Blooming America

"Actually, what I like the most is the classical clothes, but those things are a bit...too heavy. Just talking about the equipment, they weigh 40 pounds."

　　What Lisa said was not clothes, but equipment such as waistbands. In the 19th century and even in the middle of the 20th century, the upper classes in Europe and the United States had clothing like meteors. Unlike Catherine's, those costumes are extremely scary.

　　 40 pounds is almost equivalent to 18 kilograms.

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

　　 However, it is now at the peak of the feminist movement, and various ideologies have been liberated, so there are fewer advocates now. But the waistband is still a trend-and it seems to be trending all the time.

　　 "The most important thing is that those clothes wrap the body completely. Isn't it nice to have such a nice skin with a little exposed?"

　　 Ada interjected.

　　 "Maybe I think we should discuss the premiere."

　　 Catherine changed the subject in due course.

　　 "By the way, it will premiere in two weeks...Ah, why do I think this summer vacation will be so long?" Lily came to her spirits.

　　 The United States has a holiday in June, but the club activities have not yet ended. Catherine came to school, in fact, for the gymnastics club... They are going to participate in the performance. Lily and the others came to school because of the problems of their respective clubs. Especially for the photography agency, the girls are very excited now. They come from different places, but for this premiere, they don't even want to go back, but want to stay directly on the 30th and wait for the premiere in New York.

　　Although the transportation in the United States is very convenient, from another aspect, it shows that the students of the photography agency are enthusiastic about this film.

　　 After all, few student films can be shown in cinemas.

"Perhaps."

　　 Catherine shrugged.

　　 "Let’s go to the photography agency tomorrow. Since shooting "Blair the Witch", they have always wanted to make another movie, and it has already been made. But...hehe, it can only be shown internally."

　　 Obviously, the quality is not good.

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

　　 Especially in the section where Catherine told herself to the camera, it can be said that the atmosphere of horror has been enhanced to the extreme.

　　 To be honest, Catherine never thought that she could have such a good acting skill. It may be a little bit behind the first-line Hollywood movie stars, but at least on the surface there is no "contrived" and "deliberate" appearance.

　　 "Uh..." Ada was taken aback 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 follow-up."

"so sorry."

　　 "It's okay." Ada smiled. But Catherine noticed that things didn't seem to be that simple, and Ada seemed to hide something.

　　 After everyone was gone, Catherine found her.

　　 "Ada, what's the matter?"

　　 "Doctor Bitman said that my father's depression seems to have a tendency to develop into schizophrenia and violent disorder. I...I think I should let my father go to the hospital."

　　It is pure depression. After taking antidepressant drugs and mental guidance, it will develop in a positive way, but if it really develops into schizophrenia or violent disorder, it may be a little dangerous.

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

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

　　 Catherine continued to ask.

　　 Ada did not refuse, and then told the matter.

"My father was a veteran of World War II, but in 1946, my mother had a dystocia... So... At that time, my father was still staying in Germany. When he came back, he got the news and he suffered from depression. disease."

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

　　 "Ada, can I go to your house?"

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

　　 Catherine gave Ada a gentle hug.

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

　　The biggest convenience for girls is that girls will not be rejected by another girl when they are in physical contact. And it is very likely that there will be inverted posts.

　　 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 gymnasium is not worth mentioning compared to ballet. Especially this is still non-professional.

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

　　 And compared to ballet, Catherine also thinks that gymnastics is better. After all, although ballet is beautiful, the damage to the body is not small. After every practice, Catherine will take care of herself carefully for this reason.

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

　　 After all, that was her wish.

　　 Waiting until the 20th, the photo agency began to hold the last screening of the 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 living in high-rise buildings are below the middle class. And families like Catherine are more likely to live in single houses.

　　 Catherine did not expect Ada to live in such a place.

　　 opened the door, and Ada led Catherine into the room.

　　 The room is very tidy, but there are not many things in it. On one wall is a revolver of the American Civil War in the 19th century. There is also a leather case next to it, with something in it, which seems to be bullets.

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

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

　　 Ada answered briefly.

　　 "Would you like something to drink?"

"No, thanks."

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

　　 "Ada, are you back?"

　　 The man is about 180 centimeters tall, with some wrinkles on his face, and a calm look, he doesn't look like a mentally ill person at all.

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

　　 "Hello, sir. Just call me Kate."

　　 Catherine smiled friendly at her.
