E-excuse me. I think there's been some kind of misunderstanding. I - I just met Sault-san and Lapis-san and Lazuli-san and now I've somehow found my way here.

[They all seemed like such nice people, and so welcoming~]I thought I was in a shop, but now I can't even find a door. It looks like something from a world beyond. Places like this only

[Staring at Sawako staring off into space is resident lineface, Argentine. He blinks slowly and tilts his head.] There isn't a door.

[artiscordis]

[A long pause.]

Let me dress you.

[superoptimistic]

Huh?

[she looks down at her uniform, then back at Argentine]

But I am dressed.

[artiscordis]

Not as a proper lady should be. It bothers me.

[superoptimistic]

It - it bothers you!?!?

[she turns red and bows in apology]

I'm - I'm so sorry, Argentine-kun. Please help me dress more properly in a way that won't offend you.

[artiscordis]

I'm not offended. You have the potential for beauty. It shouldn't be wasted.

[superoptimistic]

B-b-beauty?

Me!?!?

I'm - I'm sorry, but you must be mistaken. I didn't mean to mislead you, Argentine-kun.

[artiscordis]

[Time to invade personal space.

Argentine stands and walks forward. He leans up to peer into Sawako's face and touches her hair.]

...Hm, no. I'm not mistaken.

[superoptimistic]

[she turns bright red and goes rigid]

[her eyes tear up and she clenches her fist at her side]

You're - you're too kind, Argentine-kun.

[and her eyes dart down so she doesn't have to look at him.]

[artiscordis]

[....why do people keep saying that.]

Tears can be quite beautiful, though confusing. Are you hurt?

[superoptimistic]

[she sniffs and shakes her head, and then smiles at him]

No, you just - you just made me very happy with your kind words, Argentine-kun. Thank you.

[This is the first time anyone has ever said I had the potential for beauty. I'll remember it forever.]

[artiscordis]

You're welcome. Your smile is especially beautiful.

[Hmm, what clothes for her :|a]

[superoptimistic]

Th-thank you.

[and she turns bright red and looks down again]

Do - do you enjoy clothes a lot, Argentine-kun?

[artiscordis]

I prefer it when humans look at their best.

[superoptimistic]

That's very kind of you, Argentine-kun. I think - I think I like it when humans look at their best, too.

Do you have clothes here?

[artiscordis]

No. I have to make them first. I haven't thought about having a wardrobe here.
