Ugh, what's the use? Even with all I've learned, I still don't understand!

Mercedes enters the scene

Hello, Constance. I hope I'm not interrupting.
link
Constance
volume_up

Not at all. I was just in need of a sympathetic ear.
link
Constance

I found a magical scroll, which, unless I am mistaken, should relieve me of my woes.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh, wonderful!
link
Constance
volume_up

Not so fast. The magic within this scroll is a type I have neglected to study.
link
Constance

It pains me to admit this, but it may take decades of going back to the basics to grasp it.

Mercedes
volume_up

Decades? That's a long time to spend with your nose buried in an old piece of parchment.

Constance
volume_up

Why must the goddess dangle a solution before me, only to cruelly pull it away?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

There's no need to despair. To tell the truth, I like you just as you are.
link
Constance
volume_up

You do?
link
Constance
volume_up

Why? Those low moods of mine have never done anyone the least bit of good.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

You're like a little sister to me. Nothing you do will change that, not even a little bit.
link
Constance
volume_up

Really?
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Of course. You're my sweet Constance, and I like you just as you are.
link
Constance
volume_up

I...I see.
link
Constance
volume_up

Perhaps my moods are not the great burden I thought they were...
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pressure you. No matter what decision you make, I support you.
link
Constance
volume_up

I felt no pressure, I assure you. It's more that I feel...embarrassed to have been embarrassed.
link
Constance
volume_up

I'd put so much effort into finding a magical means to alleviate myself...
link
Constance
volume_up

That it never occurred to me that maybe all I needed was to accept myself.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

What will you do with the scroll you found?
link
Constance
volume_up

Oh, I'll continue to research it...for research's sake, if nothing else. But I may have no need of it.
link
Constance
volume_up

It's not as if these moods of mine have ever hampered my efforts to restore my house.
link
Constance
volume_up

And I am as a sister to you no matter which face I present, yes?
link
Constance
volume_up

Nothing—no mood, no foe, no obligation—will keep me from honoring my sisterly duty to protect you!
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Haha! We can protect each other.
link
Constance
volume_up

Good! It is settled! Now we can begin the hard work of reclaiming our titles.
link
Mercedes
volume_up

Absolutely! We'll become sister sages and restore our houses to their former glory.
link
Constance
volume_up

You understand the plan perfectly!
link
Constance
volume_up

If we walk this path together...it can only end in triumph!
