Script
After talking with Jessie Ingram, meet up with Vyn.
After parting ways with Jessie, you hurry out of the theater.
With her words still echoing in your mind, you are getting even more eager to find Vyn.
At the entrance of the theater, almost all of the audience has left. There is no one here except the cleaning staff.
You: (Where is Vyn?)
Looking around, all you see is pedestrians rushing by, blocking your line of sight.
You: (Is Vyn not here?)
You: (Where did he go?)
You: (Vyn...)
You suddenly feel lost and confused.
You: (I should give him a call first.)
But after taking out your phone in a hurry and tapping the screen several times, you realize it's not responding.
You: (No battery?)
You: (What timing! Just when I need it the most! That portable charger is somewhere...)
You: (Oh no, I didn't bring it with me today!)
As the number of mishaps builds up, so does the level of anxiety in your chest.
Your hands begin to shake, and you accidentally drop your phone to the ground.
The sound of your phone hitting the ground actually calms you down.
You: (No, now is not the time to panic...)
You: (Panicking doesn't solve anything. I need to think this through carefully...)
You: (Maybe Vyn returned to the psychology center?)
As soon as you think of the psychology center, your mind races. You feel like you're drowning, searching for a piece of driftwood to latch on to.
You: (It is not like him to leave without telling someone. Something must have happened...)
You: (I should go to the psychology center to take a look. Maybe I can find a clue there. If not... at least I'll be able to charge my phone.)
You: (Maybe Vyn had something to do. I'll wait here for a while longer...)
You wait for a while, but there is still no sign of Vyn, and you become even more anxious.
You: (After all this waiting, Vyn should be back by now even if something happened...)
You: (Did something happen to him? Maybe the psychology center...)
As soon as you think of the psychology center, your mind races. You feel like you're drowning, searching for a piece of driftwood to latch on to.
You: (It is not like him to leave without telling someone. Something must have happened...)
You: (I should go to the psychology center to take a look. Maybe I can find a clue there...)
Go to the psychology center to find Vyn.
You rush to the psychology center. Your anxiety quickens your pace, and you're out of breath when you arrive.
Front Desk Nurse: Miss. [Player], you're sweating buckets!
You: Is Vyn here?
Front Desk Nurse: Dr. Richter came back to get something but he left in a hurry right after that...
You: So he really did come back. Did he say where he was going?
Front Desk Nurse: He said he needed to take care of some family business, then he left.
Front Desk Nurse: Miss [Player], didn't you go home with him? I thought Dr. Richter was in a hurry to see...
The nurse seems to have more to say, but you don't have it in you to stay and listen.
You: Thank you. I'd better go!
Front Desk Nurse: Oh? Okay! I hope everything's alright!
Vyn's living room
Go to Vyn's residence as the nurse said.
After leaving the Psychology Center, you go to Vyn's residence as quickly as you can.
You: Vyn!
Vyn turns around and sees you. He looks unusually surprised and is holding an exquisite wooden box in his hand.
Vyn: [Player]!? You...
You: I've been looking everywhere for you since I lost you after I exited the backstage area...
You: ...
Suddenly, you begin to realize that your back is a little numb... you don't know if it's due to anxiety or fear.
Vyn: Did I scare you? I am sorry.
Vyn sits you down on the couch and pours you a hot cup of tea.
Sensing his presence, you finally begin to feel more at ease.
Vyn: I sent you a text message saying I would come back here first and asked you to come to my place.
You: Text message?
You reach out for your phone instinctively. You swipe the screen but it is completely black.
A few seconds later, you realize that your phone ran out of battery when you were at the theater.
You: My battery died so I didn't see it...
Vyn: I am sorry for worrying you.
You: No. I overreacted.
When you've finally calmed down a bit, you see the worried look on Vyn's face, and a question begins to emerge in your mind.
You: Why did you come back here on your own? Did something urgent come up?
Vyn: I...
A rare look of embarrassment appears on his face.
Vyn: I was preparing this for you.
He hands you the wooden box in his hands.
It is a beautiful box made of rosewood. It shines with a faint luster under the warm light.
There is a beautiful rose intricately carved on the lid.
You: This is...
Vyn: You said you needed a jewelry box for your brooch. So I made this for you.
Vyn: It just... took a lot longer than I imagined.
You: Vyn...
It was only a trivial matter you mentioned when chatting with Vyn the other day, yet he actually remembered it.
Vyn: I was going to surprise you when it was done...
Vyn: But sometimes, plans are made to be changed.
You: Although there were a few surprises along the way, I am still very touched.
You: This jewelry box is beautiful. I love it.
You: Thank you, Vyn.
When you take the box from Vyn and try to get a closer look at it, he gently grabs you by your wrist.
You: Hmm?
He guides your hand to put the box aside. Then, he sits next to you and studies you carefully.
He places his fingertips on your wrist to feel your pulse. It feels like a feather gently landing on your heart.
It tickles, but the sensation isn't unpleasant.
You stare into his eyes. There are emotions in his golden pupils that you can't comprehend.
Vyn: [Player], your heart is still beating quite quickly.
Vyn: Tell me, why are you so nervous?
His voice is gentle, like a spell that you can't resist.
You: I...
Vyn: Did Jessie say something to you?
He's not pressing hard, but you can feel a sense of unease in his touch.
It feels as though... Vyn is nervous and worried about something.
You: Not really. Ms. Ingram just gave me two tickets to Pygmalion and invited us to watch it.
Vyn: Is that all? You...
He studies you with his golden eyes, trying to look for something.
You: (Vyn is usually so calm and collected... He's acting weird today.)
You are once again reminded of the empathy and anxiety that Jessie spoke of.
You: (What is he so worried about? Is it Jessie's condition or...)
Seeing Vyn remain silent, Jessie's words echo in your mind once again...
Should you tell him the truth?
You: (We should be honest with each other in a relationship, especially when it's about him.)
You: (No matter what, I should tell Vyn.)
You: Actually, Jessie said she's worried about you...
You: She thinks you've been acting strange.
Vyn: Strange?
He frowns and looks away for a moment.
That moment was so brief that you're unsure whether it was just an illusion.
Vyn: What about you? What do you think?
You: (That's just Jessie's personal opinion. If I tell him now, it could potentially affect her treatment later on.)
You: (I'd better not say anything for now and keep observing for a little longer.)
You: (I must have faith in my relationship with Vyn.)
You: That's all.
You: What do you think she told me?
You try to lighten up the atmosphere by making a joke.
He frowns and looks away for a moment.
That moment was so brief that you're unsure whether it was just an illusion.
Vyn: I am sorry. I did not mean to pry.
Vyn: As Jessie's psychologist, I just want to get a better understanding of her mental condition.
You: I understand.
Lately, everything with Jessie has been like a heavy rock weighing on your heart.
You know that the burden must be even heavier for Vyn.
Without saying anything, you lean towards Vyn and rest your forehead against his.
Wisps of hair hang from Vyn's forehead, blocking his eyes and making it impossible for you to guess his thoughts.
You: I think you can also rely on me sometimes.
You: You've always been by my side, comforting me when I'm upset.
You: But in fact...
Vyn: In fact... what?
Vyn raises his hand to gently touch your cheek.
His fingertips are cold to the touch, making you shiver.
You: But in fact, you get tired sometimes too, don't you?
You: So, this time, let me be the listener.
Upon hearing what you said, Vyn reveals a gentle smile full of relief and appreciation.
The vibration it caused transmits through your contact with each other.
Vyn: You mean, even if I have stories that I do not know how to tell you?
Vyn: Even if I am not the person you think I am?
Vyn's eyelashes quiver like butterfly wings. His thin lips move slightly as if he's about to say something.
But eventually, after a brief moment of hesitation, he chooses to maintain his silence and wait for your answer instead.
You: You are who you are. I like the Vyn that I see.
Maybe there's something you don't want to tell me now. Maybe you are too accustomed to hiding yourself.
It doesn't matter, because...
You: I will always be by your side, I'll always be with you.
Vyn: [Player], you...
You: So, please don't run away on your own next time.
You murmur softly, still anxious from the events earlier.
You: Vyn, no matter where you go in the future, let me come with you, okay?
Vyn lets out a gentle sigh and brushes your cheek with his fingertips, which seems to be an apologetic gesture.
Vyn: Sorry, I have been busy with Jessie's case lately, which delayed my progress on the jewelry box...
Vyn: I was going to surprise you after I finished it. I did not mean to scare you.
Vyn: It is my fault.
Vyn: I promise you, this kind of "accident" will never happen again.
You close your eyes and feel his touch.
Every time he touches you, your heart trembles.
Vyn: It is just that, the box is not quite done yet, it is not perfect enough...
His voice sounds a little apologetic, and it carries some emotions you can't understand.
You: That's not true!
You: I think it is perfect.
You: I'm never unsatisfied with anything you give me.
For some reason, looking at Vyn as he's confused leads to a strong sense of intuition appearing in your heart.
You want Vyn to understand the way you feel and trust in your words.
You: I love it because you made it for me personally... It's such a special and perfect gift.
You look into Vyn's eyes, hoping that he'll feel the sincerity in your eyes.
Vyn: I am glad you like it...
He seems a bit restless, but his doubts and anxieties have vanished.
Instead, he opens his arms to you.
He wraps his arms around you and gently rests his palm behind your head. It gives you a great sense of security.
Vyn: I wanted it to be perfect because I want you to like it.
Vyn: But as long as you like it, it is already perfect.
Vyn: What is the definition of "perfect" anyway?
Then, he starts talking to you in a way that also sounds like he is whispering to himself.
Vyn: You are always like this. You always make me doubt things I am so sure of.
You: For me, being with you every day is perfect.
You press your head into Vyn's embrace, trying to hear whether his heartbeat has synced with yours.
You: By the way, do you want to see another ballet performance?
You: This time, I'll take your hand and leave with you after the show.
Vyn: ...
Vyn: With you by my side, maybe I should not be afraid anymore...
His voice echoes heavily in your ears. Surrounded by Vyn's presence, you missed some of his words.
You: What do you mean?
Vyn: I said, let us go watch it again.
Vyn: I will stay with you and hold your hand tightly when the show ends.
