...Has anyone else ever found a particular item in the shop, and thought that it must have been placed there to taunt you? Would the Malnosso even commit such a petty act? At least it should match the pansies...

[With that said, Cecil can be found at any point on the road between the item shop and house 32, bearing... a flower in a small vase?]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, thank you! That's a very nice thing to say.

[Okay, minute's up! Mourning's done.]

[paladinlost]

You were the first of us to say it.

[Yay! ...Good riddance.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, was I?

[Indeed.]

[paladinlost]

...Yes, you were.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, all right. [She's sure Cecil is right.]

[paladinlost]

I'd not lie to you about such matters.

[Worry about her memory, though...]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I know you wouldn't. You're my friend.

[paladinlost]

I know friends who lie to each other, at times.

[lostinmyway]

[She's honestly puzzled.] Why would they do that?

[paladinlost]

For a thousand reasons or none, depending on their whims.

[lostinmyway]

But that isn't very nice. You aren't supposed to lie to your friends.

[paladinlost]

Many things happen that are not supposed to.

[lostinmyway]

Yes, that's right, but that still doesn't mean it's good to lie to your friends.

[paladinlost]

Should we find anyone who does, you'll have to remind them.

[lostinmyway]

All right. I will. It's very important for them to know that.

[paladinlost]

They'll even listen, if you are lucky.

[lostinmyway]

Why wouldn't they listen?

[paladinlost]

Because people can be terribly stubborn.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but it's very important. I'm sure they'll understand.

[paladinlost]

...You believe in people quite a lot, don't you.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes. It's very important to believe in others, so they can be strong and do their best.

[paladinlost]

I believe in people as much as I can, but they make it hard, sometimes.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but that's when it's even more important to believe in others. Because that's when they need it most.

[paladinlost]

What is they need it but refuse it?

[lostinmyway]

Then you just keep believing in them until they don't refuse it anymore.
