Hmm.

Marianne

Um, is something wrong?

Ferdinand

I am sorry, but, uh... You seem very different. Compared to how you were before.
link
Marianne
volume_up

That may be true.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Right there! You are smiling. I do not think I have ever seen you smile.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Please...you're making me blush...
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I do not mean to embarrass you! I am just saying, you seem to have truly changed.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Well, I have you to thank for that.
link
Marianne
volume_up

In truth, I spent a lot of time thinking about what you said.
link
Marianne
volume_up

It meant so much when you told me that everyone has a purpose to fulfill. Even me.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I am so glad to hear you say that, Marianne. I wonder, did you find a purpose for yourself?
link
Marianne
volume_up

No, not yet... But I've been much happier since I started thinking about it more.

Marianne

I remembered a time back when I was working at the animal clinic. The rest of the staff was so thankful for the work I had done.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Even in something as simple as looking after animals, I was able to make myself useful to others.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Thinking about it made me realize that anyone can make other people happy. Even someone like me.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

It sounds to me like you have already found your answer.
link
Marianne
volume_up

What do you mean?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Making people happy. If you ask me, that is a truly worthwhile purpose.
link
Marianne
volume_up

You may be right!
link
Marianne
volume_up

Ah! I just remembered! I wanted to ask about your food.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Yes, what about it?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Today was my turn to prepare the meal. How is it?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Oh! It is delicious!
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

The flavor and the texture are superb. So you are certainly making me happy!
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'm glad you like it.
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

I hope you will learn to like yourself. For what it is worth, I like you.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Oh?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

Maybe, if you have the time, you can cook something for me again?
link
Ferdinand
volume_up

For me alone, I mean.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Of course! It would be my pleasure!
