princess maker - Taisho Roman Revolution

[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find the room inside looks like the living room of a mansion. There are several doors, but one in particular stands out to you: it is ornately decorated, the very door's wood itself carved beautifully with gold etched in to make luxurious patterns depicting what looks like the sky and the wind blowing through the grasslands. Though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent.

The room is painted baby blue and a gold-plated cradle sits in the room. Inside, a baby cries - high pitched and noisy, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back to sleep. ]

-

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby sits up, trying to climb out of her cradle; a little toddler dressed prettily with expensive clothes beams pleasantly; a tantrum, thrown by the little girl who's distressed; the little girl holding a puppy, pleased as punch; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever is curled up beside her.

This is your little girl. you couldn't help spoiling her, honestly - after all, she's a noble too, and she should like to become a princess as well. She deserves it! But you also know, with how your history's gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. Still, you have faith in her - she's your girl, after all. ]

It isn't wrong, not necessarily. But art isn't the only form of happiness there is, even for an artist.

Perhaps, but I think I am not the best-suited to be giving advice on that. My happiness stems from my art, after all.

Do you really think so? Even though from my perspective, you're actually quite interested in the world and the people around you, and rather easy to please. Haven't you been granted some joys in any number of things, already?

Maki said something similar. It is true that I've experienced happiness in several different ways... but, as an artist, shouldn't my greatest joy come from creating? I cannot think of something better than that.

I don't really understand it, but you're a person first, and an artist second. Even if your hands were cut off, you wouldn't cease to feel.

The same is true of Samira. Didn't she become like this because of our influence? She came to love to create because it was a way of connecting with us, her family. Art is a tool at her disposal in the pursuit of her own happiness and ideals. It isn't the only reason she exists.

No, of course not--I did not mean to imply that it is the only reason for her existence.

You have a good heart, Fox. We'll be needing it soon.

[fox goes still, his breath caught in his throat all of a sudden]

I... that's...

[looks up at him, expression hopeful but confused]

I do not understand?

Because we're going to end up sheltering Plague Bearers. Show them kindness, when we do, won't you?

[something is happening in my feelings]

... of course. We must break this cycle of injustice.
