Germany: Hmm? Are you the one who requested me to count sheep to you because you couldn’t fall asleep.
*affirmative pause*
Germany: Good. Then let me hear your reason as to why you can’t fall asleep!
*huh pause*
Germany: *whip crack* Just hurry up and answer me! This is a vital and required question! Without a clear and concise reason as to why you became in this state of unrest, you’ll always resort to the ineffecient solution of relying on other’s help when you cannot sleep!
*scared pause*
Germany: Ah, don’t make that face. I am not giving you this advice out of hate for your actions or yourself. Listen. From this point on, should you fall into this same state of unrest, there is always the chance that I will not be able to help you then. No matter what happens, you must examine the situation calmly, and use your own abilities to solve it. I ask for that reason so I may awaken that potential ability within you!
*pause*
Germany: You understand, right? Very well, you shall have an assignment on how to overcome an obstacle. Should you find yourself in this exact same state, you must use your own judgement to examine the situation, and create and utilize a solution! That is all!
*music stops*
Germany: Hey now. what are you doing? Hurry and tuck yourself into bed.
*calm music plays*
Germany: I’m not going to leave just yet, so don’t worry. I want you to take home a solution pertaining to this subject. I do want you to learn for yourself, but I’ll lend you my assistance just this once. Now, lie down and tuck yourself into bed! When you are prepared, I will begin to count sheep!
*pause*
Germany: Are you prepared?
*affirmative pause*
Germany: Well then, COMMENCE OPERATION!
*whip crack*
*Drill sergeant count. Counts until 2:28. Counts 10 sheep.*
Germany: Hmm, you still don’t look tired. What’s wrong? Is there something you want to say? If you don’t, then lie back down and close your eyes. Well, I’ve only counted 10 sheep. You’ll fall asleep soon enough though. Are you ready? I’m going to resume.
*More drill sergeant count. Counts until 3;26. Counts 20 sheep.*
Germany: Huh? You don’t look exhausted at all. Are you sure you want to go to sleep?
*hesitation reply pause*
Germany: As I’ve said before, what’s wrong? If you have something to say to me, then just say it.
*Stop the drill sergeant count and blowing out my eardrums pause*
Germany: Huh? It’s my counting style that’s bothering you? I didn’t really mean to act like I was running a drill, but my brother said the same thing too. Understood. I shall put my efforts into making an appropriate sleep-inducing command. Wait, I’m not commanding now. Sheep counting… Sheep counting…
*Counts until 5:16. Counts 30 sheep.*
*CD bed sounds*
Germany: Looks like you’re finally feeling tired. That is good. I wasn’t angry at you earlier about you being unable to sleep. A relaxing night’s sleep is necessary to have a good day tomorrow. You understand, right? Well, I did forget to practice that a while back, though. A person desperately tried to get me to rest, and made me realize it all over again. Make sure you don’t do things that will make everyone around you worry. Of course, this is the pot calling the kettle black here. Well then, I will resume counting.
*Counts until 8:52. Counts 50 sheep.*
Germany: That is all. Sleeping soundly, right? All right, mission complete. I hope that you’ll be able to take care of yourself when you can’t fall asleep again. I guess I should go now. Gute Nacht.
