I wonder how the story turns out

is that Peter in the picture?

まぁ。。。ねじれた。。。けど。。。でも。。。

Obon is coming, so maybe this story will end with some sort of ghost haunting the apartment. But I prefer something believable, like the landlord demanding that they take care of his dog “whenever he travels overseas.” And slowly things could be revealed about the dog’s size and personality and how much the landlord is overseas. Both morning and evening walks, of course. Think of the problems they could have with celebrities walking their dogs at the same time! And of course, Hide probably has some allergy to dog hair.

I’m finding this serious to be seriously difficult, I mean close to my head melts when I listen to it difficult. I can decipher the line by line, but it takes time. Should I stick with it? The next level down is lower intermediate (intermediate is no longer running I guess?), which I can generally handle fine, so I’d like to step it up… but this is an almost impossibly high jump in difficulty for me.
