Amelia Clarke was surprised; she hadn't expected Mason Carter to agree so readily.
She had asked Mason in person because she was afraid that if she asked over the phone, someone else might force him to say he was willing.
Society has always been full of malice.
"Why?" she asked.
Mason replied, "Uncle Jones said acting in a drama could make money. He told me my sister works hard to make money for Mason's schooling. He also said Mason has grown up and must learn to earn money to buy his own chocolate."
Amelia: "..."
Mr. Jones really had a way with coaxing children.
After a moment of silence, Amelia asked, "Do you know what it means to act in a drama?"
Mason nodded, "Uncle Jones said that acting in a drama is performing on a stage for the people below, just like in a cartoon. Then I'll be like the character in the cartoon. Sister, I really like cartoons. I want to become Ultraman, a superhero saving the world..."
Amelia: "..."
