REPLYSuch a serious request?
Go ahead, I'm listening.
As a matter of etiquette, friends shouldn't just hit each other up for favors in their professional domain.
Beyond your duties as a Proxy, your main gig is running a video store, right?
Real talk — one of your friends recommended a film to me.
I'm a little curious…
REPLYRecommended by a friend of mine?
So what's the film exactly?
It's a film called "Oh~ Sweetie"
Your buddy also said… (BelleBelle /
It'd be even better if I could invite you to watch it together.
REPLYNo problem!
Leave it to me!
Impressive work, as expected!

- Sigrid: The cover of this film...
- (Talk to Sigrid)
- Sigrid: (Wise, I've been waiting ages for today's screening!Wise, I've been waiting ages for today's screening! /
Belle, I've been looking forward to today's movie for so long!Belle, I've been looking forward to today's movie for so long!)[verification needed] - Sigrid: Apparently, it tells a classic tale set in the old days and the surface cities. I'm quite looking forward to it.
You know what this film's about?- But will it go the way you're imagining?
- Sigrid: Whatever the movie turns out to be like, the most important thing is... this is an essential part of an "old-fashioned date"!
- Sigrid: And since your friend recommended it so wholeheartedly, I'm sure it will be a good choice!
The following is recorded in the Partner Archive
The Case for Old-Fashioned RomanceStory Description: You watch the film Oh~ Sweetie together with Sigrid. A movie date, a heartbeat that quietly quickens, warmth that creeps into the cheeks — the essential ingredients of an old-fashioned date.
- Sigrid: This must be that famous romance movie — "Oh~ Sweetie."
- Sigrid: The woman on the cover seems to have an air of classic charm about her.
- Sigrid's taste in movies is something else...
- Didn't expect Sigrid to be into this.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (It's pretty hard to imagine you would be into a movie like Oh~ Sweetie.It's pretty hard to imagine you would be into a movie like Oh~ Sweetie. /
I really can't believe you'd be into a movie like Oh~ Sweetie.I really can't believe you'd be into a movie like Oh~ Sweetie.) - Sigrid: That's because it's a must for any "old-fashioned date."
- Old-fashioned date...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): "Any old-fashioned... date"? What exactly do you mean by that?
- Sigrid: Lady Lindverne always said the classic dating playbook goes like this: eat dinner, go for a stroll, and then settle in for a romantic movie together.
- She even taught you this?!
- You sure seem to know a little bit about everything.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Lady Lindverne... even taught you about this?
- Sigrid: Naturally. She knows a little bit about everything... Of course, I have also been brushing up on the relevant materials myself lately... After all, as Lady Lindverne's second-in-command, I should be well-versed too!
- Sigrid: Sure, I may not know much about dating or romantic movies... but since you invited me over to watch one at your place, I'd say this certainly counts as a date!
- Sigrid: And since we are on a date, we must respect the dating traditions!
- Sigrid: Plus, a proxy friend of mine earnestly recommended it to me!
- Sigrid: So, in the end, I decided to see what this film is all about.
- Just before "Oh~ Sweetie" starts playing, Sigrid pulls out a bucket of popcorn from nowhere.
Apparently, popcorn is also an essential part of what she calls a "classic date." - "Oh~ Sweetie" stars Monica, Billy's favorite actress, in a bold romantic tale of a beautiful amnesiac navigating the mysteries of an unfamiliar city. The movie features scenes so daring, they're guaranteed to make your heart race.
- The film ends with the lead characters sharing a goodbye kiss. Sigrid stays quiet for a long moment, with her face turning bright red.
- Sigrid...?
- Your face is pretty red right now...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Sigrid? You okay...?Sigrid? You okay...? /
You okay, Sigrid...?You okay, Sigrid...?) Your face is turning pretty red... - Sigrid: ...
- Sigrid: It's not just my blushing cheeks... I've noticed my heart racing and temperature spiking too...
- Sigrid: But it's okay, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle)! I've done my research — this is all just... a normal reaction to an old-fashioned date in progress... - Glad you're okay...
- Who in the world recommended this film to you?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I'm glad you're okay... but who on earth recommended "Oh~ Sweetie" to you? I can't imagine who...
- Sigrid: I'm afraid you're overthinking it. Honestly, in terms of the story, I'd say that was a real amazing movie.
- Sigrid: In the end, Monica recovered her memories but chose to stay in the unfamiliar city.
- Sigrid: Like a lost wanderer who found their true self in a new place to call home.
- Sigrid: Yes, there are some pretty... bold shots and scenes in there, but at its core, the script is really about finding your identity.
- Sigrid: Such a theme is definitely worth pondering, regardless of whether you're in New Eridu or Roscaelifer.
- You were watching so intently!
- Now that's some deep analysis!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): You really took the movie seriously! I didn't expect such deep thoughts to come out of a romance film, of all things.
- Sigrid: Some of the scenes were just way too... Ah, I must quickly think about something serious, or else...
- Sigrid: But either way, the whole point of an old-fashioned date is not just about what movie you watch — it's about who you watch it with.
- Sigrid: Just being able to see a movie with you today has been most enjoyable!
- Sigrid: As for this videotape, I'll keep it safe... A little souvenir to remember this moment.
- Sigrid: After all, a keepsake packed with memories is a must for any old-fashioned date, right?
- (Sigrid can now promote the video store.)
- (Idle)
- Sigrid: I shall take good care of it!
- (Talk to Sigrid again, optional)
- Sigrid: A souvenir full of memories is another must for an old-fashioned date.
- Sigrid: Still, that really was a heart-pounding movie...
