
[ She folds her hands in front of her heart. ]
That's why, if the paper city you're building is also being built inside your heart, it won't ever fall apart.

Build the city...inside my heart.
[He sounds like he's completely entranced, the words sinking in deeper and deeper.]
I can see why you like her so much. That's an amazing way to think.

I love her. Just remember that a city inside your heart can never fall, as long as your heart is strong.
