Cinder: I have some free time before lunch so Iām exploring the hotel.
Cinder: What a large garden!
Rhodes: * tootles by* Haah! Haah!
Rhodes: Huhh! Huhh! Huhh! Huhh!
Cinder: Were you playing around in the garden?
Amina: *appears* Well, the weather is nice today.
Amina: *checks her watch* Oh, itās time to make lunch. *attaches leash to Rhodes* Rose, time to go home.
Rhodes: *resists the pull off the leash* Hnngh!
Cinder: Umā¦Why donāt I take him back to his room?
Cinder: If itās no troubleā¦Iād really like to do it.
Cinder: *carrying Rhodes* Back to exploring the hotel with Rose.
Rhodes: *hops down from Cinderās arms and scampers around the corner*
Cinder: Rose is responding to something! *looks around the corner to find Lenalee reading in a gazebo* Oh, thatāsā¦Big Sister Lee! Big Sister Lee is the eldest daughter of the family and normally comes across as kind of cold. But she looks quite innocent when sheās reading a book.
Maid: Maāam, your tea. *places a tea tray on the table*
Lee: Thank you. *notices something* Hm? Whatās this? Your button is about to fall off?
Maid: Iām so sorry! *turns to leave*
Lee: *grabs the maidās sleeve, pulls a pair of thread shears, and clips the loose button*
Lee: Better to remove it now before it gets lost during work. Donāt forget to sew it back on.
Maid: Thank you very muchā¦Please donāt tell the Head Maid about this.
Lee: Like Iād waste my time doing that.
Maid: Againā¦Iām so sorry.
Cinder: Big Sister Lee always speaks so bluntlyā¦
Lee: The rules for the Glass Familyās servants are very strict. But if Miss Faye fires you over something like thisā¦Iād no longer be able to drink your tea. Not that Iām telling you to not take pride in your appearance.
Cinder: But her words are actually very thoughtful.
Cinder: Big Sister Lee is so coolā¦I admire her a lot. *picks up Rhodes and continues their exploration*
Voice in the Distance: Lady Amanda, the gardener will take care of the flowerbeds.
Cinder: That voice⦠*turns to find a concerned housekeeper and custodian*
Housekeeper: Itās unbefitting for a lady of your standing to befoul her hands with dirt!
Ama: Am I to understandā¦You think me incapable of gardening?
Housekeeper: Wh-Why noā¦Not at all!
Cinder: The second eldest daughter, Amanda, has a smile that can make chills run down your back. Howeverā¦
Ama: I need to know more about plants to understand flower arrangementsā¦Please teach me.
Custodian: Let me get my tools.
Cinder: Sheās good at making tea and dancing too. This may be the result of all the hard work she does in secret.
Housekeeper: Would you like us to call for Lady Lenalee to learn with you?
Ama: You must be jokingā¦Iām fine on my own.
Cinder: Big Sister Amanda is very kind to meā¦However, she always fights with Big Sister Lenalee. Maybe they donāt get along well? Itās not my place to pry.
Cinder: But I feel like thatās a little lonelyā¦
Ama: Now, then. Iām sure Lenalee will take a stroll around this area tomorrow. *pacing back and forth* Sheāll notice the Gerbera Daisies and come closer for a better lookā¦I should dig a pit for her near there.
Ama: *shakes her head* No, such an uncertain strategy might get Cinder caught in the crossfire.
Ama: Lenalee might not even realize the flowers have been changedā¦Perhaps, I should do something to the fountain instead?
Cinder: *continued stare*
Ama: No, that wonāt workā¦Lenalee wouldnāt do something like this. *clenches her fists* Ughā¦At this rateā¦Iāll never be able to provoke Lenalee! *on the verge of tears* Pleaseā¦give me strength!
Cinder: *sweat-drop stare*
Cinder: *bring Rhodes up to her face*
Cinder: There might be other types of āclosenessā that Iāve yet to understand.
Cinder: You have a very big room, Rose. *gently pets Rhodes* Itās so nice!
Voice in the Distance: *yammer, yammer*
Cinder: Huh? *opens the door to find Amina Faye talking to one of the maids*
Amina: How could a servant of the Glass family do something like this!
Amina: I canāt believe you kicked over the bucket of cleaning water. It shows a lack of focus on your work.
Laura: Is there a problem, here?
Amina: Iām terribly sorry! I was careless and got the floor dirty! Iāll clean it upā¦
Laura: No need to lie. You two areā¦to change your clothes first! Youāll catch your death if you stay wet!
Laura: Thereās no need to fuss over a dirty floor that can be wiped up.
Laura: More importantly werenāt you planning to leave early to visit your sick mother today?
Maid: How does Madam know�
Amina: Is that why youāve been so restless today?
Laura: I just happened to hear about it. There should be some Gerbera Daisies blooming in the garden. You should take some with you for your mother.
Maid: Thā¦Thank you very much!
Cinder: Mommy isā¦quite strict, kind, and sometimes playful. But thatās not allā¦At the places I used to work forā¦the owners hardly ever considered the workers. I had assumed it to be the normā¦Here, Mommy even takes the flowers in the garden into consideration.
Cinder: Ever since coming hereā¦Iāve been surprised by so many things.
Cinder: Mother. This family is full of new things. As a member of this familyā¦Will I be able to become as wonderful as they are? It may be arrogant to think this. Butā¦Iām going to try my best! Mother, please continueā¦to listen to the stories about my new family.
