| '''Scene 1: Dessert Shop'''
| |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...
| | {{tab/header|Phone Call}} |
| | |
| On the table lies Stellis' number one cream puff. Normally, you would have already wolfed it down.
| |
| | |
| However, you have no appetite at all right now.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Marius, does it have to be like this...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' You don't like the limited flavor?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' That's not what I'm talking about!
| |
| | |
| You and Marius only showed up at the shop's door and were invited in by the owner like some celebrities renting out the whole place.
| |
| | |
| Looking out the French windows, crowds in long queues surround the shop, still unwilling to dissipate.
| |
| | |
| You and Marius, the ONLY two customers being served, naturally hold their attention. There's no way you can enjoy anything like this.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' It's what you wanted. Cheer up.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| If you had known it'd be like this, you would've never mentioned the words "cream puff"!
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 2: Flashback (Your Residence, phone call with Marius)'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Safely home? Wanna go out tomorrow?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' How about the lake? Away from the crowds and nice for a stroll.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Marius von Hagen, where are your manners? You don't even ask if I'm free tomorrow before asking me out?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Tomorrow's a holiday. You're not gonna say you're not free tomorrow and cruelly turn me down, are you?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I barely have enough time to see you as it is. The company, studio, and school have taken up most of my time.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' It's hard for me to get a free weekend. Promise me this once, Miss...
| |
| | |
| Listening to his whining, you know he's intentionally being a willful child begging for candies, but...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Fine. Not the park, but the CBD.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' No problemo. We're going shopping?
| |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Kiki showed me some food reviews. The renowned puff shop in the city just opened a branch store in the CBD.
| | {{tab/end}} |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' They also rolled out a seasonal limited flavor. We better go queue up early. The shop's really popular.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Sure. I can get you to the front of the line, no problem.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You're gonna go queue up for me?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' What? 'Course not. You'll see tomorrow.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 3: Present (Dessert Shop)'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Hey... You don't have to line up now. Why are you so upset?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yeah, not needing to queue up is great, but being treated like some VIP is something else.
| |
| | |
| Looking out the window, you really don't enjoy how the other neglected customers are staring at you.
| |
| | |
| However, Marius seems to be accustomed to this already, to the point that he doesn't even realize they are there.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Oh. I'll ask them to close the curtains. How about that?
| |
| | |
| Finally, it hits him – not.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Never mind. Let's just go to the park. We can eat and take a break there.
| |
| | |
| Packing up the cream puff, you and Marius leave the shop.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 4: Park'''
| |
| | |
| In the park, you find a random bench to sit down and take out the puff.
| |
| | |
| Feeling a bit more at ease without people staring at you, you soon finish the puff with Marius.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Next time, just tell them you're with me so you don't have to line up. They belong to the Pax Group anyway.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' And you ask why people hate the upper-class...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I don't care. As long as I can get you what you want. So, do you like the puff?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I prefer the ordinary flavors better. This is too...
| |
| | |
| Suddenly, something hits you then drops to the ground.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' A rock... from the tree?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' You okay? Are you injured?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I'm fine. It's just a small rock. Plus, it only fell onto my skirt.
| |
| | |
| The words had only just left your mouth when a few more rocks are thrown at you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| Marius grabs you and steps in to shield you from the rocks.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I see you. Get down from there!
| |
| | |
| {{tab/header|Story 2}} | |
| '''Scene 1: Park (River)'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I see you. Get down from there!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| The attack stopped. You turn to look at the tree Marius called out at and see a small shape standing up amidst the crown of the tree.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' A kid?
| |
| | |
| A 6 or 7-year-old kid is standing on a tree branch, glaring down at Marius.
| |
| | |
| His pockets are full of rocks, no doubt.
| |
| | |
| You are just about to demand a reason from him for throwing rocks at you when Marius speaks first.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Little buddy, did your parents not teach you that you can't just go throwing rocks at people?
| |
| | |
| '''Boy:''' ...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Humph. I'm not gonna fight with a kid. Just stop pelting people with rocks, you hear?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Or else...
| |
| | |
| You are looking forward to seeing how Marius scares a kid when you feel him nudging you with his elbow.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Hey... how do you scare a brat?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...Say that you're going to tell his parents. Isn't that usually what people do?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Does it really work? I mean, my father never did anything to punish me for doing something bad.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Why does it feel like you're proud of being a brat?
| |
| | |
| '''Boy:''' Meanie!
| |
| | |
| Either you or Marius must have said something to trigger the kid, who immediately throws a few more rocks your way.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| Now that you think of it, trying to reason with the kid literally on "unequal" footing is a bit impractical.
| |
| | |
| You tug on Marius sleeve, gesturing for him to just go somewhere else.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 2: Park (Fountain)'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That darn kid almost ruined my day...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Don't be upset. We'll go talk to him once he calms down.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I can't help it. I mean, he threw rocks at you! At least you're not hurt.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I'm fine. I was too far away to be actually hurt anyway.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Humph. Lucky for him, else he's really gonna get it from me.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I wonder what got into him though. Could it be seeing us eating the puff?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Huh? How is this even related to that?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's the only logical explanation. Throwing rocks may be his way of expressing his desires and gripes.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' It's plausible. But if that's the case, I could go get a box of puffs and try to lure him down...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' And then what?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Then... I'll teach him a lesson and get his parents to ground him...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' We better go see if he's still up in the tree first.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 3: Park (River)'''
| |
| | |
| You choose to stay a relatively safe distance away and observe the kid first. Neither of you favor the idea of being hit, of course.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Still up there I see. He's not coming down any time soon, is he?
| |
| | |
| As soon as the kid hears Marius' voice, he immediately stands up.
| |
| | |
| '''Boy:''' Meanie, villain! Daddy got scolded because of you!
| |
| | |
| He tries to hit you with his rocks again, but he couldn't reach you at this distance.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Your dad got scolded... because of me?
| |
| | |
| '''Boy:''' Meanie! Villain! I will punish you for my Daddy!
| |
| | |
| Furiously trying to hit Marius, the kid starts to inch toward the other end of the branch.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Watch out!
| |
| | |
| Unable to withstand the kid's weight, the branch snaps. Right before your eyes, the kid falls into the lake.
| |
| | |
| Choking and losing strength, he struggles only for a few seconds before going under.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' We have to get help!
| |
| | |
| You take out your phone it call the emergency line.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' You stay put!
| |
| | |
| Marius speaks in a rush.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' What are you —
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' No time to wait, I'm gonna save him!
| |
| | |
| With a running start, Marius flips over the fence surrounding the lake with ease.
| |
| | |
| He then leaps into the water without hesitation.
| |
| | |
| {{tab/header|Story 3}}
| |
| '''Scene 1: Park (River)'''
| |
| | |
| You take a deep breath, trying to calm down, and then call for help.
| |
| | |
| After giving the emergency personnel the location and explaining the situation, you hurry to the lake.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Marius!
| |
| | |
| You shout at the top of your lungs, trying to draw the attention of passersby in this park of a few visitors.
| |
| | |
| The water stagnates. The bubbles and ripples have died down. No one responds to your calls.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Is he okay...? When is the ambulance gonna get here!?
| |
| | |
| Time passes slowly, almost as if it's playing with your anxiety and messing with you.
| |
| | |
| Just when you feel like you're going out of your mind, you suddenly notice some bubbles coming up from beneath the surface of the water.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...!
| |
| | |
| It's Marius! Holding the kid's head with one hand and lifting him up, he swims back toward you.
| |
| | |
| Upon seeing his face, you are finally able to breathe a little easier.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'm about to die of exhaustion here... Thank god he's still breathing...
| |
| | |
| Exhausted from his heroic deed, Marius can't help but pant rapidly, trying to catch his breath.
| |
| | |
| He puts the kid down on the ground and you immediately rush over to check the kid's vitals.
| |
| | |
| Recalling your first aid training, you ensure nothing is obstructing his airways before performing CPR. The kid coughs out some water.
| |
| | |
| '''Boy:''' Bad... Villain...
| |
| | |
| He manages to spew out a few words before passing out again.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Still can't let it go, huh? What a stubborn kid...
| |
| | |
| Under your gaze, Marius finds himself a relatively clean place to sit down with his wet shirt stuck to his body.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's windy here. I'm going to get you two some dry clothes to wear. The ambulance is on its way.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Clothes? Where are you gonna get them around here?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' There's a new clothing shop just a few minutes away. Just wait here.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Here, buy them with my card.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Swiping your ultra-premium card in a regular clothing store?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You want me to draw attention and have a bunch of reporters taking wet-shirt pics of you, is that it?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Now that you've said it, it actually doesn't sound too bad.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' If you'll excuse me.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 2: Shopping Mall'''
| |
| | |
| You soon bought some clothes, but you weren't expecting to hear some gossips in the shop.
| |
| | |
| '''Shopping Clerk A:''' Look! Someone leaked something big last night regarding the Pax Group!
| |
| | |
| '''Shopping Clerk B:''' The Pax Group used hazardous plastic in children's tableware to cut down costs and is now shedding responsibilities to a scapegoat?
| |
| | |
| '''Shopping Clerk B:''' Why's a kid doing this video?
| |
| | |
| '''Shopping Clerk A:''' His father found out about it, and now the Pax Group blames him for it... The kid probably couldn't take it, so that's why he made this video.
| |
| | |
| '''Shopping Clerk A:''' The CEO of the Pax Group looks like a decent and dashing young man... Shame on him!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (That kid! He's the one in the video! What is going on here?)
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Don't tell me what they were saying is true...
| |
| | |
| '''[Black screen]'''
| |
| | |
| On your way back to Marius, you just can't stop thinking about what you've just heard.
| |
| | |
| You hurry back, eager to confront Marius about it.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 3: Park (River)'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Why the long face? Did the clerks treat you badly?
| |
| | |
| After putting a jacket on the kid, you turn to face Marius.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I have a few serious questions. I need you to answer them honestly.
| |
| | |
| You gently smooth down your skirt as you sit down beside him.
| |
| | |
| '''[CG]'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Of course. I'll never lie to you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Be serious. This is no joking matter.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Fine. Shoot.
| |
| | |
| He seems to have put on his serious face, looking straight into your eyes.
| |
| | |
| A droplet of water slides from his sideburns down his temple. Probably stimulated by the chill, he immediately sneezes.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...I heard something about Pax.
| |
| | |
| The paper bag holding the jacket for him is now a bit deformed in your grip.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That's not saying much. You better narrow it down.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Tableware. Hazardous plastic. Does that sound a bell?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Oh, that. That's what you wanted to ask me about?
| |
| | |
| The way he scoffs makes your temper flare.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Fortunately, no one fell ill. We have recalled the entire batch. Our PR will handle the subsequent matters.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I just signed and approved compensations to be given out last week.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...Aren't you leaving something out?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Not that I'm aware of. Why would I hide something like this from you?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Just watch this.
| |
| | |
| '''[No longer showing CG]'''
| |
| | |
| You take out your phone and play him that video.
| |
| | |
| He opens his mouth and is about to say something when he is abruptly interrupted by the sirens from the ambulance.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| With an ambulance here, busybodies gather.
| |
| | |
| '''???:''' Let me through! That's my boy!
| |
| | |
| A middle-aged man squeezes through the crowd and runs to the kid's side.
| |
| | |
| '''Middle-Aged Person:''' He's alright! He's alright! Thank the Lord for whoever saved my boy!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' He saved your boy.
| |
| | |
| You give Marius a pat on the shoulder.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' It's nothing. Anybody would've done it.
| |
| | |
| However, as soon as the man sees Marius, his face drastically changes.
| |
| | |
| '''Middle-Aged Person:''' Marius von Hagen!
| |
| | |
| '''Middle-Aged Person:''' You think I'll forget what you've done to me just because you saved my son? Never!
