Military training by the stream, a conversation with my wife about our room, and the honey > Bonds Gallery

I am by a stream—a stream lined with thickets.
I am standing near the bushes, out for a walk.

Someone is flying a drone.
It passes right by me.

A tank is approaching from the distance.
I step aside into the bushes by the stream to watch.
The tank moves toward the grassy area, with the drone following overhead.
It looks like a military exercise.

High up in the sky, something resembling a satellite is hovering motionless.
I observe both the drone and the satellite.

Then, a robotic arm emerges and tosses something into the air.
It’s a drone.
The drone springs upward and begins to fly.

I wonder if this is a military drill.
Another large object descends from the satellite toward the ground.
I watch it fall.
It fails to stay airborne and crashes toward the mountain in the distance—
—and it feels like it’s about to explode with a loud *thud* any moment.

...

I am discussing matters with my wife.
She talks about where to settle our assets or a lump sum of money.
We consider the deposit we’ll get back once we clear out the room we’re currently using.

We are renting a place here.
Ah, we started out in a room near the main gate,
but now we’re living in a room within the inner section of the house—the part shaped like the Korean letter 'ㄷ' (a U-shape).

We talk about the money we’ll recover when we move out of our current room.
But as I reflect on what my wife said, I realize we were actually using the innermost room as well.
We are occupying two rooms in the inner area.

I only recall this after hearing my wife speak.

...

I am the last one left in the room after my team members have already gone. Realizing a bit late that my teammates had moved to a different game, I quickly leave the current room.

I join the game room where my teammates are currently logged in.

It is a game where you climb up along long vines stretching toward the sky.
About six vines rise vertically into the air.
Players control their characters to grab the vines and ascend.
Small monsters appear along the way to hinder progress.

I grab the rightmost vine and start climbing.
There are leaves along the vine, and monsters are hiding inside them.
At first, I’m flustered, not knowing exactly what to do.
I get hit by a monster.
Then, I turn back, check the controls,
and press the punch button as I move through the foliage.
I defeat the monsters as I climb.
I even take down some of the larger ones.

Eventually, I reach the game's mid-stage area.
There is a large flower, and a honeybee urges my character to taste something.
My character, perhaps wary of the unfamiliar object, hesitates to eat it.
Frustrated, the bee forcibly pushes my character's face into the flower.
That’s when I realize what it is.

The center of the wide, sunflower-like bloom is brimming with honey.
It is offering the honey as a reward.
