Yayoi, welcome back from Hawaii. I see you got some sun.
Yes. I went scuba diving this time, too.
Was it a successful trip?
For the most part, it was but I lost something in the ocean.
In the ocean?
Yeah. I dropped my phone in the water, and I couldn’t get it back.
Oh, I’ve been in that boat.
You went diving in Hawaii, too?
No, I mean I’ve been in that situation.
Oh, I see.
Oh, I’ve been in that boat.
I’ve been there.
I know what that’s like.
I feel you.
I feel for you.
My heart goes out to you.
That’s too bad.
What a shame!
What a pity!
That sucks.
I’ve been in that boat. Don’t worry. It gets better over time.

That’s too bad. I know how much you wanted to get into that school.
