'''Scene 1: Vyn's study'''


'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Wait for me here. I'll go make some tea.
|story1Summary=The main character meets Vyn for tea, noting the tea set reminds her of a recent magic show they'd seen together; she praises the magician, failing to notice that this upsets Vyn. In a flashback, she recalls the show from the previous weekend. During the show, the MC praised the performance as a work of art before she was introduced to the magician, a friend of Vyn's from Svart named [[Kingdom of Svart#Current Residents|Carl]]. Vyn tried to stay ambiguous about the nature of the relationship between himself and the MC, which caused Carl to divert his attention to the MC.


'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Thank you, Dr. Richter.
|story2Summary=Carl openly flirted with the MC by showing her a few tricks and offering to explain his show. Vyn grew upset as the conversation continued, eventually interrupting when Carl offered the MC a rose; Carl pointed out that Vyn was not behaving like himself before instead gifting the MC a hair tie. The perspective returns to the present as the MC enthuses about the show once more, and Vyn grows quiet before deriding magic as nothing special, sparking a debate.


Vyn smiles at you and heads downstairs to make tea.
|story3Summary=The debate on the merits of magic continues, with Vyn explaining some of the psychology that supports his view of magicians as simple deceivers while the MC argues their ability to bring illusion to life is a wondrous thing. As they debate, the MC steals Vyn's glasses to make a point about how perception and imagination interact. Vyn admits defeat but presses the MC to admit that the ability to see the truth of the human heart through any deception is even more profound.


A few days ago, Dr. Richter invited you for tea over the weekend to celebrate the arrival of his new tea set.
|story4Summary=Days later, Vyn calls to set up a meeting the following weekend to give the MC a gift. When she arrives at Stellis University that weekend, Vyn starts to offer the gift, but their interaction is interrupted by a university alumnus who needs help proposing to his girlfriend with a magic show in the woods behind the exhibition hall. The two agree to help, with the MC being the lead assistant.


You have some psychology-related questions that you wanted to consult Vyn about, so you accepted his invitation.
|story5Summary=After some practice and final checks over the scene, the magician's girlfriend, Rena, arrives. When the show begins, the MC assists with the magician's tricks with brief help from Vyn, and the proposal goes smoothly.


'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Hm? What are all these books on Dr. Richter's desk?
|story6Summary=The magician apologizes for interrupting the date in progress, which flusters the MC. After the audience leaves, Vyn apologizes for his arrogance in their debate, saying that with some first-hand experience, he now has a better understanding of how great magicians can be. The MC asks for her gift, and Vyn admits he was going to perform a simple magic trick, but he's worried it will disappoint her after the grand proposal. She reassures him, and he performs the trick, gifting her a hair clip and stating he won't be outdone by anyone in front of her.


After Vyn leaves, you take a look around his study.

'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Poker cards... dice... tablecloth? What are these for?
|storyYear=1


These poker cards look quite ordinary, not the same gold-plated ones that you saw during your first visit.
|textMessage1Title=Shopping Invitation
 
|textMessage1Script=
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' And... are those wires on the other side? What are the shiny things in that box? Pigments...?
{{SL|You|Dr. Richter, do you usually go out and walk around the streets?}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|You mean going shopping?}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Why are these things on Dr. Richter's desk? How peculiar...
{{SC
 
|choice1=To shop
You stare at Vyn's desk trying to figure out how these items are related, but still remain clueless after a while.
|script1={{SL|You|Yeah. Do you usually go out and shop around by yourself?}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|Yes. I believe that you can only determine the value of the item after having seen it yourself.}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (ls Dr. Richter experimenting with a new psychology test...?)
|choice2=To walk
 
|script2={{SL|You|No, I meant to ask...}}
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' The black tea is quite hot. Be careful.
{{SL|You|Do you go out for walks? Just taking a stroll somewhere and the like?}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I sometimes look for a quiet place to walk around when I have spare time.}}}}
While you are deep in thought, Vyn's voice comes from behind.
{{SL|Vyn|Why? Are you asking me out for a walk?}}
 
{{SC
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Ah, thank you, Dr. Richter!
|choice1=Yeah. Take a walk with me
 
|script1={{SL|You|Yeah. I'd like to take a walk with you over the weekend and relax.}}
You turn around and see Vyn holding a tea set in his hands.
{{SL|Vyn|What a coincidence, I was just thinking about doing the same.}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I was going to ask if you were free this weekend to go out with me.}}
The porcelain tea set is gold gilded and painted with flowers. Small rabbits were also sculpted on the handles and cups of the set.
|choice2=No. I'm just randomly asking
 
|script2=
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah! Is this tea set the same prop that the magician used on stage when we went to see him perform that day...?
{{SL|You|Ah, no... I'm just curious.}}
 
{{SL|You|You're normally so busy, so you probably don't have the time to go out with me...}}
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Hehe, the one on stage was a prop. This set is made of real china and is the prototype for that prop.
{{SL|Vyn|Why would I not have the time for you?}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I have been looking forward to going out with you.}}}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Real China? It must be expensive...)
{{SL|Vyn|Well... since you were the one to extend the invitation, you get to pick where we go.}}
 
{{SC
You sit next to the small desk and pick up the tea set carefully.
|choice1=Central Business District
 
|script1=
Vyn takes this opportunity to quickly remove all the odd items from his desk and place them inside the drawer.
{{SL|You|Let's go walk around in the Central Business District!}}
 
{{SL|You|I need to go buy something!}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Dr. Richter, did your magician friend return to his home country already?
{{SL|Vyn|Sure. I know a really good dessert shop. We can go there if we get tired.}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|Right, if you do not mind, can you also come with me to the Gardening Market?}}
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ... Yes. He returned home after finishing his tour in Stellis City.
{{SL|Vyn|I want to see if there are new rose bushes there.}}
 
|choice2=Gardening Market
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I see... Hopefully, he'll get the opportunity to come here for a tour again!
|script2=
 
{{SL|You|Why don't we go to the Gardening Market!}}
As you recall that grand magic show, fond memories return.
{{SL|You|You're always tending to the garden. You must be really interested in gardening, huh?}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|Yes, I bought quite a few of the flowers in my garden from the Gardening Market.}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It would be great to see his performance once again...
{{SL|Vyn|We can go and see if they have new rose bushes.}}
 
}}
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
{{SC
 
|choice1=I happen to be learning about flowers
Vyn tightens his grip on the tea cup in his hands while you are not looking.
|script1=
 
{{SL|You|Alright. I've been wanting to learn about gardening from you too.}}
'''Scene 2: Opera House'''
{{SL|Vyn|No problem. I will tell you anything that you wish to know.}}
 
|choice2=Hope the weekend comes sooner
Last weekend, Vyn invited you to the opera house to watch a grand magic show.
|script2=
 
{{SL|You|Alright, then it's set! I'll be looking forward to the weekend!}}
He was a friend of Vyn's from abroad. The magician was now on a global tour performing the international award-winning "Mad Alice."
{{SL|Vyn|Can I interpret what you just said as... you looking forward to being with me?}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I am just joking, you need not answer that.}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Wow! Dr. Richter, the background scenes are beautiful! But, my eyes can barely keep up because it keeps changing...
{{SL|Vyn|I will see you over the weekend. I look forward to every chance I can be with you as well.}}
 
}}
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' They are meant to show the mental state of Alice as she gradually turns mad.
|textMessage2Title=Magician Apprentice
 
|textMessage2Script=
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' The faster the scenes of the Wonderland change, the darker and more distorted her mind becomes.
{{SL|Vyn|I saw you wearing the hair clip I gave you. It looks good on you.}}
 
{{SC
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' My eyes can't keep up anymore... Dr. Richter, can you still tell how many scene changes there were?
|choice1=Thanks
 
|script1={{SL|You|Really? Thanks, Dr. Richter.}}
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' This is the fifth. If we include all the minor scenes in between, I am afraid even I have lost count myself.
{{SL|Vyn|I am very happy to see you wear it.}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I should be thanking you for not thinking that my magic trick was crude.}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Incredible... this is not just a magic show, it's actually a work of art...!
|choice2=You're very skillful
 
|script2={{SL|You|It's all because of your amazing craftsmanship.}}
The scenes on the stage continuously change, while the gripping performance keep delivering surprises.
{{SL|You|Not only can you make hair clips, but you can do magic tricks as well!}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I am glad you liked it. I was worried that you would think it crude.}}}}
During the tea party of the Mad Hatter, played by the magician, there was also a cute bunny performing alongside him.
{{SL|Vyn|Oh, are you still interested in magic?}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I learned a few newer ones lately. I can show them to you.}}
The entire show ends with thunderous applause. You stand up and enthusiastically applaud the magician.
{{SC
 
|choice1=You learn so quickly
After everyone had left, Vyn's friend comes to meet Vyn and you at the front stage.
|script1={{SL|You|Dr. Richter, you honestly learn things so quickly...}}
 
{{SL|You|You'll be able to compete with the work of other magicians soon enough.}}
'''Magician:''' Vilhelm, long time no see. I am really honored to have you at my show.
{{SL|Vyn|I doubt that. I am only learning the simple tricks.}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I merely added my own twist to it.}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Huh? He's speaking in...)
|choice2=How'd you learn it
 
|script2={{SL|You|Dr. Richter, who did you learn this from?}}
Suddenly you hear a foreign language. You realize that this must be Vyn's native language.
{{SL|You|Are they not afraid of you becoming better than them?}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I did not learn it from anyone in particular.}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Looks like I won't be understanding their conversation for a while. I'll wait until they're done before asking Dr. Richter about it.)
{{SL|Vyn|I just made some changes to the basic techniques.}}}}
 
{{SC
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Long time no see, Carl. Congratulations on winning the world championship. This must be a dream come true.
|choice1=You're too modest
 
|script1={{SL|You|You're too modest, Dr. Richter!}}
'''Magician:''' Yes! I promised you a few years back that I would win first prize. I finally did it.
{{SL|You|You already have your own techniques...?}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I am a long way off compared to the real magicians.}}
While you are confused by their conversation since you couldn't understand anything, Vyn turns around and introduces you to the magician.
{{SL|Vyn|Even if it is just a simple magic trick, I hope you will find it to be unique.}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|That is why I came up with a few techniques of my own.}}
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' (Name), this is Carl, a friend of mine from when I was abroad.
|choice2=Show off
 
|script2={{SL|You|Now I think you're just trying to show off...}}
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' The show tickets were a gift from him.
{{SL|You|Dr. Richter, you're crushing me here...}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|I did not mean to do that.}}
Then, he turns back to Carl but does not continue speaking in their native tongue.
{{SL|Vyn|I just wanted to give you a different kind of surprise. That is why I came up with my own techniques.}}}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|The trick itself is not hard. If you are interested, I can teach it to you.}}
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Carl, this is (Name), my...
{{SC
 
|choice1=That's great
'''Magician:''' Your date, right? Sorry for prattling on like that, my lady. That was rude of me.
|script1={{SL|You|That would be great! I've always wanted to learn!}}
 
{{SL|You|I'm not sure if I'll be able to learn it.}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (... So he does know our language!)
{{SL|Vyn|You will do just fine.}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|It was not too hard being my TA last time, was it?}}
Carl smiles apologetically and greets you, which actually makes you feel a little bad.
|choice2=Worried that I can't learn it
 
|script2={{SL|You|I want to, but I'm afraid I won't get it...}}
Vyn, who had been interrupted by Carl, made no move to correct him.
{{SL|You|I felt really dumb, especially when compared to you.}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|Magic performances share a common ground with psychology. That is why I can pick it up so easily.}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Hello, Mr. Carl.
{{SL|Vyn|I think you will also be able to pick it up quickly.}}}}
 
{{SL|Vyn|Come to my place over the weekend. I will teach it to you over some tea and dessert.}}
'''Magician:''' Hello, my dear Ms. (Name).
}}
 
'''Magician:''' Actually, I was just about to ask... Vilhelm, I can't believe you brought a date along to see my show!
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... Huh?
 
You are surprised at what he just said.
 
'''Magician:''' You used to come alone all the time. When you asked for two tickets this time around, I was quite shocked.
 
'''Magician:''' But if it is because of this lady... hehe, I can understand.
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Do not go making wild guesses regarding me.
 
'''Magician:''' Was I making wild guesses? I don't think so...
 
'''Magician:''' I know you well and can easily determine if it was just a wild guess.
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
 
Listening to their conversation in what seemed like riddles, you couldn't quite wrap your head around it.
 
The magician suddenly smirks and diverts his gaze away from Vyn to you.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...?
 
'''Magician:''' Allow me to introduce my lovely partner to this dear lady...
 
While talking, Carl takes out the top hat from his performance. He bows and turns the hat upside down.
 
Suddenly, two white bunny ears popped out from within the hat that had been turned upside-down.
 
Following that, a furry white head pops up and stares at you with a pair of shiny, red pupils.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah... a bunny...!
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' So cute!!
 
{{tab/header|Story 2}}
'''Scene 1: Opera House'''
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah... a bunny...!
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' So cute!!
 
This was the same bunny that played March Hare on stage just now! You've always wanted to pet it...
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Can I pet it?
 
'''Magician:''' Of course!
 
With Carl's approval, you hold out your hand towards the bunny.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (wow... its fur is so soft! This bunny is so cute!)
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
 
'''Magician:''' Hehe... if you are interested, I can explain to you the design process behind this performance!
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Wow, really?
 
'''Magician:''' Of course, I am happy to be at the service of pretty ladies.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Thank you, Mr. Carl! Please do tell!
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
 
Afterward, Carl enthusiastically tells you the design process and the inside story of the performance.
 
In contrast, the usually sociable Vyn remains silent next to you.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' That's amazing! You have to design the entire performance in addition to the magic!
 
'''Magician:''' Hehe. This is a must for magicians! The concept materials can enrich the magic and bring all kinds of inspirations.
 
The magician patiently answers all your questions on the magic show as he shows you around onstage.
 
By the time you return to the front stage, you had already learned a lot about the show's inside story.
 
'''Magician:''' Stellis City is the last stop of my tour. Soon, I will have to start preparing for the next championship.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah... So that was your last performance. What a shame...
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' However, it's great that you can build on your experiences to create even better performances! I hope you win again!
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I will eagerly await your next tour at Stellis City!
 
'''Magician:''' I will not let you down.
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' ...
 
Carl then asks you to wait a moment as he then takes out a piece of red cloth from a box next to him.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Mr. Carl...?
 
'''Magician:''' It is an honor to meet such a lovely lady today...
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Huh...?
 
Mr. Carl then suddenly walks forward and leans towards you assertively.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...!
 
'''Magician:''' Please accept this gift from me as a token of my admiration.
 
With a crackle, the red cloth starts burning in his hand.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ahh!!
 
Then, in the midst of your exclamation, he uses his hand to extinguish the fire.
 
You look down at the center of his palm, where a red rose quietly laid.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Wow...!
 
'''Magician:''' Dear lady, will you please accept my gift?
 
Carl extends the rose before you.
 
Somehow, you can't help but feel that there is something more to Carl's actions.
 
After hesitating a bit, you...
 
{{tab/start}}
{{tab/header|Accept rose}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Since he's a friend of Dr. Richter's, I better accept it.)
 
With that in mind, you reach your hand towards the rose.
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Carl, are you quite done?
 
His long, slender fingers gently wrap themselves around your fingers, blocking off Carl's hand.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Dr. Richter...?
 
Vyn gently lets go of your hand.
 
Surprised, you look at him, only to see displeasure reflected in his eyes.
 
'''Magician:''' Sorry, I was just joking.
 
'''Magician:''' I guess... it was not a wild guess about you and her.
 
{{tab/header|Don't accept rose}}
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Although he's a friend of Dr. Richter's, giving me flowers on our first meeting's a little...)
 
You sneak a peek at Vyn, wondering how he'd react to it.
 
Much to your surprise, Vyn actually appeared upset.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Ah...! I didn't notice that Dr. Richter was upset...!)
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Was it because I kept talking to the magician, so he didn't have any time to catch up with his old friend...)
 
'''Magician:''' Huh? What's wrong? You don't like roses?
 
'''Magician:''' If you prefer other kinds of flowers, I can...
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' That is enough, Carl.
 
Suddenly, Vyn speaks coldly and interrupts the magician.
{{tab/end}}
 
The magician doesn't seem fazed at the cold look on Vyn's face. Instead, he only raises a playful eyebrow at him.
 
Afterwards, he says something to Vyn in a foreign language that you didn't understand.
 
'''Magician:''' It's not like you to lose your composure like this, Vilhelm.
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' It is none of your business.
 
Vyn adverted his gaze, responding coldly to him.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (What did they say just now...?)
 
Perhaps realizing the inappropriateness of his attitude, Vyn returns to his normal self again.
 
The two of them start talking about the old days again, as if nothing happened. Soon, it was time for you to leave.
 
'''Magician:''' Since you cannot accept the rose, then you must take this gift instead.
 
When it's time to part ways, Carl gives you a hair tie decorated with rabbit fur.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' So cute... I will cherish it!
 
Afterward, you and Vyn bid your farewells and leave the opera house.
 
'''Scene 2: Vyn's Study'''
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Did Mr. Carl send this tea set from overseas?
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Yes. According to him, his inspirations came from this tea set.
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' After he won the prize, he specially went to thank the tea set's designer in person.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's amazing how he can design a whole performance, magic and all, around a tea set!
 
You cannot help but get all excited upon remembering Carl's amazing performance and the dreamlike scenes.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It would be great if I had another chance to see his performance!
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Hmm... Maybe I'll go watch the next live broadcast of the international magic contest online!
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' With Mr. Carl's abilities, winning the championship again should be easy!
 
Just as you are expressing your admiration for Carl, you realize that Vyn had gone silent again.
 
Just like last time, Vyn goes quiet after hearing you mention Carl and his magic.
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' (What's wrong with Dr. Richter...)
 
You tilted your head, attempting to make out his expression behind the hair hanging in front of this face.
 
'''[[Vyn Richter|Vyn]]:''' Magic is nothing profound. It just takes advantage of people's psychological perception to make something fake look real.
 
Putting down his cup, Vyn looks up and says a few words. He sounds very indifferent saying that.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Why do you say that? I think that it's pretty difficult to capture the hearts of so many people during a performance...
 
You suddenly see a hint of mischief in his eyes.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...Right, I shouldn't be talking about controlling one's psychological perception in front of a psychiatrist.
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' But, wouldn't every magician be skilled at figuring out the audience's mental state of mind if that were the case?
 
'''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Do you have to be a master at psychology before you can become a magician?

Text Message script

You: Dr. Richter, do you usually go out and walk around the streets?

Vyn: You mean going shopping?

To shop

You: Yeah. Do you usually go out and shop around by yourself?

Vyn: Yes. I believe that you can only determine the value of the item after having seen it yourself.

To walk

You: No, I meant to ask...

You: Do you go out for walks? Just taking a stroll somewhere and the like?

Vyn: I sometimes look for a quiet place to walk around when I have spare time.

Vyn: Why? Are you asking me out for a walk?

Yeah. Take a walk with me

You: Yeah. I'd like to take a walk with you over the weekend and relax.

Vyn: Well... since you were the one to extend the invitation, you get to pick where we go.

Central Business District

You: Let's go walk around in the Central Business District!

You: I need to go buy something!

Vyn: Sure. I know a really good dessert shop. We can go there if we get tired.

Vyn: Right, if you do not mind, can you also come with me to the Gardening Market?

Vyn: I want to see if there are new rose bushes there.

Gardening Market

You: Why don't we go to the Gardening Market!

You: You're always tending to the garden. You must be really interested in gardening, huh?

Vyn: Yes, I bought quite a few of the flowers in my garden from the Gardening Market.

Vyn: No problem. I will tell you anything that you wish to know.

Hope the weekend comes sooner

Magician Apprentice
(After Story 6)
Text Message script

Vyn: I saw you wearing the hair clip I gave you. It looks good on you.

Thanks

You: Really? Thanks, Dr. Richter.

Vyn: I am very happy to see you wear it.

Vyn: I should be thanking you for not thinking that my magic trick was crude.

You're very skillful

You: It's all because of your amazing craftsmanship.

You: Not only can you make hair clips, but you can do magic tricks as well!

Vyn: I am glad you liked it. I was worried that you would think it crude.

Vyn: Oh, are you still interested in magic?

Vyn: I learned a few newer ones lately. I can show them to you.

You learn so quickly

You: Dr. Richter, you honestly learn things so quickly...

You: You'll be able to compete with the work of other magicians soon enough.

Vyn: I doubt that. I am only learning the simple tricks.

Vyn: I merely added my own twist to it.

How'd you learn it

You: Dr. Richter, who did you learn this from?

You: Are they not afraid of you becoming better than them?

Vyn: I did not learn it from anyone in particular.

Vyn: I just made some changes to the basic techniques.

You're too modest

You: You're too modest, Dr. Richter!

You: You already have your own techniques...?

Vyn: I am a long way off compared to the real magicians.

Vyn: Even if it is just a simple magic trick, I hope you will find it to be unique.

Vyn: That is why I came up with a few techniques of my own.

Show off

Vyn: I just wanted to give you a different kind of surprise. That is why I came up with my own techniques.

You: I'm not sure if I'll be able to learn it.

Vyn: You will do just fine.

Vyn: It was not too hard being my TA last time, was it?

Worried that I can't learn it

You: I want to, but I'm afraid I won't get it...

You: I felt really dumb, especially when compared to you.

Vyn: Magic performances share a common ground with psychology. That is why I can pick it up so easily.

Vyn: I think you will also be able to pick it up quickly.

Vyn: Come to my place over the weekend. I will teach it to you over some tea and dessert.
