Script
Pouille Plaza
You've been thinking about Jennie so much that you haven't planned much for today's schedule.
After enjoying the nice spring view by Pouille Lake, you and Vyn arrive at the Creative Food Festival.
You: I wonder where Jennie's stall is...
Vyn: It doesn't seem to be around here. Let's go inside.
You: There are a lot of stalls further in. Let's go and have a look.
Tourists who come here for delicious food have started to gather. You and Vyn walk around to look for her...
You: Oh, there she is!
Same as when you first met, Jennie's stall is still in a relatively quiet corner.
But the difference is... This time, her stall is surrounded by many people who are talking about something.
Resident A: She calls this cheese?
Jennie Fiscella: ...Please try it before you decide whether it's cheese or not.
Resident B: Oh my gosh. Stop kidding me. I'm not going to try this weird cheese!
Resident A: Yeah. This shouldn't appear at our food festival!
Jennie Fiscella: ...
You: (It's a bit mean to say that!)
You can't stand it anymore so you walk up and interrupt them.
You: This is the Creative Food Festival. The new style of cheese she makes completely matches the festival theme.
Local Resident: Gosh, you don't understand the beauty of cheese. That's why you think it's delicious!
You: Could you be a little more specific about your objections?
Local Resident: Our Barosk cheese is made through a process that involves hand steaming, concentration, and fermentation!
Local Resident: It goes perfectly with food or with wine.
Local Resident: Look at what she made... so gooey... It's nothing like cheese.
You: But... there are many kinds of cheese and they all have different characteristics.
You: The one Jennie made is more of a sweet style. It goes well with dessert.
Local Resident: Just as you said, it's dessert, it can't be called cheese! Why does she have to call it cheese?
Jennie Fiscella: My cheese is not just for dessert. It can also be made into other things.
Local Resident: No cheese should go with fruit or chocolate!
You: I think people need to be a little more open-minded around here...
You: Many places outside of Barosk make cheese desserts, for example...
Local Resident: I'm not going to live abroad, so I don't care what you outlanders think!
The hardheadedness somehow draws similar echoes from the people around.
Why don't people here accept things that seem very normal to you?
You: (I guess changing their mind is not so easy.)
Local Resident: Oh my God. I can't believe I wasted so much time here.
Local Resident: Anyway, you won't understand. I'll go have tea with my friend Maggie!
The debate is meaningless. It ended with one side's departure.
But the tourists who were keen to try the cheese desserts are now hesitant because of what happened...
Now there's only you and Vyn in front of Jennie's stall.
Jennie Fiscella: ...
You: Don't lose heart. We...
You want to comfort her but you don't know-how.
If she needs legal assistance, you'd do everything in your power to help.
But changing people's traditional values is not something a lawyer... or anyone can achieve easily.
Vyn: Ms. Fiscella, I can understand how you feel... but if you give up now, it'll be all over.
Vyn: You must be feeling disappointed and frustrated and even want to give up.
Jennie gives no reply, but from the disappointment in her eyes, you feel that Vyn has spoken her mind.
Vyn: Of course, you can decide to give up, which would be easy.
Vyn: But it also means that all your previous efforts will be for nothing
Vyn: Ms. Fiscella, do you want to end everything here?
Jennie Fiscella: No. of course I don't!
Jennie Fiscella: But... what can I do?
Vyn: I can help you.
Jennie Fiscella: Oh?
Vyn: I have a friend who's a cheese dealer, he lives near Bergandi. If you want... I can refer you to him.
Vyn: He is someone who likes to try new things. I think he would be able to help you.
You: (Dr. Richter's friend? Although I haven't heard about this before... but Vyn wouldn't lie.)
Vyn: What do you think? Will you trust me this one time?
Jennie bites her lips and nods.
Vyn: Then, please join us for the rest of our journey.
Vyn: Our train will arrive in Bergandi tomorrow.
Vyn: I will contact my friend in advance and make sure you get to meet him tomorrow.
Jennie Fiscella: Thank you for your invitation. But... I need to do some preparations. I'll see you at Bergandi tomorrow.
You: Okay. Jennie, then please give us your contact details.
Jennie Fiscella: Sure.
After exchanging your contacts, Jennie says goodbye to you. Seeing her leave, you say a prayer in your heart...
You: (I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow.)
