♪Hm hmm hm-hmm... Hm hmm hm-hmm...♪ Huh?! Is that Yuri?

I gotta evaporate! Maybe if I just curl into a ball, I'll pass as a boulder. Or a...pebble.

Yuri enters the scene

Yuri
volume_up

Hey, Bernadetta!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Ah! You can see me?!
link
Yuri
volume_up

Clearly... You're a tricky one. Always trying to hide when I'm around.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

S-sorry! Please forgive me!
link
Yuri
volume_up

If you want forgiveness, then explain yourself. But make it quick. You always ramble on.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Um! Well, when I was little, my mother and father, they—
link
Yuri
volume_up

You've gotta be kidding. Cut to the chase, please.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Uh... You remind me of one of my old friends.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Oh, come now. Whoever this friend of yours is can't possibly compare to me.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I'm telling the truth!
link
Yuri
volume_up

All right, all right. What was this friend like, then?
link
Yuri
volume_up

The way you run and hide from me, they must've been a real piece of work.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

That's not it at all!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

He was the assistant to the gardener at our estate. My friend was gentle, trustworthy...gorgeous.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

And...well, he was the only person who was ever nice to me.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

We used to run around the gardens playing together.
link
Yuri
volume_up

And why is it you keep running away from me?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

That's... Uh... Do I really have to say? We hardly even know each other!
link
Yuri
volume_up

You never have to do anything. But if you don't, you and I won't have a shot at knowing one another, and you'll carry on avoiding me forever.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

But that's no good either! OK! OK! I'll tell you!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

The thing is, because of me, he got in trouble. After that, I never saw him again.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

You see, my father hated commoners, and when he found out I was spending a lot of time with one... Well...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

He's probably dead now! And it's all my fault! It's 'cause of me! He must have hated me!
link
Yuri
volume_up

That... Ugh. That doesn't sound right to me. Why would you think all that?
link
Yuri
volume_up

Nothing you did would make his death your fault. And hating you for something that isn't your fault is absolutely absurd—delusional, even.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

You're wrong! He'd definitely hate me if he knew! How would you know, anyway?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

What, did you know my friend or something?
link
Yuri
volume_up

In a manner... Right.
link
Yuri
volume_up

So, remember back when you were a kid?
link
Yuri
volume_up

You tripped while holding some gardening shears. And your friend got cut pretty badly.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Hmmm... Oh yeah! I remember. But...how did you know about that?
link
Yuri
volume_up

If I bore you any ill will, it would have only been for cutting my face with those damn shears.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Cutting your face... Shears... But! There's no way!
link
Yuri
volume_up

But there is. That friend? That was me, Bernadetta.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Anyway, I'm glad I finally got to hear how you felt about all of that.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Let's spend time together later and chat about the good ol' days. Get to know each other again.

But how did... But he! But!
