Script
Street
The legal assistance case that you and Artem were working on today in the Orchidshine District ended smoothly.
You're in a great mood after a busy day of work, so you can't help but start daydreaming about your upcoming vacation.
You: Mr. Wing, Celestine said that she'd give us time off after we finished this case...
You: Have you thought about how you're going to spend your vacation?
Artem: Not really. You?
You: ...I'll probably spend a few days enjoying someplace with a nice view.
Artem: Are you... going by yourself?
You: Yeah, because Evelyn, my friend who works at a geographic magazine publishing house, is asking for my help again...
You: She wants me to take pictures of "the most magnificent sights" during my vacation.
Artem: Where do you want to travel? Any ideas?
You: I've given it some thought, but... I haven't decided yet.
You: Oh, do you have any recommendations, Mr. Wing?
Artem falls silent. He seems to be thinking seriously about your question.
Artem: I recommend Lombardia. Its cultural landmarks and natural scenery are remarkable.
Artem: They also recently opened a travel train route that takes you to popular tourist destinations.
Artem: If you want to travel, Lombardia is an excellent choice.
You: Huh...
Artem: What is it? Did I say something wrong?
Not wrong, but way too coincidental.
You were already interested in Lombardia when you were looking at travel guides, but you were still undecided...
You didn't expect Artem to recommend the same place. Is this the work of the Fates?
Artem: Of course, it's only a suggestion. The important thing is that you choose somewhere you like—
You: I do like it! Lombardia it is!!!
You: If it's your suggestion, it can't be bad.
Artem: ...Why don't we go together?
You: Huh?
Artem: I just think... it would be difficult for you to take pictures by yourself.
Artem: Besides, it might be better to have a travel partner...
You: Perfect. I was just about to ask if you wanted to go with me.
You: Then it's decided, okay?
Artem: Okay. I'll have a look at the travel route when I get home tonight.
Artem smiles. His sparkling eyes momentarily daze you.
You two soon have the itinerary planned and flights booked. Together, you and him embark on a journey to Lombardia.
City Rail Station
You: It's so warm and sunny! What a perfect day for our trip.
Sunlight streams in through the ceiling's glass panels, providing warmth to the station's passengers.
Standing inside and looking around a station situated by Lombardia's border...
It feels like you've stepped through time into the previous century, away from the hustle and bustle of modern cities.
Artem: [Player], the gate might get busy later. Let's ready our tickets beforehand.
You: Got them.
You wave the train tickets in your hand to show that they're ready to go.
Artem: The train is almost here. Let's go wait on the platform.
Artem: The seats I booked are right by the windows. You can enjoy the sights along the way.
You: Great! I can take some videos to show Evelyn.
Artem: We'll pass a flower field before the first stop. It should make for a good view.
In minute detail, Artem goes on to describe the scenery you will see along the way, as well as some photo-worthy locales...
His descriptions are so detailed that it sounds as though he has personally seen those sights.
You: Mr. Wing, have you been there before?
Artem: No... This is also my first time.
You: What?! But your descriptions were so detailed...
Artem: I looked them up while assembling a travel guide.
You did all this research online to make a guide?!
How many resources did he go through to look up all this stuff?!
You: Mr. Wing, you're incredible!
Artem: I... wanted to be well-prepared so you would feel more comfortable.
You: Well, I always feel really comfortable traveling with you.
Artem: ...That's good.
Artem's eyes light up. He appears to be in high spirits after hearing your reply.
Artem: Oh, where do you want to go after we arrive in the city of Lombard?
Artem: I had reserved tickets for an opera because I thought we could watch it together...
Artem: But after looking at travel guides, I found out that the central plaza hosts popular street performances.
Artem: So, I thought... it would be best to let you decide.
You: Hmm...
The opera would be fantastic, but a street performance sounds really unique.
Both are excellent options... Which one will you choose?
You: Let's watch the opera. It'd be a shame to not use the tickets you bought.
You: If there's time after the opera, we can walk around town and see if there are other street performances going on.
Artem: Then let's follow the original plan and watch the opera first.
You: Okay.
Artem: I'm looking forward to our trip.
You: Yes, me too!
You: I want to see the street performance, but... wouldn't that be a waste of your hard-won tickets?
Artem: No problem. They're refundable. You don't need to worry.
You: Thanks, Mr. Wing. I hope it's not too much trouble...
Artem: ...No need for stress. We're here on vacation, so we should do what we want to.
You: Mr. Wing...
Artem: Let's go. The train's almost here. I'm looking forward to our trip.
*choo* The sound of a train whistle draws the attention of all the travelers on the platform.
You: It's here. Let's go, Mr. Wing!
Maybe because of the excitement in your voice, Artem also cracks a smile.
Artem: Okay.
