Re: THE GALLERY OF MEMORIES

I feel intrusive being here, then. Do you think Ritsuka would want me out?

"I think she'd be more embarrassed than upset to find you here," Da Vinci says dryly. "The three of us aside, these are the memories of her exploits. So you won't find any clues here, but you'll at least get some interesting viewing, if that's what you want."

. . . No. That wouldn't be right. She'll tell me anything she wants me to know; I shouldn't be here much longer.

[he nods at da vinci—thank you—and approaches the eavesdropping man.]

He's a pleasant-looking young man, though he looks vaguely embarrassed to have been caught out, straightening up as Des approaches.

"Ah--yes? Can I help you?"

Re: THE GALLERY OF MEMORIES

[eudaimoniac]

I just want to know if you have any advice. If you might know where the ring could be.

Re: THE GALLERY OF MEMORIES

The man pauses, giving him a long, careful look.

"...Well. It's his ring, and he hid it, but it's in Ritsuka's heart. Where would a teenaged girl hide something? Think about that."

Re: THE GALLERY OF MEMORIES

[eudaimoniac]

Because I'm so privy to what teenage girls think.

All right. That helps a little; thank you.

The man laughs--a commiserating sound--and nods, waving him off.

He can either go back the way he came, or he can head to the other end of the gallery.

[he goes back and tries the second door.]

Re: THE GALLERY OF MEMORIES

[fujimaru]

The door opens.
