Script
Dilly Block
You: That staff member was so unreasonable.
Even though you're already a few streets away from the film wax museum, you still can't let go of what happened.
You thought you could experience the charm of classic movie scenes with Artem at the wax museum...
However... The truth is that you two were refused entry, and the staff member even rudely called you "nosy tourists."
Artem: We already explained everything to the local police.
Artem: It's up to the authorities now. Don't let this matter eat at you.
You: Right. I shouldn't let someone like that ruin my mood!
Artem reaches out and brushes aside your bangs with a faint smile on his face.
Artem: Oh, did you want to watch the nighttime street concert at Dilly Plaza?
You: Eh? ...Can we make it...?
Earlier, you were looking forward to the street concert when the tour guide was talking about how much of a spectacle they were.
But you gave up on the idea after considering
Artem: Now that we're not going to the wax museum anymore... We have an extra hour of free time.
Artem: The timing is just right to go to the concert now.
Artem's voice slowly drifts into your ears with the night breeze, arousing the curiosity in your heart once again.
You: I want to go!
Artem: Okay. I'll hail a taxi.
"My beautiful love, please look at me."
"Don't let go. Become music and follow the galaxy of time to find me."
You: The music's lovely.
The melodies of the singers on stage flow like a river graced by a starry spring night, quietly lingering in the air.
Artem: This is "Nocturne of a Starry River," a popular song that was adapted from a Lombardian folk song.
The concert has no emcee, so the singers improvise their songs and interactions with the audience.
Artem acts as your guide and quietly whispers commentary from your side.
You: I thought they'd pick faster songs for an outdoor concert, but most of them have been romantic ballads.
Artem: This performance's theme is "heaven and love." Most of the songs have been Lombardian folk songs.
Artem: The locals revere the beauty of nature, so they prefer to sing unaccompanied.
You: Hmm... This kind of improv requires a lot of skill to pull off.
You: The singers are all in tune, like walking music players.
You two converse in whispers as winds of marvelous song blow your worries away.
You are immersed in the songs until the end of the show. The day's troubles have all but been forgotten.
Artem: Feeling better now?
You: For sure! I'm in a great mood after hearing that amazing concert.
Artem: That's good... I want you to enjoy a perfect trip.
Artem: That's why I don't want what happened earlier today to leave you with any regrets.
You: I don't have any regrets. On the contrary... I feel very lucky.
You: If we hadn't missed the wax museum, then we wouldn't have been able to watch that wonderful concert.
You: This is a "blessing in disguise"? No, "turning lemons into lemonade"!
Artem: You...
Artem is amused by your words. His eyebrows arch up, and his eyes seem more animated than usual.
Artem: In that case, then I feel like today was... a "gift from God."
You: Oh, why's that?
Artem: Whether it's an exhibit or a concert, the most important thing for me is... that I'm going there with you.
Artem: Now that my wish has been fulfilled, isn't it like a "dream come true"?
You didn't know that Artem could chat so casually. Away from the intense environment at work...
Out here on vacation, it feels like he is subconsciously showing you more of his real self.
You: Yeah, that makes sense.
You: I have a little bit of regret.
Artem: ...
You: Mr. Wing, you've always loved movies. I feel bad that we couldn't see the wax exhibit...
Artem: I don't feel bad.
Artem: I enjoy the process of seeing the exhibition with you, not necessarily the exhibition itself.
Artem: And if you ask me, it's been an enjoyable journey.
Artem: So, I have no regrets. In fact, I feel... satisfied.
Artem smiles at you. You can see the kindness on his face and feel the sincerity in his words.
Touched by his words, the final remnants of regret in your heart vanish.
You: I'm also really satisfied.
Artem: It's getting late. We should head back.
Artem: We're going to Kylos tomorrow, so we should get a good night's sleep.
Kylos is famous for its food. Hundreds of local snacks and delicacies attract countless tourists to the city.
You: I have my food bucket list ready!
Artem: I looked into some of the finer specialty restaurants. After we arrive, we can explore the city and try out the food.
You: Okay. I trust your choices!
You and him chat the entire way back.
Under the moonlight, the road ahead seems to stretch on infinitely, leading your journey to an unknown tomorrow.
