A Maid's New Year Commemoration

Corin: ...

(Talk to Corin)

Corin: ...

Corin?

Corin: ...

Corin?

Why is she ignoring me?

Corin: ...

While pondering on how to approach the conversation, a pair of cold hands gently but firmly tugs you aside...

Rina: Master Proxy, please don't disturb Corin while she's looking for inspiration.

Looking for inspiration?

Lycaon: Here's the things. As Gilded Carrot Day approaches, Corin seems to have developed a passion for painting. A few days ago, she told us that she wanted to paint a picture to commemorate this New Year.

Lycaon: However, ever since she mentioned this to us, three whole days have passed, and it seems that her artwork has made no progress. The canvas remains blank...

Lycaon: Every day after work, Corin goes to Lumina Square to look for inspiration...

But she seems to be just staring into space...

Progress seems sluggish.

Rina: Corin seems to care a lot about this painting and wants to depict "the unique atmosphere of Lumina Square during the New Year."

Rina: It might be precisely because she cares too much that she has been unable to put brush to canvas.

Lycaon: Excuse me, but... can I ask you something?

Lycaon: Since we met, Corin has had great admiration and trust in you. If you could offer some advice, it might help Corin break through this bottleneck...

Lycaon: I know your photography skills are quite refined. Could you please take some photos of what you consider to be "unique scenes of Lumina Square during the New Year" and provide some suggestions for Corin?

Leave it to me.

Sure, it's no big deal.

Lycaon: Thank you so much. We'll be waiting for you here.

Capture unique scenes of Lumina Square

 Step Description

---

Lycaon and Rina asks me to take pictures of Lumina Square's unique scenes during the New Year to help Corin find inspiration for her artwork.

(Talk to Rina and Lycaon, optional)

Rina: During Gilded Carrot Day, Lumina Square has many decorations that are unique to this festive season...

Lycaon: Please help me, Master Proxy. I'm sure your guidance will help Corin figure out what to do.

I have the photos. Let's go back to Corin. I hope I can help her create a satisfying painting...

Ellen: Don't worry about it.

Corin: Really...?

(Talk to Corin)

Ellen: Corin, don't overthink it. Just draw the place you like the most.

Ellen: If you like it, she'll like it too.

Corin: Really...?

Ellen: I've asked Ruby, Monna, and Lynn.

Ellen: You told me that this painting was for your friend, so I... did a little research by asking some friends.

Corin: Did they... say that? As long as I like it... Is that good enough?

Ellen: Right. It's like when you go out to have fun, as long as you go to the place you like, it's good enough, right?

Corin: So that's what it is...

Corin: I really... want to be able to play with her again... I want her to see every New Year.

Corin: I miss her so much.

Corin: Every time I hear the sound of heartbeats... I think of her.

Corin: These days, I've been thinking, if she were still by my side, what would she say to me...

Corin: *sobbing*

Ellen: Corin, don't cry...

Ellen: What should I do now? How did I end up making her cry instead...

Ellen: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), stop watching and come help!

Together with Ellen, you try everything you can to comfort Corin. Finally, her sobs stop.

Lycaon: Corin, Master Proxy also has something for you. Check it out.

Corin, I took some photos for you.

Take a look. Are they helpful?

Corin: Did you... take these photos for me, Master Proxy?

Rina: Yes, we know you want to capture a "different-than-usual Lumina Square," so we asked Proxy to give you some suggestions.

Rina: This is a recommendation from your favorite Proxy. Now, you shouldn't feel so indecisive, right?

Corin: ...

Corin: Everyone... and Master Proxy... are all worried because of me...

Corin: WAAAH!!!

...

She's crying even harder this time...

Corin: S—Sorry... but... Corin... I... Everyone...

Corin: Mr. Lycaon... Ms. Rina... they're all worried about me...

Corin: I...

Corin: No... I can't say I'm totally useless... It's not the time to be criticizing myself...

Corin: I must finish it the painting...

Corin: Tell her... her... I did... fulfill... her wishes...

Corin: That I did it for her...

Corin babbles on without anyone's interruptions.
Rina gently pats her on the head and waits for her to calm down...

Corin: Thank you... I'll... do my best!

Corin: Oh... Thank you for the photos, Master Proxy. I... I practiced drawing and came up with some Bangboo designs too...

Corin: If you're making clothes for Master Eous, I hope... this'll... help...

Corin: Thank you so much!

(Talk to Corin again, optional)

Ellen: Corin, I think it'll be great if you included everyone in the painting.

Corin: Miss Ellen is right...

Corin: And you too, Master Proxy! I will paint you too!
