I've been super behind schedule and actually didn't feel like writing anymore because i got very insecure- i'm sorry about that. Your comment gave me a little hope again to write. As for the question if it is the past or the future, it is neither. It is based in an alternate reality, say, present day but "Different".
“How will I even understand Mr. Peter”. Maybe, it was supposed to say “recognize Mr. Peter”? - Understand was meant in a language way and a customs of culture way. The Netherlands and France have been good friends BUT they have been clashing in their customs and culture. Someone who has come from Japan and learned the customs of France would undoubtedly feel extreme pressure in communication if they can not understand a single word of Dutch, and have never interacted with the culture directly. You might be right about the formatting, i'm not used to writing on websites so thank you for pointing that out. I hope i can write more of this novel and i hope you'll read it once it's posted 😀
