Jeanne had finally confessed to Diego that she loved him... but Diego was still... a little uncertain. His wife had died a long time ago, but... was he really allowed to start a new relationship? He wanted to talk to someone about it... He was too embarrassed to ask Mona... so instead, he asked... someone with experience.
Nacht: "How the fuck am I supposed to help you with that, rookie?"
Of course... it was Nacht.
(Flashback)
They stayed awake and watched the movie.
Diego: "Aaaaaarghh!"
Jeanne: "Hhehe... Diego, you're so cute."
Diego: "What? Of course I'm scared... and those two already fell asleep..."
Jeanne: "Just leave them."
Jeanne leaned against his shoulder.
Jeanne: "You still have me."
Then she rested her head on his stomach, and all he could see was her face.
Diego: "Hey..."
Jeanne: "...You're really cute."
Diego: "Mmmm..."
(Meanwhile)
Emma: "Hehehe... they watched the movie... Hehe... that was adorable."
Luuk: "Come on now, Emma. You shouldn't be watching them."
Emma: "Oh, don't be such a buzzkill... Oh... wait... Are they about to kiss?!"
Luuk: "What? Who?"
Emma: "The blonde girl and the black haired guy."
Luuk: "Let me see... Ughhhh..."
Emma: "Haaahhh...(Blushes)... Yeah... they did."
Luuk: "...And it even lasted... quite a while."
(Back to the others)
Diego: "Ughh."
Jeanne placed her hand on his cheek.
Jeanne: "...Hmm?"
Diego: "Jeanne... are you... in love with me?"
Jeanne: "Who knows... what do you think?"
Diego: "Ugh... yes."
Jeanne: "No... I'm crazy about you."
Diego: "Uh... but we barely know each other."
Jeanne: "Maybe... is that a problem for you?"
Diego: "...No... but for now... let's keep it between us."
Jeanne: "Sure."
(End of the flashback)
Diego: "Do you understand now?"
Nacht: "Damn... I have to admit, that sounded pretty serious... but why ask me, rookie?... Do I look like someone who has several women?"
Diego: "But you're together with Kisa..."
Nacht: "Listen to my advice... Go with Jeanne. She loves you. Rose loved you... but you didn't love her... so tell me now... do you love Jeanne?... You can forget about Mona anyway... This is your last chance to be with a decent woman."
Diego: "Well... sounds like you like Jeanne."
Nacht looked at him for a moment and thought quietly.
Nacht: "I have to say... Jeanne really helped us... and thanks to her, I was able to save Kisa... I think she's a wonderful woman... That's why I wonder why... she chose you."
Diego: "Huh?"
Nacht: "You treated Rose like complete shit. Do you realize that?... Even when she died... you didn't show anything. Rose even cried because she believed you loved her..."
Diego: "That's not true."
Nacht: "What?... Then what?... Why did you never tell her you loved her? Why did you never hug her? Even when she was dying... you never comforted her..."
Diego: "Mmm."
Nacht: "The question isn't whether you deserve Jeanne... It's whether she deserves... you... Did you hear me?"
Diego: "Mmmm..."
Diego left the room.
Diego: "Mmm..."
(Flashback)
Rose: "You don't love me..."
(End of the flashback)
Diego: "...(Silent)..."
Mona: "Huh?... Diego?"
Diego: "Oh, Mona... tell me... do you think I was cruel to Rose?"
Mona: "You're cruel to every woman... Hmph."
She walked away.
Diego: "Ugh..."
Diego kept walking.
Kisa: "Huh?... What's wrong, Diego?"
Diego: "Kisa... tell me... was I cruel to Rose?"
Kisa: "...Uh... I don't know, Diego... I can't really talk about something like that. I'm sorry."
Diego nodded and walked over to Charlotte.
Charlotte: "Hmm?... What's wrong, sad prince?"
Diego: "Huh?... Um... Charlotte... Was I cruel to Rose?"
Charlotte: "What?... Uh... Hahh..."
She sighed softly, put her things down, walked over to Diego, and patted his shoulder.
Charlotte: "I know most people say that... but... I don't think you were."
Diego: "Huh?"
She walked past him.
Diego: "...Huh?... Wh... What do you mean?"
Charlotte: "I think... when Rose told you that you didn't love her... it was just... a thought she had because she was sick. Don't destroy yourself over it, and don't listen to Nacht or Mona... I know what they mean... but... Rose technically forced you into marrying her..."
She continued walking away.
Diego: "Mmm."
(Pat! Pat!)
Diego: "...Hmm?"
Jeanne: "Diego..."
Diego: "...Mmm."
He quietly walked away from her.
Jeanne: "Huh?"
Charlotte: "Hahhh... Good grief, Nacht and Mona."
Jeanne: "Mm!"
Jeanne walked over to Nacht.
(Crash!)
Nacht: "And here we go..."
Jeanne: "What's your problem, huh?!"
Mona: "Huh?"
Jeanne: "Why are you being so mean to Diego?"
Mona: "Ask his dead wife."
Nacht: "Indeed."
Jeanne: "Hey... I don't care, okay?... This is unbelievable... Why do you always think it's the guy's fault, huh?... Women can be cruel too. You, for example, Mona!"
Mona: "Me?!... Do you even know what you're talking about?"
Nacht: "Oh no... girls fighting..."
Nacht flashed a peace sign and disappeared.
Mona: "You think you know him or something?"
Kisa: "Huh? What's going on?"
Kisa looked over, but Charlotte stopped her.
Charlotte: "They need to learn to stop blaming Diego for everything, Kisa."
Mona: "He was in love with me... but because he's such a pervert, he went with Rose because she couldn't wait."
Jeanne: "Oh yeah?... And that's supposed to justify it?"
Mona: "Yeah... for me it does."
Jeanne: "...Ghhh... Then listen carefully... Diego... will come to me... whether you like it or not."
Mona: "I don't care!... It was my mistake for loving him... but instead he went after someone else... Do you really think he loves you?... Hehehe... He's only after your body."
Jeanne: "He's changed."
Mona: "Guys never change."
Jeanne: "Oh really?... Yeah... women can be cruel too."
Mona: "Who abuses people more, huh?... Who loses their mind the moment they see a woman's breasts, huh?"
Jeanne: "Not every guy is like that."
Mona: "True... but the one you love is... Besides... I was raped by a man... That's why Diego never chose me... He didn't even love Rose..."
Jeanne: "Ugh."
Jeanne hesitated for a moment. She still didn't fully understand why Mona hated Diego so much... but she finally understood why Mona was so afraid of men.
Mona: "Now everyone knows... thanks to you... So... thanks."
She stormed out of the room.
Charlotte: "Hahhh... that really backfired... But it's still unfair to treat Diego like that."
Jeanne: "Oh... um..."
Charlotte: "Go to him. I'll go after her. It's okay... there's no need to worry."
Charlotte went after Mona while Jeanne headed toward Diego.
Kisa: "Hahh."
Nacht: "Oh boy."
Kisa: "(Sweating)... Where did you even come from?"
Nacht had been hiding inside the closet the entire time.
Nacht: "Sorry... I don't like watching girls fight."
Jeanne walked over to Diego.
Diego: "Huh?"
Jeanne: "Diego."
Diego: "...I didn't treat her badly... That was never my intention."
Jeanne: "I know... I know."
Diego: "But Mona is right... We were in love... and I betrayed her."
Jeanne: "Mmm."
Diego: "Are you sure... you still want to talk to me?"
Jeanne: "...Of course I do."
(Meanwhile)
Charlotte: "Mona."
Mona: "What?... Can't I even cry in peace?"
Mona curled up in a corner.
Charlotte: "Is it true... you... um..."
Mona: "Yeah... I was abused by a man when I was a child... I was lost and looking for a place to sleep... then... that group showed up... and... I don't have to tell you the rest."
Charlotte sat down beside her.
Charlotte: "I'm so sorry... Mona."
Mona: "It's okay... Diego didn't do anything wrong... It's... it's just... my trauma."
Charlotte: "I understand why you're afraid... but... don't let it consume you, okay?"
Mona: "Yeah."
They sat there quietly and waited.
(Flashback)
He leaned closer... and gently bit her ear.
Rose: "Mmmm...(Blushes)...(This is embarrassing)... Mmm..."
Diego: "Now... you..."
Rose: "Okay..."
She did the same.
Diego: "(...Fuck... she smells so nice...)... She's so beautiful."
She had white hair... and golden eyes...
Rose: "Mm... so... now... we're... a couple..."
Diego: "Good."
Rose: "And... your friends?"
Diego: "Ah... it'll be fine."
(A few minutes later)
Kisa: "Häää!"
Nacht: "Hööö!!"
Charlotte: "Wh... what?!"
Mona: "Ughh... you two... are a couple now?"
Rose: "(Blushes)... Mmm."
Diego: "Yep..."
Charlotte: "You take your eyes off him for one second, and suddenly they're dating... Please don't tell me you already fu(Bleep)..."
Diego: "No... no... not yet."
Rose: "Ugh... not yet?... Were you actually... planning to?... Mmm...(Blushes)."
Nacht: "Hahhh... You do realize she tried to kill us."
Diego: "Me... She only wanted to kill me."
Mona: "That makes it even worse."
Diego: "Because she was lonely... These powers killed her family."
Rose: "I... I can leave if you want."
Diego: "No... Then I'll go with her."
Nacht: "Hahh... Alright, Romeo... Good grief... I don't care."
Kisa: "Me... neither... as long as... she doesn't do anything."
Mona: "Well... I don't mind either."
Charlotte: "Hahhh... Whatever... Hmph."
(End of the flashback)
Diego: "That's how it happened."
Jeanne: "I understand... It's okay. I don't think badly of you."
Diego: "...Mona was really hurt... and... I ended up bringing back her fear of men..."
Jeanne: "Talk to her."
Diego: "She refuses."
Jeanne: "Come on... it'll work..."
She stepped closer.
Diego: "Please... stay away from me... I'm trash."
Jeanne: "No."
Diego: "...Hahh."
(Meanwhile)
Emma: "Oh dear... this seems serious."
Luuk: "Stop spying on them. That's not something you should do."
Emma: "Oh, be quiet... I stopped when they started arguing, but you can still hear them shouting."
Luuk: "Oh."
(Meanwhile)
Mona: "...(Silent)... I think... I should just give up on ever having a relationship..."
Charlotte: "Don't give up."
Mona: "Hahh... Maybe I should become a lesbian?"
Charlotte: "(Sweating)... Th... that's... your decision... but... I know you're not."
Mona: "Yeah... you're right..."
Charlotte: "Come on... you're still young. You have time."
Mona: "Hmm."
Mona quietly stared at the sun for a moment.
Mona: "...Stroke my... head... please."
Charlotte: "Why?"
Mona: "Because I'm about to cry again."
Charlotte: "Hahhh."
Charlotte pulled Mona closer and hugged her.
Charlotte: "There... are you satisfied now?"
Mona: "...(Sniff)... Yeah... this is better."
