There she is—and she seems to be alone. Now's my chance.

Alois

Bernadetta, hello! May I ask you something?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Ah! What? Me?! I-I've seen nothing!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I w-wasn't even there! You have no proof!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

And even if I was there, it's not a crime to find people's hobbies fascinating!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I'll forget everything! I'll never tell a soul where I found them or what they were wearing or any of it!
link
Alois
volume_up

Hold on, hold on! Please calm down. It's just me.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Huh? Oh... Oh, it's you, Alois. What a relief.
link
Alois
volume_up

That's right. Your denials really piqued my curiosity, but I'm glad you've calmed down.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Did you want to talk to me about something?
link
Alois
volume_up

I did. Listen...
link
Alois
volume_up

You're always so skittish—just now, for example. But when you saw it was me, you were fine. Why is that?
link
Alois
volume_up

It's been on my mind since I delivered that package. You don't seem scared of me at all.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Um, were you hoping I would be?
link
Alois
volume_up

What? Oh no, certainly not. I was just making an observation.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Well, I guess it's because you remind me of my uncle.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

He's the only one in my family who's ever been kind to me, and he's the only man I can talk to normally.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Actually, I'm fine with the professor too. So I guess that's not completely true anymore.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

My uncle and I never did talk that much, but we didn't need to. We just understood each other.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Anyway, you really remind me of him. So talking to you feels comfortable.
link
Alois
volume_up

Ah, so that's why! At last the mystery's solved.
link
Alois
volume_up

Your uncle and I must be quite alike. Is it my face, my physique?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Kind of, but I think it's more your personality.
link
Alois
volume_up

My personality?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Yeah, you're always so bright, cheerful, and gentle. You put people at ease.
link
Alois
volume_up

Well, I'm honored to hear you say so.
link
Alois
volume_up

I'd like to meet this uncle of yours. He sounds like a genial fellow. Whereabouts does he live?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Oh... My uncle? Um...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I, uh... I just remembered something. I have to go!
