P-Professor Hanneman? You wanted to speak with me?

Miss Marianne, hello. Do pardon the mess. Please, have a seat.

Of course...

Marianne, Hanneman enter the scene

Hanneman

I have been puzzling over why your father would wish to conceal your Crest...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

And I have arrived at a conclusion. Would you like to hear it?
link
Marianne
volume_up

No, I...I would rather not.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Ah. Fair enough. Then I will keep it to myself.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

However, if my theory is correct... Well, then it is only natural for you, and your father, to try keeping your Crest a secret.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

That said, I feel I would be remiss if I didn't point out that I consider this decision a most grievous error.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'm not sure what you mean...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Crests never manifest in someone unfit to bear them.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Which means, Miss Marianne, you have the ability to make the most of your Crest because it is, by definition, your Crest.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I have no desire to make use of my Crest.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

But it can be of service to you, and, I would venture to suggest, to the world at large.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Ever since I was born, that Crest has been nothing but a burden to me. My parents too.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Ah, that's right. I have heard that you were adopted. Did one of your birth parents also have that Crest?
link
Marianne
volume_up

Uh...yes. It was my father.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Then that Crest is evidence that you are your true father's daughter.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Concealing it—hiding that truth from the world— is denying your true parentage, is it not?
link
Marianne
volume_up

I don't...
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I'm not suggesting you flaunt your Crest. That would be highly unnecessary. Possibly even dangerous.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I simply wish you to accept who you are.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Accept it?
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Accept the Crest, and allow its power to come forward, then it will open itself to you.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Whatever the Crest may be, whatever its origin, or its nature, it can serve you. It is yours to command however you wish.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Mine?
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Nobody can decide how to use your Crest, Miss Marianne. That choice is yours alone.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I will... Um... I will think about that.
