If That is What You Wish

Lycaon: Miss Lilac—

Lilac: That’s enough! I don’t want to hear it!

Lilac: Are you satisfied seeing me like this...

Lilac: I’m useless, such a freak, so hated by everyone... That’s the kind of person I am! Are you happy now?

(After catching up to Lilac)

Lilac: You’ve been investigating me all this time... was it my father or mother who put you up to it?

Lilac: Is it because I skipped one of my extra classes recently or I dropped a rank in the monthly exam?

Lilac: They’re always fixated on these things... It’s all they ever remember!

(After catching up to Lilac)

Lilac: You also think the other students are correct, right?

Lilac: A Companion of Justice? What a joke! I fantasize all day long about being the chosen one, yet I can’t even control my daily life...

Lilac: But it’s my only dream... Why do you want to take that away from me?

Lilac: Stop following me! Don’t look at me... Please...

(After catching up to Lilac)

Lycaon: Miss Lilac, please, we have no ill intentions. And I do not agree with what those other students said about you.

Lycaon: I merely want to warn you that Mockingbird is suspicious. It is possible you may encounter danger if you go.

Lilac: Even if I’m in danger, it doesn’t concern you!

Lilac: In the end, you’re just an attendant that my parents hired... Why are you trying to stick your nose into everything?

Lilac: In any case, you’re probably just like those other people. You must think I’m a freak just like they do...

Lilac: Well, I’m soooo sorry that you’re forced to take care of someone who only causes trouble, who no one loves, who’s edgy and delusional like me.

Lycaon: I’ve never thought that.

Lycaon: Miss Lilac, you are the respectable, important employer of Victoria Housekeeping. We would never treat someone like yourself with such utter disrespect.

Lilac: ...But, you weren’t even willing to listen to what I said!

Lycaon: ...

Lycaon: My most sincere apologies. My knowledge is lacking; I have yet to better understand popular subcultures—such as what being “edgy” truly means.

Lycaon: I shall make sure to take lessons and educate myself on it.

I don’t think taking lessons is necessary...

Proxy:

(if Belle) I don’t think taking lessons on being edgy is necessary...

(if Wise) Is there really a need to take lessons on being edgy...?

I don’t think we can expect Lycaon to understand such edgy speech.

Proxy:

(if Belle) Let’s be real. It’s way too much to expect others to understand this edgy lingo! The only reason I can understand is... ’cause of natural talent. Yeah!

Lilac:It doesn’t matter anymore. This is all just the price I need to pay to become a Companion of Justice.

Lilac:I’ve bought the painting so I can finally meet with them. The people at Mockingbird told me that I’m the most promising recruit yet.

Lilac:I will join them, and become a Companion of Justice! You cannot stop me!

Lycaon: ...

Lycaon: I understand. If that is your wish, I will not stop you.

Lilac:You...

Lilac:I’m meeting with Mockingbird at the Ballet Twins at this time tomorrow.

Lilac:You know, I can, in fact, do this by myself. I don’t need you. I’ve got a Carrot, and I’ve prepared weapons to deal with the Ethereals.

Lilac:So... I don’t care if you come or not. It’s up to you.

Lilac leaves.

Lycaon: My apologies, I have brought shame to myself...

Lycaon: By making Miss Lilac feel uncomfortable, I have failed in my duties as an attendant.

Are you really going to do this?

Proxy:

(if Belle) Are you really going to do this? To help Lilac fulfill her wish...

(if Wise) Are you really going to do this? To help grant Lilac her wish?

Lycaon: Yes, I will. However, the wish I will help her fulfill, is what her heart truly desires.

Lycaon: If I’m correct in my suspicions, she doesn’t simply wish to join Mockingbird.

Lycaon: That’s only what’s on the surface. She has other needs—emotional needs—that are truly what she seeks to fulfill...

Lycaon: ...The fish has taken the bait.

Fish? Where?

Proxy:

(if Belle) Fish? What fish? Where?

(if Wise) By fish you mean...?

Lycaon: The organization calling itself Mockingbird has contacted me.

Lycaon: Master Proxy, may I ask you for a favor?

Lycaon: Please, this is something only you can do.

(After returning to the video store)

Sibling:

(if Belle) I definitely didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

(if Wise) I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

I feel sorry for Lilac...

Lilac is really stubborn.

Sibling: Yeah. But I never thought Lycaon come up [sic] with something like that...
