Huh? But isn't it your palace?

[shaft]

Oh. I ran away from home when I was a kid. They probably don't even know I'm alive.

[mustbepurged]

[!?]

Why did you do that...?

[shaft]

Ah... It's a long story. [ he rubs the back of his head ] Sometimes families don't get along, you know?

[mustbepurged]

[A very concerned look at that.] Yes... I know.

I'm sorry... that must have been hard.

[shaft]

It's alright. [ pats her shoulder ] I appreciate the concern, Estelle. You never stop caring, hm?

[mustbepurged]

Huh? [An uncertain smile.] I don't know how not to...

[shaft]

It's not a bad thing. I wasn't trying to imply that I minded.

[mustbepurged]

[A warmer smile.] Good. Because I'd keep caring about you whether you minded or not.

[shaft]

[ stop that's embarrassing ]

You know that you're appreciated, right Estelle?
