{{SL|You|There are so many people here.}}
A few days later, after another block-building lesson, you walk past an event in the shopping mall when you and Marius are leaving the classroom.

As the contest is fast approaching, there has been a block-building boom in Stellis.

{{SL|You|"Complete a piece of work here to redeem limited edition blocks." That looks fun!}}
{{SL|Marius|We can give it a try if you're interested.}}
The volunteers enthusiastically guide you to sit down at the outdoor workbench, which has all kinds of blocks placed upon it.

{{SL|Volunteer|Miss, are you joining this event with your boyfriend?}}
{{SL|Volunteer|Our prize today is the "Lover's Heart" series designed by Mr. Osten himself.}}
{{SL|Marius|The "Lover's Heart" series?}}
{{SL|You|Do you know about it?}}
{{SL|Marius|Yeah. Mr. Osten is the inventor of puzzle blocks. I've collected every set of his works.}}
{{SL|Marius|The Lover's Heart is one of his later works. From the individual pieces to the entire set in a whole, everything in this set is heart-shaped.}}
{{SL|Marius|The concept is ingenious and absolutely unique.}}
{{SL|Volunteer|You're very familiar with it. You must be a hobbyist.}}
{{SL|Volunteer|Indeed, the Lover's Heart is one of Mr. Osten's most famous works. At the time, it even sparked interest from non-hobbyists as well.}}
The volunteer speaks with great admiration. She then explains the rules of the event to you.

This event is actually part of the prologue for the block-building contest. You can redeem a set of Lover's Heart blocks with any original work submitted.

{{SL|You|There are castles, planes, teddy bears... People are so talented!}}
Seeing the mass of people building with blocks, you let out a gasp of admiration.

{{SL|You|Marius, what should we build?}}
Marius ponders briefly, and quickly comes up with an idea. He picks out the pieces he needs from the pile.

{{SL|You|What are you going to build?}}
{{SL|Marius|It's a secret.}}
Marius winks at you, turns over to the workbench, and focuses on building.

As he works magic with his fingers, his skillful movements attract many onlookers.

{{SL|You|This looks... familiar.}}
A small doll made out of puzzle blocks is gradually taking shape in Marius' hands. The doll's expression and outfit look just like...

{{SL|You|That's... me!?}}
As Marius finishes his creation, you can faintly hear the onlookers whispering to one another.

{{SL|Young Woman A|My gosh, that's so romantic. He built a figure of his girlfriend.}}
{{SL|Young Woman B|He's so handsome and talented. The hot ones are never mine.}}
{{SL|You|You weren't even looking at me, so how did...}}
{{SL|Marius|The image is in my heart. I don't need to look at you to make this.}}
Hearing Marius' answer, you realize you've spoken your thoughts out loud. Your face instantly goes bright red.

Marius hands you the figure that he'd built with a smile.

{{SL|Marius|I've finished. It's your turn now.}}
{{SL|Marius|Don't worry. Just remember what I've told you before.}}
{{SL|You|S-sorry...}}
Half an hour later, you hold out a doll that barely looks like a person. You apologize awkwardly.

{{SL|Marius|It's okay. It's not a big deal.}}
{{SL|Marius|At least this way, I won't have to worry about getting jealous.}}
{{SL|You|What?}}
{{SL|Marius|I mean, it's okay to not have a doll. You have me, and that's enough.}}
{{SL|Marius|After all, sometimes I even feel jealous of myself.}}
{{SL|You|Marius von Hagen!}}
Thanks to Marius' work, you manage to redeem the "Lover's Heart."

Even though Marius says he doesn't mind, you can't help but sense that he's hiding a little disappointment.

{{SL|You|Let me add this last piece... Okay, done!}}
Since then, you practice block-building even harder than before. Before the day of the contest, you're finally able to build a doll out of blocks.

The doll in your hand looks quite similar to Marius. It has the same cheeky expression.

{{SL|You|I wonder how Marius would react when he sees this.}}
{{SL|Marius|The image is in my heart. I don't need to look at you to make this.}}
As you recall what Marius said that day, you find yourself blushing for some reason.

{{SL|You|So... that's what he meant...}}
{{SL|You|Now that I've built it, I'll give the doll to him on his birthday.}}
