Yeah. Most recently I lived right outside of London, but before that I lived in New York for a couple years for college. I've never been to Paris either... I wish my parents could see it. Without, um, being here to see it, obviously.
... Me too, now that I think about it. My mom and sister would love it. They'd be so excited about the pastry shops and how romantic the lights are. [ It makes him laugh. ] They'd probably want to go to London too... See all the old castles.
Ah... Actually, not really. [ he rubs his neck ] I've been living apart from them for the past five years, and I'm not great at keeping in touch. They're just very vocal about what they like.
[there's a little pause as he asks that, hesitating.]
Oh, it's, um - it's just me and my parents. [...] I left for college, but I still saw them over the summer each year. Winter break, too, that kind of thing.
[ that's not very subtle, but he doesn't press too much. ]
I moved to Australia for swim training. [ sports anime... ] Sounds like we weren't that different. I usually went home for summer and winter break too.
They were kind of overbearing whenever I'd visit but... I miss them.

Oh - were you training for the Olympics or something? That's really impressive.
