Shirlley... sad?

[merines]

Oh? N-no, not really. Just wondering about something... I thought, maybe talking to my sister could help me sort it out. [smiles]

[findherway]

O-oh... sister help?

Shirrley want... gift? [has a picture for her too!]

[merines]

Yes. Stella was always so reasonable, so... if I talk to her, I feel like I can be more confident in my decisions.

Ah...! [////] A-a gift...?

You'd like to? Hmm... I suppose we could make cookies, if you'd like.
