Hello, Marianne.

Sylvain

Won't you at least tell me why you're avoiding me? It hurts. It really does.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'm not avoiding you. I'm just not very good at talking to people in general.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I told you I'm on your side, and I meant it.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I'm guessing you don't much like talking about Crests. Call it a hunch.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Well, um...
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I'm the same way, ya know.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

The value of my life has always been dictated by the damn thing. It's not fair to have your worth determined by something you can't control.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Growing up in House Gautier taught me that the hard way.
link
Marianne
volume_up

What do you believe determines a person's value?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I like to think it's a person's smile.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Huh? Their smile?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

A smile, it tells you who someone is. Are they fake or sincere? It also makes you feel stronger when you smile.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

My smile helps me focus and set free all of that power I never asked for.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Hm, I wonder...
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Try it out, Marianne! Be strong-willed, and put everything you've got into your smile.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Smile. Be strong-willed... How's this?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Yeesh, that's a terr—rrific first try...if a bit stiff. Lift the corners of your lips just a bit. Oh, I know! Try saying, "cheese!"
link
Marianne
volume_up

Ch-cheese?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Hey, that was good! It might feel a bit unnatural, but you'll get used to it soon enough.
link
Marianne
volume_up

Cheese...
link
Marianne
volume_up

Are you sure this will make me stronger?
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Guaranteed. It's a great smile, you know. Let's go to town and show it off.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

If you lift your eyes from the ground, you'll see that the world has all sorts of amazing things to offer.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

The more you realize that, the more you'll smile.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I'll think about it...
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Please, don't let me pressure you. If you don't want to go, I understand.
link
Marianne
volume_up

It's not that I don't like going into town. I'm just eager to get back to my room.
link
Marianne
volume_up

I want to go practice my smile.
link
Marianne
volume_up

If I keep practicing, maybe someday I'll be ready to go into town with you.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

Oh yeah? That sounds great.
link
Sylvain
volume_up

I can't wait to see your best smile.
