"Actually, what I like most are those classical costumes, but those things are really...too heavy. The equipment alone weighs 40 pounds."

What Lisa is talking about is not the clothes, but the girdles and other equipment. In the 19th century, and even in the middle of the 20th century, the upper class in Europe and America wore clothes like meteors. Different from the clothes on Catherine, those clothes were extremely terrifying.

of.

40 pounds is almost equivalent to 18 kilograms.

Some girls are even required to wear masks, gloves, chastity belts, etc.

However, now is the peak of the feminist movement, and various ideological trends have been liberated, so there are fewer advocates now. But corseting is still a popular trend - and it seems to have always been popular.

"The most important thing is that those clothes cover the body completely. Wouldn't it look good if some of such good skin is exposed?"

Ada interjected.

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

Catherine changed the topic at the right time.

"By the way, the premiere will be in two weeks...ah, why do I think this summer vacation will be very long?" Lily cheered up.

The United States has a holiday in June, but the club activities have not ended yet. In fact, Catherine came to school because of the gymnastics club... They are going to perform. And Lily and the others came to school because of problems in their respective clubs. Especially the photography club.

, those girls are extremely excited now. They come from different places, but for this premiere, they don’t even want to go back, but want to stay until the 30th to wait for the premiere in New York.

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

After all, student films rarely get screened in movie theaters.

"Maybe."

Catherine shrugged.

"Let's go to the photography club together tomorrow. Ever since they filmed "The Blair Witch Project", they have always wanted to make another movie, and they have already made one. But... haha, it can only be screened internally."

Obviously, the quality is not good.

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

Especially the part where Catherine talks to the camera, it can be said that the terrifying atmosphere is heightened to the extreme.

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

"Uh..." Ada was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't. I have to go to the hospital with my father for a follow-up visit."

"so sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Ada smiled. But Catherine noticed that things didn't seem that simple. Ada seemed to be hiding something.

After everyone dispersed, Catherine found her.

"Ada, what happened?"

"Dr. Bittman said that my father's depression seems to be developing into schizophrenia and mania. I...I think I should let my father go to the hospital for a check-up."

If it is simply depression, it will develop in a positive direction after taking antidepressant drugs and spiritual guidance. However, if it really develops into schizophrenia or mania, it may be dangerous.

After all, the US presidents who were shot in history were all killed by mental patients. (You know)

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

Catherine continued to ask.

Ada did not refuse, and then explained the matter.

"My father was a veteran of World War II, but in 1946, my mother suffered from dystocia... so... at that time, my father was still staying in Germany. When he came back and got the news, he fell ill.

Depression."

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

"Ada, can I come to your house?"

Ada was stunned for a moment, then looked at the friendly Catherine, and finally hesitated and nodded.

Catherine gave Ada a gentle hug.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Girls Guide: The biggest convenience for girls is that when they have physical contact, a girl will not be rejected by another girl. And it is very likely that there will be backlash.

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

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

In fact, the only one Catherine recognized was the president, Bonnie, who really looked like she had studied gymnastics.

And compared to ballet, Catherine also thinks that gymnastics is better. After all, although ballet is beautiful, it does a lot of damage to the body. Catherine will take good care of herself after every practice. It is for this reason.

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

After all, that is her wish.

On the 20th, the photography club began to hold the last screening of this school year, and Catherine accompanied Ada to her home.

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

In the United States, most people who live in high-rise buildings are below the middle class. And families like Catherine's mostly live in single-family houses.

Catherine did not expect that Ada actually lived in such a place.

Opening the door, Ada took Catherine into the house.

The room was very tidy, but there weren't actually many things. There was a revolver rifle from the American Civil War in the 19th century hanging on one side of the wall. There was also a leather case next to it, and there were some things in it, which seemed to be bullets.

.

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

"My ancestors participated in the Civil War just like my father participated in World War II."

Ada answered briefly.

"Want something to drink?"

"No, thanks."

At this moment, a middle-aged man opened the door from the back room and walked out.

"Ada, are you back?"

The man is about 180 centimeters tall, has some wrinkles on his face, and looks calm. He does not look like a mentally ill person at all.

"Yes, Dad. This is my classmate, Catherine Edson. Kate, and this is my father, Mars Rossiter."

"Hello, sir. Just call me Kate."

Catherine smiled kindly at the other party.
