MEMORY | open to both courts
“Those shots you did for me turned out great! You sure you haven’t done this before, Matou-kun?”
[ the memory opens with a man who looks to be in his mid-30s, a large envelope tucked carefully under one arm, entering what looks to be the (fairly cluttered, if clean) living area of a small-ish apartment, and calling out to someone else sitting by a low table on the floor who looks to be in his late teens. ]
Eh--? [ the teenager on the floor – now recognisably a younger Kariya – stumbles to his feet, taken a little off-guard by both the question and the praise. ] Ah… no this was my first time. Doing it for real, at least. [ somewhat awkwardly, he adds, with a respectful dip of his head: ] Thank you.
[ the older man waves him off, though the dismissive gesture is belied by his pleased smile. ] “Well, you’ve got a good eye – that’s key in a photographer, you know. I know pros who’ve been at this for years who would’ve come over all shaky and ruined at least one of their shots.”
[ Kariya gives a small shrug. ] I just have really steady hands, I guess.
“A good thing, too – film’s expensive, you know. Don’t get complacent, mind, you’ve still got a ways to go, but you could make a living for yourself out of this yet.”
You think so--?
“You know me well enough to know I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t think it. Now, I have some copy to deliver. Keep an eye on the place while I’m out, alright?”
[ what follows is a typical exchange of pleasantries – “i’m off”, “see you later” – before the sound of the apartment door closing is heard, and Kariya is left standing a little way away from the genkan, fighting back a tiny, pleased smile. ]

I... have to admit I'm struggling a little with picturing it. How does that work? Is that sort of thing widespread?

Actually the whole mobile-phone system isn't unlike this locket set up. Just image using this thing to take a photo, rather than video.

Then, do people still use film at all, or is that just a thing of the past?

And you know, I believe some people do, but the ease of digital format has made it fairly uncommon.
