[First of all - people in community building four? There's a very good chance you might smell something burning. It does not smell nice.

Now, for everyone else -- you're going to hear Noel fumbling with the journal momentarily. She's sniffling, which might indicate that she's been crying a little.]

I-I think it's locked. [It has to be locked,

[most_talented]

... Uh... What happened there?

[bullet_dance]

[Oh dear god. It's true then; this wasn't locked. And now everyone can see the disaster. Fffff.]

... I-it... failed... a-and I followed the recipe word for word...

[most_talented]

...

Have you ever taken cooking lessons?

[bullet_dance]

...

N-no. Why...?

[most_talented]

I teach them at the bakery Saturday mornings.

Maybe if you showed me how you made them, I can see where it went wrong, and help you out?

[bullet_dance]

...

Really...?

[most_talented]

Sure thing.

My name's Makoto. What's yours?

[bullet_dance]

[Oh, Makoto. You've given her a false light of hope. That is not a pun.]

...

I-I'm Noel!

Th-thank you.

[most_talented]

[Makoto is no miracle worker, but she tries. She tries.]

It's nice to meet you, Noel. I'm sure soon you'll wind up making some really delicious cookies.

[bullet_dance]

Really...?

[most_talented]

Really!

[bullet_dance]

I-I believe in you!

[most_talented]

You really should believe in yourself.

[bullet_dance]

--Eh? Wh-what do you mean...?

[Because the idea is, y'know, totally foreign to her.]

[most_talented]

... I mean, tell yourself you can do it. You know, self-confidence?

[bullet_dance]

...

Y-yeah. That makes sense. Believing in myself... okay!
