I am tired. I did my job. There is no problem for me. Based on my parents' letters, there was no saying what the box contained. I did my best and handled the delivery all by myself. I want to sleep.
goes to bed
11 pm
parents come home
Marta, I am tired. Can you help me with the luggage?
Sure, honey. grabs the luggage for him
Today sure was a rough day. Having to deal with my boss, helping other people with files, ordering tires… it all wore me out. Oh Ben, thank you, you got my order today.
Hmm, no. I was out all day today.
Wait, you mean you didn't take it? Then if you didn't… you can't tell me that he did it, right?
I mean, I told Lui, but I just did it as a joke because I knew you would be here, Ben, and would take it.
Well, I told him too to take it, but that was also as a joke to him, because I already called the company this morning and they told me the package would be received tomorrow.
Who cares what the order was about? Lui took the box himself. He talked to people. You can't believe how happy I am. But at the same time we kind of plotted together against him.
Well, you said it.
Oh my God, we are bad parents. Really? To have put him in this situation… though it worked out somehow. I feel really bad for him, imagining when he discovered it.
Yes, you are right, honey. He must have had quite a hard time handling the box from the door up here in the house. Come on, he is a man though. I am happy for him too.
So what's in the box then? Or rather, who is the box for?
I don't know. It says "Manit Dru."
the name tag falls on the floor
Huh, it says on the back of the name tag, 'Doctor… um… Vader.' Is that a name?
I don't know. Well, so what do we do?
Well, we should return it, but the one that signed it was Lui.
You mean you want him to return it? Like him going to the delivery post and saying there was a mistake? He could never.
Well, maybe you are right. But he actually talked today with someone and paid something. Something is going on for him. It's the prime of his life. An 18-year-old should be out there, not here locked in the house. I get it that he finds it hard to go out or do anything just because he didn't go to college, but come on, he has to get over it. It's been five months already. I am not saying or forcing him to work or anything, but at least he should go through life and do things, even small daily things. He does nothing, just stays up there in his room.
Well, Marta, don't be so harsh. It is kind of our fault too in one way. We never even bothered to get him to do something like work or even a course. It's just day by day and time moves fast. But I think the future will be good. Though I hope the best for the two of us after all. Who works until 11 pm and wakes up to go again at 7 am?
Well, we can't do anything about it. After all, those jobs are keeping us with money. Plus it's not like we work all day, we take breaks. But yeah, when you say it like that, it's true. We are never at home. But we just need to keep pushing for Lui. After all, everything we do is for him. Do you think I would bother with jobs like the one I have now?
I get you, but we should do something about the box. We can't just leave it here.
I mean, we paid for it, so we can keep it. I am going to keep it in a place where I can see it whenever I want. It would really be a waste to send it back when Lui himself took the box.
meanwhile at the delivery
computer sounds
Wait… what? Why was Rowy's box sent to him? What happened?
calls on phone
Yeah, tell her about the mistake and to fix it first thing tomorrow morning.
delivery girl wakes up
Mia is an 18-year-old girl that didn't go to college since she couldn't afford it, so now she works as a delivery girl. She doesn't like work that much, but she does it anyway just to help her house and her parents. Though she loves anime, and after a long daily work, watching anime is her pleasure. But she watches them in secret. You can call her an anime beginner.
does exercise right after waking up
The days with sun really are the best. My day starts now, hehe.
goes to shower
singing can be heard
Huh yeah… what is it good for? Huh yeah, absolutely nothing… what is war good for? Absolutely nothing!
finishes bath and dries up
stretches
Um, so today is another day of work. Let's see what we have to deal with today… What's wrong with me? I should be more cheerful. It's morning, Mia, cheer up!
smiles and goes out of the house
So today we have… um… Rowy family? And… wait, didn't I already do this yesterday? Yes, that's the house with that guy that was cute. Heh, I can meet him again, yay. Ah, but I wonder what the company will say to me?
goes through bike all the way to DragYourBox
DragYourBox is a delivery company that lets people join the work even part-time. Their motto: "If you can drag a box, be part of DragYourBox."
Mia, come here for a bit, says the manager.
Oh, good morning, manager. You look quite good in that yellow outfit today, you're rocking it.
This is no time to make compliments, Mia. Today you're going to have to get back the box that you sent to the Rowys and deliver it to the right person. I tried to cover it up in the meeting yesterday, so you owe me one. I mean, they could even get you out of the job.
Thank you, manager. I knew I could always depend on you! Really, thank you so much.
Here, get the keys!
Byeee! Manager, see you later!
Huh… I really got lucky this time. Now to start delivering.
opens phone
Today there are really a lot of deliveries, huh? Guess I will take the van today.
DragYourBox is really rich as a company and owns many delivery cars, even famous or expensive ones. These are usually used only for delicate orders or for famous people, but sometimes if deliveries are many they can be used normally.
Guess the van is mine today! So fun.
gets inside car
They keep the fuel always full. How do they even manage that? Well, today I might as well finish quickly with the Rowy family. Hmm… I will talk to that guy again. Maybe I should ask for his number… or maybe social media. I wonder how his face will be when he sees me again. Hmm… he was really cute, just like an anime character.
drives through the city
Okay, finally we are here.
sees herself in the mirror
I gotta fix my hair a bit.
5 minutes later
Now I should probably think about what to say… but I really just want to talk as long as possible with him and find a solution together.
Mia knocks on the door.
