Mika Kobayashi:
What are you doing?

Daigo Kobayashi:
This one. Here.

Mika Kobayashi:
What?

Daigo Kobayashi:
A stone letter.

Mika Kobayashi:
Stone letter?

Daigo Kobayashi:
Long ago, before writing, you'd send someone a stone that suited the way you were feeling. From its weight and touch, they'd know how you felt. From a smooth stone they might get that you were happy, or from a rough one that you were worried about them.

Mika Kobayashi:
Thank you.

Daigo Kobayashi:
What did you feel?

Mika Kobayashi:
Not telling. That's a lovely story. Who told you?

Daigo Kobayashi:
My dad.

Mika Kobayashi:
You mean... that big rock?

Daigo Kobayashi:
Yep. I got it from him.

Mika Kobayashi:
I didn't know that.

Daigo Kobayashi:
He said he'd send me one every year, but that's all I ever got. That jerk!
