Reina x Setsuna C
Music: Unfamiliar Streets
REINA: Hello Setsuna. Caught in yet another trap I see...
SETSUNA: Oh, hello Reina! Long time no see!
REINA: Indeed! I've come to let you know that I've received a letter from your parents.
REINA: They're checking in to make sure that you're alright. And seeing as you haven't died, I'll just tell them that you are.
SETSUNA: Thank you very much! I'm glad to have met your expectations...
REINA: There was something else in that letter as well... It looks like it's that time of the year again.
SETSUNA: Really? I'm happy for you!
SETSUNA: But... isn't that kind of personal?
REINA: What do you-
REINA: *sigh* Setsuna, pay attention... I said time of the YEAR!
REINA: As in, the twin's birthday is coming up pretty soon! Mitsuru and Hanabi, remember?
SETSUNA: Oh yeah...
SETSUNA: I should probably go visit them...
REINA: Probably... And I was thinking that this time, you could actually... you know, bring them a gift?
SETSUNA: Sure...
SETSUNA: Can I borrow some money Reina?
REINA: Oh no! Last time you lost the money I gave you!
REINA: Why do you even need my money anyway? I'm sure Lady Hinoka pays you... for all the... um... correct?
SETSUNA: Of course she does... But I keep losing it in places...
REINA: And here I was hoping becoming Lady Hinoka's retainer would temper you somewhat. You appear to be as irresponsible now as you were back then...
SETSUNA: I do try to keep myself staying young, thank you!
REINA: ... *sigh* I want to be upset with you but... I suppose how you ended up couldn't...
REINA: ...be helped. Your parents are kind people, they were even there for me when my own parents weren't...
REINA: But that kindness led to them spoiling their children something awful.
SETSUNA: ...This is true.
SETSUNA: It's not so bad though. I asked them to give me a sister... and now I have two!
SETSUNA: They even went so far as to pay one of the servants since Mother was too old to-
REINA: Yes, I'm aware of that. They truly go... above and beyond.
REINA: ...Ironically, you're probably the only thing keeping Mitsuru and Hanabi from ending up like you...
REINA: According to this letter, they have begun archery training because they admire their "Big Sis Setsuna" so much.
SETSUNA: They do?
SETSUNA: ...Why?
REINA: I suppose being a retainer to Lady Hinoka has made you something of a hero to them.
REINA: It's given them a goal that can't be obtained with money. Which I suppose is much more than you ever had growing up.
REINA: Sorry, I didn't mean for that to come out so harshly...
SETSUNA: No, it's fine. And I'm happy they're doing so well.
SETSUNA: I don't know if I can live up to their expectations though... What if the present I get isn't good enough and they hate me for it?
REINA: That's why I propose you make them a gift! Show them that you can be responsible.
REINA: And such a personal gesture would mean much more to children who can buy anything...
SETSUNA: Hmm... that sounds good! I'll need some time to think on what to get them though...
REINA: That's fine. And of course I'll assist you in any way I can. For now, let me just get you down from here...
SETSUNA: Actually Reina, if it's all the same to you, I think a lot more clearly when in a trap...
REINA: Heh. If you say so. Just let me know when you're ready.
