Marianne, I saw you on the training grounds earlier. It looked like there was an argument.

Marianne
volume_up

Oh, no. It was nothing.

Ignatz

Are you sure? Nothing happened at this morning's training?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Well...
link
Ignatz
volume_up

OK. Tell me what happened.

Marianne

I-I just couldn't keep up with the rest of the group...
link
Marianne
volume_up

Everyone got so mad at me. They said something about looking into their eyes so I can read their movements, but I couldn't do it...
link
Ignatz
volume_up

They may have a point.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'm a hindrance to everyone... I just—I can't do it!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Of course not. That goes without saying.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

It's hard to accomplish anything on your own. Look at me! By myself, I'm worse than useless.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Can you see where I'm going with this?

Ignatz

To succeed, you have to cooperate. You can't do that if you're not paying attention to nonverbal cues.

Marianne

Huh?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Please, try looking up, looking people in the eye. You'll see some things that you've never seen before.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

People worry about you, and rely on you. You'll see that on your allies' faces. In a way, you'll see what they're thinking.
link
Marianne
volume_up

You...you may be right. It was my fault for looking down.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Thank you, Ignatz... I appreciate your encouragement.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Of course! Look. We both saw the sunset and appreciated its beauty.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Nature communicates without words. We can do the same. We don't need to speak to be understood.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Stop staring at your feet! Look at us. That'll be a good start.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I can certainly try!
link
Ignatz
volume_up

...
link
Marianne
volume_up

I-is something wrong? Did I say something to upset you?
link
Ignatz
volume_up

Oh, no! To the contrary.
link
Ignatz
volume_up

I just realized that I was missing something. A thing of remarkable beauty, right under my nose...
link
Marianne
volume_up

Remarkable beauty?
link
Ignatz

Ah, what? Don't mind me!
