| '''Scene 1: Scenic Villa''' | | |story1Summary=Marius takes the main character to the outskirts of the city to pick out a potted plant for her and complete a nature painting assignment. When the two arrive at a natural area near a villa, Marius reveals they'll be seeing an epiphyllum in bloom, saying that he wanted to give her one but the gardener won't allow it. |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' The air is great!
| | |story2Summary=Marius discusses finding inspiration for his nature painting before the flowers bloom that night, and the two sit by a lotus pond and speak of Marius' brother Giann, who owns the villa, and of Marius' mother. |
|
| |
|
| You stretch and take a deep breath after getting out of Marius' car.
| | |story3Summary=A gust of wind disturbs the MC's hair, and Marius, having finished his painting, fixes it for her. However, his painting falls out of his sketchbook, and the MC notices the painting is of her as she chases it. Suspecting there are more, the MC distracts Marius and steals his sketchbook. |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I picked a great location, right?
| | |story4Summary=Finding the sketchbook is full of sketches of her, the MC chastises Marius for ignoring his homework. The two head back to the villa and have dinner, then settle in to watch the epiphyllums bloom. Marius points out the one he wants to give her, which is smaller and planted by him. |
|
| |
|
| '''[[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!
| | |story5Summary=The MC grows tired, and Marius encourages her to nap on him until the flowers bloom. When they bloom, the MC is awakened and is awestruck by the sight and scent of the scene. |
|
| |
|
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' That wouldn't be special enough now, would it?
| | |story6Summary=Marius offers to paint the epiphyllums to preserve the moment for the MC forever; the MC declines, encouraging Marius to enjoy the moment instead. A week later, her potted epiphyllum is delivered to her home, along with a bloom preserved in amber. |
|
| |
|
| 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.

| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Of course. I remember it clearly. It was... last month!
| | {{SL|Marius|What did you think of the portrait last time?}} |
| | | {{SC |
| Marius' firm tone makes you wonder if you'd really said that.
| | |choice1=A portrait of me |
| | | |script1={{SL|You|You mean the ones you secretly drew of me?!}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Okay. I saw on the news that Pax is participating in a bidding contest...
| | {{SL|Marius|That sounded weird...}} |

| | |choice2=What portrait |
| | | |script2={{SL|You|Erm... which portraits are you talking about?}} |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Yeah, yeah. Sigh... I can only complete my nature painting assignment over the weekend.
| | {{SL|Marius|You forgot already?}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|The ones in the sketchbook!}}}} |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'll do my nature painting assignment and take you potted plant picking... Two birds, one stone!
| | {{SL|Marius|So do you like them?}} |
| | | {{SC |
| Marius added a little emphasis when he said "and." | | |choice1=It's ok |
| | | |script1={{SL|You|They're ok!}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' You work way too hard... Well, I'll see you over the weekend then.
| | {{SL|You|Though you didn't have my consent, they're ok.}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|Just "ok"?}} |
| '''Scene 3: Present (Scenic Villa)'''
| | {{SL|Marius|Miss, your words wound me...}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|That won't do! I must make it right.}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Even so, did we have to come so far out just to pick a potted plant? | | |choice2=Of course |
| | | |script2={{SL|You|Of course, oh great Marius.}} |
| Marius smiles mysteriously, the sides of his mouth quirking upwards.
| | {{SL|You|Of course! You drew me so well.}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|Really? I'm happy that you like it.}} |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' If it was for someone else, I wouldn't have gone this far.
| | {{SL|Marius|Since you like it, why don't you do me another favor?}}}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|The next assignment requires the drawing of a person. Why don't you come be my model for the weekend?}} |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I'd usually let my assistant handle it, which saves me the time and effort.
| | {{SC |
| | | |choice1=I want to, but... |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' But, you're different.
| | |script1={{SL|You|I can... but don't you have professional models for that?}} |
| | | {{SL|You|I've never modeled before, so I might not be able to be as expressive as the others.}} |
| This isn't the way to the flower market, and he didn't say where we were going over the phone either...
| | {{SL|Marius|Don't worry. Leave the expressiveness to me.}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|You just need to be here.}} |
| Does Marius have a private garden here? You are a little confused.
| | {{SL|Marius|Then I take it that you've agreed?}} |
| | | |choice2=You have plenty of models |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' Where are we going now?
| | |script2={{SL|You|You aren't able to find a model for it?}} |
| | | {{SL|You|Your artworks are highly sought after. Which girl would turn down chance to model for you?}} |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' There will be someone here to take us...
| | {{SL|Marius|That means, you won't turn me down then, right?}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|I'll take that as a yes then. You don't get to change your mind!}}}} |
| Marius' phone vibrates violently, interrupting him. | | {{SL|Marius|In return, I'll agree to any request you make. Is there anything you want?}} |
| | | {{SC |
| Looking at his phone, he frowns.
| | |choice1=I want a painting |
| | | |script1={{SL|You|I want one of your paintings.}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' What's wrong?
| | {{SL|You|You said anything, so you don't get to refuse!}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|Of course.}} |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' I wanted to keep it a surprise.
| | {{SL|Marius|You can have as many as you'd like.}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|You are my source of inspiration after all!}} |
| '''[[Main Character|You]]:''' ... What surprise?
| | |choice2=I want a big meal |
| | | |script2={{SL|You|Take me out for a big meal.}} |
| '''[[Marius von Hagen|Marius]]:''' Have you ever seen the epiphyllum before?
| | {{SL|You|My meals are covered if I model for the whole day, right?}} |
| | | {{SL|Marius|Of course, you are my source of inspiration.}} |
| '''[[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.
| | {{SL|Marius|I'll pick you up over the weekend. Then, we can go wherever you want to eat.}} |
| | | }} |
| '''[[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}}
| |
| | |
| '''[[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...!
| |

| | |
| '''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?
