Conversation in the Attic
Leonard: Let's go to the attic, Feather. The story is coming to a head.
Task: Go through the attic in the shadows mode.
The room is changing: blue light is shining through the window, Leo is sitting on the table right below it. He is folding another new flower. It's a rose.
Suddenly the hatch opens, and Leonard quickly hides the rose in a drawer, and there is...
Leo: Marie? I am so glad that you are back!
Marie: Hello, Leo...
Leo: I have so much to tell you. When you left, I thought...
Marie: That I was going to stay with Uncle Robert? Yeah, I wanted to, but decided that it was stupid to hide from the future.
Leo: You know, that day when you left I was going to come see you, but instead ran into Caleb...
Marie: Look, Leo. Stepmother said I should stop seeing you.
As she said these words, Mary blushed and turned away, and Leonard jerked as if struck.
Marie: She says that it is improper for a respectable lady to be alone with a man. Especially... with a servant.
Leo: Why, Marie? We are just talking and playing. What could possibly be improper about it?
Marie: I don't know, Leo. But Madame said if I behave properly, I can come to the ball next weekend... Please try to understand. This is a chance for me! I am sorry. I have to go lest Lynette gets angry.
Silhouettes are beginning to blur, light becomes normal. You see the familiar attic around you.
You completed Leonard's task. You received some points of freedom and some tokens.
Leonard: I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Marie was back, but there was a distance between us. However, I did not despair. On the contrary, I knew exactly what to do.
