| '''Scene 1: Scenic Villa'''
| | {{tab/header|Text: Tip of the Tongue}} |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' The air is great!
| | {{tab/header|Text: ?}} |
| | |
| You stretch and take a deep breath after getting out of Marius' car.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I picked a great location, right?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yeah! When you told me that you were taking me to pick a potted plant, I thought you meant we were going to the flower market!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That wouldn't be special enough now, would it?
| |
| | |
| A few days ago, Marius suddenly called you and asked if you wanted to go shopping in the outskirts of the city over the weekend.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 2: Flashback (Your Residence)'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' We're picking out a potted plant for me!?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That's right. Remember to leave both days of the weekend for me!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Did I ever say that I wanted a potted plant?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Of course. I remember it clearly. It was... last month!
| |
| | |
| Marius' firm tone makes you wonder if you'd really said that.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Okay. I saw on the news that Pax is participating in a bidding contest...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Aren't you busy with work and school?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Yeah, yeah. Sigh... I can only complete my nature painting assignment over the weekend.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'll do my nature painting assignment and take you potted plant picking... Two birds, one stone!
| |
| | |
| Marius added a little emphasis when he said "and."
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You work way too hard... Well, I'll see you over the weekend then.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 3: Present (Scenic Villa)'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Even so, did we have to come so far out just to pick a potted plant?
| |
| | |
| Marius smiles mysteriously, the sides of his mouth quirking upwards.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' If it was for someone else, I wouldn't have gone this far.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'd usually let my assistant handle it, which saves me the time and effort.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' But, you're different.
| |
| | |
| This isn't the way to the flower market, and he didn't say where we were going over the phone either...
| |
| | |
| Does Marius have a private garden here? You are a little confused.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Where are we going now?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' There will be someone here to take us...
| |
| | |
| Marius' phone vibrates violently, interrupting him.
| |
| | |
| Looking at his phone, he frowns.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' What's wrong?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I wanted to keep it a surprise.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... What surprise?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Have you ever seen the epiphyllum before?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' No... I've heard that they only bloom in the night and wither after a couple of hours, so it's hard to ever see one.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Otherwise, there wouldn't be a whole saying that revolves around the epiphyllum.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Are you asking me this... because there are epiphyllums here?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That's right!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That's not all. I was also planning on giving you one.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' !!!
| |
| | |
| Giving you one?
| |
| | |
| Marius continues before you can recover from the shock.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' My assistant just sent me a message, saying that the gardener recommends that I don't move the epiphyllum for 2 days at least.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Hmm? Why...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Because they are blooming today.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I initially wanted to give you a potted one to take home too...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' But, the gardener won't let me. It's not like I can force him to let me do it, right?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' That makes sense. Then, don't move it. We'll just look at it here.
| |
| | |
| As you say that, something flashes across your mind...
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 4: Flashback (Your Residence)'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That's right. Remember to leave both days of the weekend for me!
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 5: Present (Scenic Villa)'''
| |
| | |
| You never know what kind of mind games Marius will play on you...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You had me empty my schedule for two days. Were you planning this from the start?
| |
| | |
| {{tab/header|Story 2}} | |
| | |
| '''Scene 1: Scenic Villa'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You had me empty my schedule for two days. Were you planning this from the start?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Not exactly. No matter how much I plan, I really can't control when they bloom.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I just wanted to...
| |
| | |
| Marius suddenly pauses.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Wanted to...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Sigh... I wanted another day so that you could help me find my inspiration.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' You would have had a hard time refusing if you had accepted my epiphyllum.
| |
| | |
| It's not his style to use such a roundabout way to invite someone.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You can just ask me directly next time. If I'm free, I won't say no.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' So, what should we do now...?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' There's still some time before they bloom. Why don't we look around first?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'm counting on you to help me find my inspiration!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' How do we look for it? Is there anything you want to draw in particular?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Sigh... If I knew what I wanted to draw, then I wouldn't need inspiration.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' O-Oh, right...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Although, now that you've asked... there is something that I want to draw, but I can't say it or else I can't draw it.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Why? Could it avoid you on purpose?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Yeah, I might even be flat out rejected.
| |
| | |
| Marius surprisingly follows up on your joke.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I'm only joking. It's okay if you don't want to share. So, where should we go now?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' There is a picnic area to the right. Let's go left where the lotus pond is.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' The epiphyllums are growing near the villa. We can look at them when we return there tonight.
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 2: By the Lotus Pond'''
| |
| | |
| The trees beside the pond are so dense that the grass is hidden by their leaves and branches.
| |
| | |
| Sunlight trickles down through the leaves and shines on Marius, who is painting under the tree.
| |
| | |
| You squat by the lotus pond, looking at the lotuses swaying gently in the breeze.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' The scenery here is great!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Did you often come here to paint nature? You seem familiar with the area...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Not frequently. This garden is actually owned by my brother.
| |
| | |
| Your brother? So this garden belongs to Giann.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...
| |
| | |
| You don't know what to say about Giann, whose whereabouts are still unknown.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' This garden is very important to my brother and me.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' So, I take care of it whenever my brother cannot.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' After taking over the company, the work never ends, and things get increasingly complicated...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I didn't expect this place to be one of the places where I can actually relax.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Is that so... So the epiphyllums were planted by your brother?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Yes. But my brother didn't plant those for himself.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Eh?
| |
| | |
| You turn your head and inadvertently see the flickering sense of loss in his eyes.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' It was for our mother.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' So it was for Miss von Hagen...
| |
| | |
| Giann and Marius' mother was a remarkable woman who'd accomplished much in the field of music and painting.
| |
| | |
| Unfortunately, you heard that she'd died shortly after giving birth to Marius...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Sorry... I shouldn't have brought it up...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' It's okay. You don't need to apologize.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I've never met her, so I don't have a deep connection with her... unlike my brother.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' My brother remembers her hobbies, voice, and smile. He knew what a good mother she was.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I only know her from her paintings and the music scores she left behind.
| |
| | |
| Marius is different from his usual rebellious self.
| |
| | |
| The fact that he's willing to share...
| |
| | |
| Probably means that he's focused on painting... Or is it because he has no one else to talk to about these matters?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' That means... Miss von Hagen likes epiphyllums?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Yes. There's an ephiphyllum painting of my mother's hanging in the hallway of our old home.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Paintings can only convey so much information. But, the more vivid it is, the more memorable it will be.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That painting only had a single epiphyllum blooming quietly in the night.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I fell in love with it.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Fell in love?
| |
| | |
| It's rare for Marius to talk about his own family. You can't help but want to know more.
| |
| | |
| Marius glances at you a few times, but his paintbrush doesn't stop moving.
| |
| | |
| But now, with his paintbrush propped against his chin, he probably doesn't realize that he's smiling.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Often when painting, the painter will inadvertently put their own feelings into it.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I want to know what she was thinking when she saw that scene.
| |
| | |
| {{tab/header|Story 3}}
| |
| | |
| '''Scene 1: By the Lotus Pond'''
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Often when painting, the painter will inadvertently put their own feelings into it.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I want to know what she was thinking when she saw that scene.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Then... do you understand it now?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' No. I've seen it many times, but... I still don't understand.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' It might be the same scenery and the very same flower, but a different person will see something different.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' That's true...
| |
| | |
| Suddenly, a gust of wind blows across the lotus pond, making the leaves of the lotuses rustle loudly.
| |
| | |
| Your hair flutters around your cheeks and you subconsciously close your eyes until the wind passes.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' My hairband fell off.
| |
| | |
| You'd watched a tutorial to learn how to do this braid. It took you many tries to get it right...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (I probably went wrong somewhere... Sigh... I'll just let down my hair and figure it out when I get back.)
| |
| | |
| You give up trying to braid your hair, but Marius comes out from under the trees and takes it from your hand.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'll help you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Huh!?
| |
| | |
| Marius takes the pink hairband from your hands.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You're... done painting?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Yes. Thank you for helping me find my inspiration. How about I braid a new hairstyle for you?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Wait, stop!!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Just my usual hairstyle!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'm asking your opinion, no? Your usual? Got it. I'll be done in a jiffy.
| |
| | |
| Marius puts the sketchbook under his arm and moves behind you.
| |
| | |
| He gathers your hair in his hands, runs his fingers through the strands, gently combing it from top to bottom.
| |
| | |
| Stray hairs fall, tickling your ears. You shake your head to shift them aside.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Hmm? Don't move, I'll be quick.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Okay...
| |
| | |
| You listen to him and don't move an inch. You hope that time moves a little faster...
| |
| | |
| No. Maybe it should move a little slower instead...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Done?
| |
| | |
| Seeing Marius return to your field of vision, you touch the hairband.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's tied slightly different than before...
| |
| | |
| He'd also tied back the stray hair hanging by your face, giving you a refreshing look.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Your original hairstyle was pretty cute, but this suits you better.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Thank you. I know that people who can draw have dexterous hands, but I didn't think you'd know how to do a braid so well.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I can do simple braids, but I just can't do those complicated and beautiful braids...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Want me to teach you?
| |
| | |
| {{tab/start}}
| |
| {{tab/header|Choice: Please teach me}}
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I'm counting on you, teacher!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' But, this student of yours is clumsy. It won't be easy for you to teach me! You'll have to put in a little more effort!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Of course! I've always been a hands-on teacher. Results guaranteed!
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' But, it might take a lifetime if the student is too slow!
| |
| | |
| !!!
| |
| | |
| {{tab/header|Choice: I can't learn it}}
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' So, I might not be able to learn it even if you teach me...
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Sigh... I'll do it for you. I'll just braid it for you if you can't learn it.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Ah!? N-No need. I don't want to trouble you.
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Trouble me? Then, I'll require a teaching fee. How about... you be my model?
| |
| | |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That's acceptable for you, right?
| |
|
| |
|
| {{tab/end}} | | {{tab/end}} |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (That question is over the top. I refuse to answer...)
| |
|
| |
| Were you just imagining it earlier when Marius was being all gentle and thoughtful?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'm just teaching you how to braid your hair. Why are you making it seem as if it's a life or death matter?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's about the same...
| |
|
| |
| You mumble under your breath.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I couldn't hear you. Are you embarrassed to accept my offer?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Of course not...!
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Then... how about you give me an answer?
| |
|
| |
| Marius blinks, showing you his familiar innocent puppy eyes.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (That look... why do I keep falling for it!?)
| |
|
| |
| Just as you are about to answer Marius...
| |
|
| |
| [[File:Marius "Twilight Beauty" CG1.jpg|300px|right]]
| |
|
| |
| Some pages fall out from the sketchbook under Marius' arm.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Marius! Your painting fell! I-I'll get it.
| |
|
| |
| Relieved that you don't have to answer his questions, you bend down to pick up the painting.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Don't worry! I'll get it myself!
| |
|
| |
| For some reason, the calm Marius suddenly becomes unusually flustered.
| |
|
| |
| We reach for the painting at the same time...
| |
|
| |
| The moment our fingertips touch the sheet of paper, another gust of wind blows past and carries it into the air.
| |
|
| |
| Wait! Was that a painting of... you?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (A-Am I seeing things...?)
| |
|
| |
| You subconsciously chase after it...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' (Name)! Don't chase it!
| |
|
| |
| You suddenly hear Marius' panicked voice.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Watch out! The lotus pond!
| |
|
| |
| You stop just in time to realize that you were only a step away from falling into the water...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Sorry, I was caught in the heat of the moment...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' But, was that me in the painting?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Y-You saw?
| |
|
| |
| [[File:Marius "Twilight Beauty" CG2.jpg|300px|right]]
| |
|
| |
| Marius' eyes are erratic.
| |
|
| |
| He holsd the other sketches closer to his body.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (Could there be more than one...?)
| |
|
| |
| You speculate something...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Marius, there's another one behind you!
| |
|
| |
| Marius subconsciously turns around. You seize this opportunity to steal the sketchbook from his arms!
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' You...!
| |
|
| |
| {{tab/header|Story 4}}
| |
|
| |
| '''Scene 1: By the Lotus Pond'''
| |
|
| |
| Having confirmed your speculation, you close the sketchbook.
| |
|
| |
| This sketchbook is full of sketches of you...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' (He used painting nature as an excuse to show me the epiphyllum?)
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I don't recall nature paintings ever requiring a model.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Are you unhappy? Is it because I didn't draw them well enough?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's good... No, wait, that's not the point!
| |
|
| |
| He nearly changed the subject.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Have you been drawing me? What about your homework?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' At first, I was painting the lotus pond...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' But then, I saw your hairstyle and started thinking of ones that suited you more. So, I ended up drawing some.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' What about the painting of the lotus pond?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Sigh... The wind blew it away.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Then, you have to draw it again? What are you going to do...?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That's not necessary.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Those paintings are already engraved in my memory. I'll just draw them again when we return.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'm done with my explanation. Can you... give the paintings back to me now?
| |
|
| |
| He didn't ask for your consent to let yourself be drawn. You should teach him a lesson!
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yeah... nope.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' !!!
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You didn't ask for my consent, infringing on my rights. I have the right to these paintings.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Confiscated!
| |
|
| |
| Marius glares at you for a moment before letting out an exaggerated sigh...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Okay, okay. I'll be a good boy for you and turn over a new leaf.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Next time you want to paint me, you don't need to do it behind my back.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Here.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Weren't you confiscating them? So, why are you...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You're not going to use it for anything anyway. Painting a few portraits of me doesn't constitute infringement.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Besides, nobody will ask you to paint me, right?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I wouldn't sell it anyways.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' That's more like it.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Okay. Where to next?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' It's getting late. Are you... not hungry?
| |
|
| |
| Hearing Marius' words, you suddenly realize that it's already evening.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' I've been talking with you that I didn't notice...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Let's go back. Dinner is prepared for us. We can watch the epiphyllum bloom after we're done eating.
| |
|
| |
| '''Scene 2: Garden'''
| |
|
| |
| With the full moon high in the dark night sky, the garden is bathed in the soft light.
| |
|
| |
| You and Marius sit side-by-side on a long wooden bench. Before the two of you are some epiphyllums that are beginning to bloom.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Your brother must have taken good care of these flowers. The epiphyllums are growing pretty well.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ...Are you sure you can just give it to me like that? Did your brother... agree?
| |
|
| |
| Immersed in the joy of seeing epiphyllums for the first time, you only just realize the problem.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I would never tell a lie.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I planted the one I gave you.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You planted it yourself?
| |

| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Yes. During my first visit here, I plucked one of the leaves.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' My brother found out about it in the end. Even though he didn't say anything, I could tell he was hurt.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' He cared for it with all his heart...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Yeah, I ended up planting the leaf in a flowerpot.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' See? That one over there.
| |
|
| |
| You look in the direction Marius is pointing to see a smaller epiphyllum growing in the distance.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's growing well!
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' It's only alive because I took great care of it.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Now, can you accept it with a peace of mind?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Yup! I will take good care of it!
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' But...
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' What is it? What other concerns do you have?
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' It's a shame that your brother isn't able to see how well his epiphyllums are growing!
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Hey!
| |
|
| |
| Marius gently pats the top of your head with his sketchbook.
| |
|
| |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' What are you doing?
