DateMarie: During that month I’ve rarely seen Leonard. First house arrest, than Christmas cares, and after that uncle’s arrival. So I decided to leave the ball early and go see Leo at the attic. Task: Find an unknown item in the attic in ghosts mode. You will not find the item immediately. Marie: Hello, Leo. Marie: Leo, are you here? The hatch cover moves aside and Marie in her ball dress comes up to the dusty attic. There’s no one here, but a new candle is burning on the table. Looks like Leonard has left the room just recently. Marie comes to the table. Music and voices can be heard from the chimney — there are last dances in the lounge. There is an unusual Christmas card on the table next to the candle. It’s put together from several layers of paper and looks volumetric. Marie takes it in her hands, reading the inscription. Fog: Happy Christmas, Marie. Marie turns around abruptly, dropping the card to the table. Leo: Sorry if I scared you. The hatch was opened and I’m used to walking the stairs without a sound. I wanted to give this to you before Christmas, but couldn’t find the right moment... Marie: And what about your "under-door gift" style? Leonard is slightly embarrassed. Leo: That’s not how I wanted to do it this time. I was planning to give it to you personally and wish happiness. But looks like I failed... Marie: Not at all, Leo. You’ve already wished me happiness, and this is the most beautiful card I’ve ever received for Christmas! Leo: Do you really like it? Marie: Of course, as well as the paper butterfly. And if you want to do things personally, why don’t you ask me for a dance? Leo: Can I? Marie: Why not? I’m wearing a ball dress and we can hear the music perfectly from here. Leo: Then I am asking. But… I haven’t danced in a long time. Actually I almost never did. Marie: It’s all right, I will teach you. You take my right hand, put your left on my waist, like this. And now you take a step forward and to the right. Don’t be afraid to step on my foot. Great, and now pull up your left foot, turn and voila! We’re already dancing, Leo! For another minute you watch them spinning in a dance, then the music stops and the vision vanishes. You completed the task and received some points of freedom and some tokens Marie: Dancing with Leonard was nothing like dancing with uncle. This time I was the one to lead my partner, and while his moves were not very confident, he was trying to do his best. One thing we had in common though — I felt at ease with him too. |
