Mirabelle (happy1) Siffrin! Are you feeling better?

Mirabelle (awawa1) You looked so sick earlier!!! I got really worried!!!

Siffrin (US_sad1) "I... I'm better now, Mira."

Mirabelle (gentle1) Ah... I'm very glad.

Siffrin (US_sad2) "..."

Mirabelle (oh!1) ...

Mirabelle (anxious2) Um, are you--

Siffrin (US_upset1) (You have to say it!!!) "I-I'm sorry for what I said earlier. Yesterday."

Mirabelle (awawa1) Oh!

Siffrin (US_sad1) "It was, um... I was out of line. I'm sorry."

Mirabelle (anxious3) Siffrin...

Siffrin (US_guilty1) "A-And it came out wrong, it's just that before, in another loop, you said--"

Mirabelle (angy1) Ah, no, stop!!!

(You flinch, and stop talking.)

Mirabelle (awawa1) Ah, sorry for yelling! S-Sorry, I mean...

Mirabelle (anxious2) Um... It's just... I don't want to hear about that.

Mirabelle (stressed1) About anything that happened with any past Mirabelles, I mean! And what happened with them for you to know, uh, stuff, yesterday!!!

(Oh.)

Mirabelle (awkward2) I can guess what you must've talked about with them, and... I don't want to know.

Mirabelle (stressed1) Even if it helped them then, I don't want to know!!!

Mirabelle (awawa1) I want to figure it all out on my own, and not because you know, um...

Siffrin (US_guilty2) "...Spoilers?"

Mirabelle (stressed1) Spoilers!!! Exactly!!! You know spoilers about me!!!

Mirabelle (anxious2) I don't like the idea of you or anyone knowing things about me that I don't know about.

Mirabelle (awkward1) So, um... I hope you can understand... That I don't want to hear about it?

(You hated it when everyone acted like they knew more about your feelings than you.)

(Of course you understand.)

(You nod.)

Mirabelle (happy1) Good!

Mirabelle (awkward2) ...But all that aside, um...

Mirabelle (serious1) Quite honestly, Siffrin... A lot has happened in the last day or so.

Mirabelle (serious2) We looked for you, we met a star, we went up the House, we beat the King, you were sick and barely responding, the Head Housemaiden acted weird...

Mirabelle (angry5) We had to fight you, we saved the country, we decided to keep traveling again, I'm digesting Bonnie's snacks we just got, I'm sleepy...

Mirabelle (sad2) So many things happened, all with their specific emotions tied to them, from happiness to fear to relief...

Mirabelle (awkward1b) So, what you said to me yesterday is ranking pretty low overall on the list of things I'm thinking about.

(Oh.)

Mirabelle (awkward2) But...

Mirabelle (hm2) But maybe, when I'll have had time to process everything that happened...

Mirabelle (serious1) Maybe I'll be angry then. At what you said.

Mirabelle (awkward2) But, that's...

Siffrin (US_guilty2) "If you do, tell me."

Mirabelle (oh!1) Huh? Um, alright, if you want, but why?

Siffrin (US_sad1) "So you can, uh..."

Siffrin (US_ohshit1) "Scream at me? I guess?"

Mirabelle (sad1) Oh, no...

Mirabelle (stressed1) Siffrin, I don't want to scream at you, even if I'm angry!

Siffrin (US_sad1) "But..."

Mirabelle (anxious3) If I do feel angry, we can deal with it then, but please don't say things like that.

Mirabelle (anxious2) Knowing you're expecting me to scream at you... It makes me sad...

Mirabelle (anxious3) Is that how you see me? I'm sorry...

Siffrin (US_awawa1) "N-No, no, I just..."

Siffrin (US_sad1) "..."

Mirabelle (anxious3) ...

Mirabelle (serious1) Well, I don't want to scream at you, even if I get angry. So I won't.

Mirabelle (gentle1) And... And I can tell you regret what happened, too.

Mirabelle (gentle1) And it counts for more than you think.

Mirabelle (sad2) And... I also... Feel bad. About what happened.

Siffrin (US_awawa1) (huh?) "Why?"

Mirabelle (awkward2) I feel like... Since you were always so mysterious and cool, I didn't really try to know more about you.

Mirabelle (angy1) Because of the aura! The mystique! You look like you have secrets! Delicious secrets!!!

Mirabelle (anxious1) And people probably ask you about them all the time... And I didn't want to bother you, when it's not any of my business...

Mirabelle (sad1) So I never asked you anything. About yourself, or how you were feeling.

Mirabelle (sad2) But... Everything that happened to you made me realize...

Mirabelle (stressed1) You're someone who's actually very shy and introverted! Like me!!!

Mirabelle (anxious2) And you wouldn't tell anyone anything they didn't ask for, because why would you tell them something out of the blue, right?

Mirabelle (awkward1) It's better to stay silent and not tell anyone anything about you or how you're feeling, right...?

Siffrin (US_surprised1) "Right!!!"

Siffrin (US_guilty2) "I don't want to bother anyone with my problems, so..."

Mirabelle (angy1) So I'll keep my feelings here, until I die!

(You nod!!!)

Mirabelle (awawa1) I-I felt the same thing, about the-- About the King!

Mirabelle (stressed1) About being the chosen! About having to save everyone!!!

Mirabelle (anxious3) Everyone was counting on me, so I didn't want to... Bother them with my problems...

Mirabelle (sad2) ...

Siffrin (US_sadsmile1) "But the problems still exist, even if you ignore them."

Mirabelle (happy1) Exactly!

Mirabelle (gentle1) ...We're very similar in that way, aren't we?

Mirabelle (awkward2) But... What I'm getting at is...

Mirabelle (sad1) You were dealing with so much, in the last two days...

Mirabelle (sad1) And I didn't insist enough, and...

Mirabelle (sad2) ...

(...)

Mirabelle So, Siffrin! During this journey we're about to start together...

Mirabelle W-We should talk more, the two of us! About things! About how we feel!!!

Mirabelle So we can help each other out! And so we have someone to, um, hold us accountable! On feelings!!!

Mirabelle I-If that's okay!!! Maybe you'd like to talk to Isabeau or Odile instead--

Siffrin "I'd love that, Mira."

Mirabelle Oh!

Mirabelle Hehehe, yay!

Mirabelle Feelings buddies!

Mirabelle "Feelings buddies."

(You nod firmly at each other, then grin.)

Mirabelle (anxious2) Okay! I need to think about what we'll need to bring for this new journey...

Mirabelle (happy1) So go and talk to everyone! But you can talk to me later, too, if you want!

(You smile.)

Mirabelle (happy1) Hi again, Siffrin!

Siffrin (US_question1) (Hm...)

• "Good job on defeating the King!"
• "So, about the Change belief..."
• "I heard you taught a class once!"
• "Nothing, just saying hi!"

Mirabelle (awawa1) O-OH!!!

Mirabelle (stressed1) No, I couldn't have done it without everyone else--

Siffrin (US_yahoo3) "You did it!!!"

Mirabelle (awawa1) No, I--

Siffrin (US_yahoo3) "You did!!!"

Mirabelle (anxious2) N--

Siffrin (US_yahoo3) "You!!!"

Mirabelle (anxious2) ...

Siffrin (US_yahoo2) "You did it!!!!!!"

Mirabelle (awkward2) . . .

Mirabelle (anxious2) I did, didn't I...?

Mirabelle (sad2) I defeated the King...

Mirabelle (sad1) I saved Vaugarde...?

Siffrin (US_happy2) "You saved Vaugarde."

Mirabelle (sad4) O-Oh...!

Mirabelle (sad3) Oh Change...

(You smile.)

Mirabelle (sad2) ...

Mirabelle (sad1) I'm glad he's gone. And his curse has been reversed, now, too...

Mirabelle (awkward2) But... Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it seemed like you and the King... Knew each other?

Mirabelle (anxious2) The way he talked to you... I...

Siffrin (sad1) (You take a breath, and say it.)     "We came from the same country, that's all."

Mirabelle (awawa1) Oh!

Mirabelle (stressed1) W-Well, I think that counts for a lot! Coming from the same place, sharing the same traditions, that counts for a lot!!!

Mirabelle (sad1) I just... He's frozen in time now, isn't he...?

Mirabelle (anxious2) Should I... Should I not have--

Siffrin (US_sadsmile1) "No, it's fine."

Siffrin (US_sad3) "It's probably better that way."

Mirabelle (sad1) Oh...

Siffrin (US_sad3) (...) "He seemed happy, before he got completely frozen."

(Frozen the very moment he remembered it all...)

(He'll remember your country forever.)

(Lucky.)

Mirabelle (worried1) ...Your country, huh...

Mirabelle (wonder1) Will you... Tell me about it, someday?

Mirabelle (angy1) U-Unless you already talked about it to any past Mirabelles!!! I wouldn't want you to repeat yourself!!!

Siffrin (US_sad3) "I haven't."

Siffrin (US_sadsmile1) "And even if I did..."

Siffrin (US_happy2) "I'd like that. To talk to you about it for a bit."

Mirabelle (gentle1) Oh...

Mirabelle (happy1) Wonderful! I'll be waiting, then!

(She jumps in place a little, happy about the idea.)

(You copy her, and you both jump in place for a bit, grinning.)

Mirabelle (oh!1) Hm? What about it?

Siffrin (US_awawa1) "I know you don't want to know spoilers about past you..."

Siffrin (US_awawa1) "But what about something that happened to you? Would that be okay for me to tell?"

Mirabelle (awkward2) Hm...

Mirabelle (anxious1) As long as it's not spoilers on me, specifically, I suppose?

Mirabelle (oh!1) Why? Did something happen during one of your loops?

Siffrin (US_ohshit1) (Well, then.)     "So, we met the Change God."

Mirabelle (happy1) Oh, okay! Like, one of the statues?

Siffrin (US_ohshit1) "Like, the ACTUAL Change God."

Mirabelle (happy1) Oh, okay!

Siffrin (US_ohshit1) "..."

Mirabelle (happy1) . . .

Mirabelle (serious2) Wait are you serious.

(You tell Mirabelle all about your encounter with the Change God.)

Mirabelle (serious2) ...

Mirabelle (serious2) ...

Mirabelle (serious2) ...

Mirabelle (anxious2) Alright, I'm going to put this in today's pile of things I will need some time to process.

Mirabelle (anxious2) Riiiight below "my friend was stuck looping through time for a long time".

Siffrin (US_happy2) (Aw!) "I'm flattered!"

Mirabelle (happy1) Hehehe!

Mirabelle (uwah!1) Wait, you shouldn't be!!!

(You both stare at each other for a second, then laugh.)

Mirabelle (anxious2) Oh no.

Siffrin (US_awawa1) (Ah, but you need to make sure!) "I-It's not spoilers since it's something that happened way before, isn't it?"

Mirabelle (anxious1) No, it's not spoilers, but...

Mirabelle (angy1) Wh-What, will you tease me about it?!?

Siffrin (US_awawa1) "No, of course not!!!"

Siffrin (US_awawa1) "Even if it didn't end well, it's really nice you did it anyway."

Mirabelle (awkward2) Hnrgh... Not really...

Mirabelle (sad2) It was a stupid idea anyway. I don't know anything that's worth teaching to people, so...

(Hm... If you remember correctly...)

(She couldn't say anything because she also felt like learning wasn't worthwhile on its own... But...)

Siffrin (US_ohshit1) "But don't you think you learned a lot during our journey?"

Mirabelle (sad2) ...

Siffrin (US_fufufu1) "And don't you think people would line up to go to a class taught by Vaugarde's chosen one?"

Mirabelle (stressed1) . . .

Mirabelle (anxious2) Suddenly I'm filled with stress and fear.

(Hah!)

Mirabelle (happy4) Hehe...

Mirabelle (happy1) Hahaha!

(You laugh together.)

Mirabelle (awkward2) ...But yes, I... There is a lot more I could teach people now, couldn't I...?

Mirabelle (thinking1) But I feel like there's so many things I could do, other than teaching...

Mirabelle (anxious2) You know, um... Don't tell anyone, but I've been thinking some parts of the Change Belief are... A little silly.

Mirabelle (thinking1) I've been meaning to talk to the Head Housemaiden about it at some point...

(Oh!!!)

(She did mention it before!!! That she felt like the Change Belief meant that people might not feel comfortable staying the same, might not feel comfortable being okay with who they are!!!)

(You have so much you want to tell her about, but you try very hard not to show it.)

Siffrin (US_surprised1) "Interesting idea!!!"

Mirabelle (serious2) ...    Did past me get the same idea.

Siffrin (US_ohshit1) "...Yes, a little."

Siffrin (US_sad4) "But she never got the chance to, um... To go farther with it."

Mirabelle (oh!1) Oh! So... So this would be... New, to you? To me?

(You nod!)

Mirabelle (awawa1) Oh!!!

Mirabelle (happy2) Hehehe, then, then I'll try it out!

Mirabelle (stressed1) I'll have to talk with madame Odile! She would probably know how to help!!!

(Her smile is infectious.)

(You grin back.)

Mirabelle (happy1) Oh, okay!

Mirabelle (happy4) Hehehe... Hi to you also, Siffrin!
