After Story
Marius: After waiting for such a long time, we can finally meet again.
Intimate Interaction
(After Marius woke from the illusion, we were back at Weiming Mountain.)
(From the flooring to the furniture, both of us decorated the courtyard together, gradually restoring it to the old courtyard we used to live in.)
(As the seasons go by, we have witnessed the moon on the cliff and the snow in the heart of the lake. We have also wished upon the stars, praying that every year would be as smooth as the current one.)
You: (Marius' fringe seems to be covering his eyes. Should I sweep it aside for him?)
Marius: What's wrong? You kept staring at me. Are you thinking about how I'm so charming and good-looking?
You: Wha-what are you saying? I was just about to tell you that your fringe is blocking your eyes.
Marius: Oh? How about sweeping it to one side for me? Now that you mention it, it really is tickling my eyes...
(if repeated)
You: (My heart skips a beat whenever I look into his eyes, for some reason.)
You: There are so many buttons. Isn't it bothersome for you to remove them one by one?
Marius: Well, you can try removing them if you want to know whether they are bothersome or not.
You: (Oops! Why did I say that out loud!?)
(if repeated)
You: (Why can't I just take my eyes off his chest...?)
Mysterious scroll painting...
You: Ma-Marius, where did you find this painting? I remember hiding it.
Marius: Hide it? Do you mean storing it with my other beautiful paintings inside the cabinet of the art room?
Marius: Uhh, I guess someone did a bad job of hiding it. It fell out and hit my head along with the other paintings the moment I opened the cabinet. My head still hurts now.
You: (In the painting spirit's illusion, I had painted many portraits of Marius, but I only brought this painting out from the illusion.)
You: (Till now, I still don't have the courage to give it to him.)
Marius: What's with that expression? Could it be that there's a secret behind this painting?
Marius: Who would have thought that you have learned to do such indecent paintings after three years?
You: Wait, hold on. This is not what you think it is.
Marius: No? Then why are you blushing?
Marius: In that case, that's all the more reason for me to see it. I want to know what you've painted.
You: Wait! You...
You: (And Marius rolls the painting open...)
Marius: Is this...?
Marius: Isn't this a portrait of me? No wonder you're so secretive about it. You must be feeling embarrassed.
You: ...
Marius: But, when did you paint this? I remember you haven't been painting for a long time. Unless...
You: Yes. I painted it in the illusion.
Marius: I see. That's why you hid it from me that time. It's because... And here I thought...
You: What did you think it was?
Marius: Nothing. Since you have given it to me, I'll take that as a promise between us.
Marius: From now on, you can never leave me again.
You: Yes, I will never leave you. I promised you, and I will keep my word.
