A little girl with big blue eyes and a ornate pink dress on trailed behind a tall woman with silver hair. "Beatrice-sama..?" She asked shyly, glancing up at her with those wide childlike eyes. For a minute you could see behind those innocent eyes what she would become. A tall, arrogant woman with a pipe and a flower pin..but now, you cast that image aside and instead saw a rambunctious girl tugging on the long skirts of her teacher.
"What is it, Princess?" The woman asked politely, smiling down at her with closed eyes, her face the picture of serenity. "Do you think I'll be able to learn how to fix things like that? Look, I can almost fix this cup!" She proclaimed proudly, showing her the broken cup in her hands. 'Beatrice' raised her eyebrows at the child, who was showing signs of pride.
"Princess did you break that cup?" She asked somberly. 'Princess' smiled up at her, blushing some. "Well, I had to fix something...but look, I can fix it, I know I can!" She protested, shutting her eyes tightly as she tried to remember what teacher taught her the first time they met.
Remember it as it once was, she chanted in her mind, trying to imagine the cup the way it was before she had stealthily slapped it off it's table, quickly picking up every shard before gathering her skirts with her other hand and bolting out the door as fast as she could out of the house. Her arm was slightly bloodied from it, but that didn't matter! She was going to show Teacher she could do it.
Bits of gold specks fluttered around the broken shards of the cup, and slowly, bit by bit, the shards began to realign with the cup until with a burst, the cup was back to the way it was. 'Beatrice' stared at this with slightly opened eyes, 'Princess' stared up at her with hopeful eyes, shining with pride. Slowly but surely, 'Beatrice'' smiled, and with it, gently ruffled Princess' hair.
"Good job, Princess."

[A little girl is in place of Beato on the screen, you might notice she is beaming with pride as she giggles at the dream. But that changes to fear as she realizes she has no idea where she is. ]
Teacher? Where are you? Teacher?!
