Above questions continued. Still in Miyu's point of view.

Part 2:

15. My childhood. (sigh.) It...Well, when I was younger, it was amazing. It was my first taste of music. I loved it, but later on...That's when I found out how stupid other people could be. And I'm the one who got in trouble for my peers' idiocy! They're the ones who should be punished for being so apathetic and stupid. Don't talk to me about it, okay? It'll ruin your day and mine.

16. My earliest memory...Well, my mom played xylophone. I loved it - that particular song reminded me of tropical islands where coconuts grew like in storybooks. It's nostalgic to me, even if it's the melody's (xylophone) part alone. (She smiles.)

17. I've been able to go to school for ten years and progress through my graded education. I did kindergarten at home, but did the rest of my schooling in an elementary school in Tokyo. When I moved I enrolled in Hamaki--Rosa for middle/high school, where I am today.

18. Seeing how slow everyone was, I tried to enjoy it. I really did. And I still do, at least for the classes that aren't music or band. For the musical ones I've given up. I really have.

19. My parents taught me musical things. I took swimming lessons in Tokyo. Neither of them were my school teachers.

20. I guess my parents were my role models. They taught me to always keep experimenting, to keep making music and trying to make the best art I can. Music is an art, at least to me.

21. With my parents, a very big yes. With my extended family, most of the time. It went well, I'd say.

22. I wanted to be a professional musician and play in orchestras, in concert halls all over the world. Far-fetched, right?

23. I loved playing my flute and recreating each and every song I heard for flute. Outside music, I liked drawing. Like most kids would.

24. Mmm....Optimism. Eagerness. Expressiveness. And the most evident of them all, a natural tendency to be happy. If only I could still be that blissful.

25. Ugh, no. Most kids stayed away from me, because they were angry and scared and ugh. Some tried to 'make it all better', but that never worked. Even so, a few were mature enough to leave the issue alone and play with me anyways. In fact, one of them could sing like an angel - but then she moved before I could meet her. Terrible, isn't it?

26. My first kiss? Parents don't count here, right? If so, then I won't lie. I haven't had one yet, but there is this one kid who I've wanted to meet for a while. Maybe...Know what, I won't tell you if it happens.

27. Who are you to be asking that? I'm only 15, so of course!

28. That's a better question. My parents influenced me to be a musician. My peers and teachers' stupidity influenced me to not be disappointed by their idiocy, but rather be surprised when something good actually comes out of them.

So Miyazaki - what about Catherine? What are her answers?
