|
Alright, [Player]. Are you ready?
|
Player:
|
Ready for... what?
|
:
|
Hehe... Just give me a moment to set everything up, okay?
|
Player:
|
Painting?
|
Player:
|
Hey, there's no paint on these paintings!
|
:
|
That's right! I had a talk with Jun... And he had a lot to counsel me on. Actually, it was mostly things I'd already heard from you, but hearing it from Jun helped reaffirm everything. He told me that I should give painting another try... And it's something I want to do with you, [Player]. I've got everything we need together already.
|
Player:
|
How will painting help you?
|
:
|
Because we haven't painted them yet, silly. I had a talk with Jun... And he had a lot to counsel me on. Actually, it was mostly things I'd already heard from you, but hearing it from Jun helped reaffirm everything. He told me that I should give painting another try... And it's something I want to do with you, [Player]. I've got everything we need together already.

Player:

How will painting help you?

Jun explained that painting is an art that doesn't require perfection. In fact, it's actually about making little mistakes. Mistakes make something unique, and are a deeper reflection of the artist. Because perfection isn't possible - you can only try to hide imperfection, but doing so isn't honest to yourself.
|
Player:
|
I think that makes sense.
|
Player:
|
Whoa man, that's like, deeeeep.
|
:
|
It made me uncomfortable to think about what he said. But then I thought about it. I want to be honest to myself, [Player]. I'm... tired of not being honest to myself.
|
Player:
|
Honest with yourself?
|
:
|
I don't want to do something just because my it's something that my father wants me to do. I love him, and my mother, too... But I want to live my own life, I think...
|
Player:
|
Let's get to painting - I want to see what you make!
|
Player:
|
Less talky, more painty.
|
:
|
Okay! I have a good idea of what I think I'm going to paint. No peeking while I'm working! What are you going to paint, [Player]?
|
Player:
|
Hmm, let me see...
|
:
|
The world is your canvas! Or at least, this canvas is your canvas. Paint whatever inspires you!?
|
Player:
|
Paint a picture of Sun Haven.
|
You paint a bird's eye view of Sun Haven. You try to include everyone from town, but most of them come out looking like smudges of messy color. That brown spot KINDA looks like Emmett, right? Still, you think your painting is pretty good. Maybe not perfect, but pretty good.
|
Player:
|
Paint a picture of your farm.
|
You paint a picture of your farm, trying to capture all of your decorations and house. It's hard to fit such a big farm on a little canvas, though. You decide to add that Weedil guy, but then realize that was a bad idea. Still, you think your painting is pretty good. Maybe not perfect, but pretty good.
|
Player:
|
Paint a sick picture of Elios, with cool flames all over.
|
You draw Elios, large and powerful. Coating him is a wreath of red flames as he stands triumphantly at the top of his mountain peak. Well, actually, it looks more like a weird dog smothered in ketchup. Still, you think your painting is pretty good. Maybe not perfect, but pretty good.
|
:
|
How is your painting coming along, [Player]?
|
Player:
|
I'm not half-bad at this!
|
Player:
|
It looks bad, but hey, whatever.
|
:
|
I... don't know how to feel about mine.
|
Player:
|
I'm sure your painting is fine.
|
:
|
N-no... it looks bad. I'm only learning how to paint, so of course it's not good. I'm just going to stop.
|
Player:
|
You can do it, Miyeon.
|
Player:
|
Hey, weren't you going to learn to accept your flaws?
|
:
|
... Um... Well... I mean...
|
Player:
|
You got this.
|
:
|
Okay, fine. I'll try and finish it...
|
Player:
|
You can do it, Miyeon.
|
Player:
|
Forget about all the imperfections. Just paint what you want to paint.
|
:
|
...T-there! I finished it! And it's okay that it doesn't look perfect! Because... I had fun painting it, right?
|
Player:
|
Can I see it?
|
Player:
|
Let's see what you painted!
|
:
|
Oh! Um, well, it's done, but... ...I don't want to show it to you!
|
Player:
|
Why not?
|
:
|
Well, not yet, anyways. I'm sorry! I'm too embarrassed! ...I'll make you a deal, though. I'll show you this painting, if...
|
Player:
|
If?
|
:
|
IF we get married someday.
|
Player:
|
Married?
|
:
|
...Yeah! That's right, [Player]. I don't think our relationship is there yet, but I think we could be that way, someday... If we get married, I will have married the love of my life... but if we don't get married, I won't have to show you my painting. So that way... I win either way!
|
Player:
|
Very clever.
|
:
|
I can be clever when I have to be, hehe...
|
Player:
|
I didn't know you could be so sneaky...
|
:
|
S-sneaky? I'm just being strategic, like my father tells me to be. Hehe.
|
Player:
|
Fine, I won't peek at what you painted.
|
:
|
Thank you. I like that you don't try to rush me. You give me time to figure out how I feel about things. It makes me feel... safe. Um, well, our paintings are done. I didn't exactly think about what we'd do afterwards. Oh no, now it's getting awkward, isn't it?
|
Player:
|
Let's just watch the stars together.
|
Player:
|
Stop worrying and look at the stars with me.
|
:
|
The stars?
|
:
|
Yeah... this is nice.
|
Player:
|
This is all we need, Miyeon.
|
Player:
|
Yeah, stars are pretty and it's FREE to look at them!
|
:
|
Hey, [Player]?
|
Player:
|
Yeah?
|
:
|
...Thank you.
