Bernadetta enters the scene

Bernadetta

♪Hm hm-hm-hm... I finally have a day all on my own... A day inside my room... At last I feel as free as a bird that’s flown...♪

Alois enters the scene

Alois

Bernadetta, do you have a moment?

Bernadetta

Ah! I wasn't looking at their hats, I swear!

Bernadetta

And if I was, I wouldn't say a word about them! Not even if you tortured me!

Bernadetta

Mercy! Please! I can keep a secret—honest!

Alois

Hold on! It's me, Alois. Calm down.

Bernadetta

Huh? Oh, Alois! I was sure you— Um, never mind.

Alois

Hm. I can't help but wonder about these hats you were looking at... But I'll set that aside for now.

Alois

I wanted to apologize for being insensitive. I can't believe I trampled on your emotions like that.

Bernadetta

Huh? Was there something you did? I don't remember anything...

Alois

About your dear uncle. It never crossed my mind that he might have passed away.

Bernadetta

Oh, that. Don't worry about it.

Alois

But it clearly upset you.

Alois

I can't even express how guilty I feel about opening an old wound like that. I'm so sorry.

Bernadetta

Hey, it's OK. You're reminding me of him even now.

Bernadetta

And it's completely fine! I'm glad we talked about it.

Alois

Is that so? Hm. Well then, why did you look so sad when I mentioned him?

Bernadetta

The truth is I realized I hadn't visited my uncle's grave in a long time.

Bernadetta

With me not showing up for so long, I imagined him being worried about me...

Alois

I see. He must have been quite dear to you.

Bernadetta

Hey, that gives me a great idea!

Bernadetta

Why don't we go see my uncle together sometime?

Alois

You want me to visit your uncle's grave? But I don't have any connection with him.

Bernadetta

Sure you do. You're connected by me!

Alois

I didn't think of that... All right, then. I accept.

Alois

If you don't mind my tagging along, I'll gladly accompany you!

Bernadetta

Great! Thanks, Unc— Ugh... Thanks, Alois.

Alois

Hahaha!
