Dia Ep. 28: The Dearest of Friends
You and Dia go to check out an art gallery. After viewing the permanent exhibition, you finally make your way to the special exhibition. You're moved by the marvelous works, but then Dia notices something about one of them.
Player
We're finally at the special exhibition. I'm getting excited! I wanna see all the artwork already!
Dia
Now, now, there's no need to rush. They aren't going anywhere. Let's take our time looking around.
Player
You're right. Okay, let's go!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Wooow! These are all amazing works! Aren't they incredible, Dia?
Dia
…………
Player
What's the matter?
Dia
It's just, this painting…
Player
It's a portrait. The title is “Friends.” It depicts two girls around our age nestled closely together… I bet they're the best of friends.
Dia
Yes. Irreplaceable best friends… You can really tell how much they trust each other.
Player
The one on the right looks like you, Dia, with that long hair and those dignified features.
Dia
What?!
Player
Ah, sorry! I was being weird, wasn't I? Forget I said anything!
Dia
No, it doesn't bother me. It's just that…I was actually thinking how the one on the left reminded me of you…
Player
You were? Now that you mention it, I suppose I can kinda see it… Huh, isn't that something.
Dia
U-Um, would you mind if we…held hands?
Player
Whaaa?! I don't mind, but…it's not like you to ask. What's the matter?
Dia
Nothing, really. I was just…feeling somewhat jealous.
Player
Jealous? Of those two girls in the painting?
Dia
You do not have to spell it out… Wait, what are you laughing at?!
| Option 1: “I can't believe you're jealous of a painting.” |
|---|
| Player Sorry, sorry. I just wasn't expecting you to be jealous of people in a painting. I guess that's the power of an artist's passion, huh? Dia Right, that's how much it moved me! So let's hold… No, let's link arms! |
| Option 2: “Are you sure you'll be satisfied with just holding hands?” |
| Player I was just thinking it was cute, that's all. Are you sure you'll be satisfied with just holding hands? Wouldn't we feel like closer friends if we linked arms instead? Dia …You're right. Well then, here I go. |
Player
Huh?! Y-You're really…?!
Dia
*Giggle* Now you're the one making the cute face.
Player
A-Are you teasing me?! You're mean, Dia!
Dia
Were you not laughing at me when I told you I wanted to hold hands? You're no better than I am.
Dia
All right, let's move on to the next picture. There are many more left to see in the exhibition, after all.
Player
Okay then. Can we go around arm in arm being best pals?
Dia
Yes. I won't let you go.
