Cinder: I have some free time before lunch so I’m 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, it’s time to make lunch. *attaches leash to Rhodes* Rose, time to go home.
Rhodes: *resists the pull off the leash* Hnngh!
Cinder: Um…Why don’t I take him back to his room?
Cinder: If it’s no trouble…I’d really like to do it.
Cinder: *carrying Rhodes* Back to exploring the hotel with Rose.
Rhodes: *hops down from Cinder’s arms and scampers around the corner*
Cinder: Rose is responding to something! *looks around the corner to find Lenalee reading in a gazebo* Oh, that’s…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 she’s reading a book.
Maid: Ma’am, your tea. *places a tea tray on the table*
Lee: Thank you. *notices something* Hm? What’s this? Your button is about to fall off?
Maid: I’m so sorry! *turns to leave*
Lee: *grabs the maid’s sleeve, pulls a pair of thread shears, and clips the loose button*
Lee: Better to remove it now before it gets lost during work. Don’t forget to sew it back on.
Maid: Thank you very much…Please don’t tell the Head Maid about this.
Lee: Like I’d waste my time doing that.
Maid: Again…I’m so sorry.
Cinder: Big Sister Lee always speaks so bluntly…
Lee: The rules for the Glass Family’s servants are very strict. But if Miss Faye fires you over something like this…I’d no longer be able to drink your tea. Not that I’m telling you to not take pride in your appearance.
Cinder: But her words are actually very thoughtful.
Cinder: Big Sister Lee is so cool…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: It’s unbefitting for a lady of your standing to befoul her hands with dirt!
Ama: Am I to understand…You think me incapable of gardening?
Housekeeper: Wh-Why no…Not at all!
Cinder: The second eldest daughter, Amanda, has a smile that can make chills run down your back. However…
Ama: I need to know more about plants to understand flower arrangements…Please teach me.
Custodian: Let me get my tools.
Cinder: She’s 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 joking…I’m fine on my own.
Cinder: Big Sister Amanda is very kind to me…However, she always fights with Big Sister Lenalee. Maybe they don’t get along well? It’s not my place to pry.
Cinder: But I feel like that’s a little lonely…
Ama: Now, then. I’m sure Lenalee will take a stroll around this area tomorrow. *pacing back and forth* She’ll notice the Gerbera Daisies and come closer for a better look…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 changed…Perhaps, I should do something to the fountain instead?
Cinder: *continued stare*
Ama: No, that won’t work…Lenalee wouldn’t do something like this. *clenches her fists* Ugh…At this rate…I’ll never be able to provoke Lenalee! *on the verge of tears* Please…give me strength!
Cinder: *sweat-drop stare*
Cinder: *bring Rhodes up to her face*
Cinder: There might be other types of “closeness” that I’ve yet to understand.
Cinder: You have a very big room, Rose. *gently pets Rhodes* It’s 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 can’t 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: I’m terribly sorry! I was careless and got the floor dirty! I’ll clean it up…
Laura: No need to lie. You two are…to change your clothes first! You’ll catch your death if you stay wet!
Laura: There’s no need to fuss over a dirty floor that can be wiped up.
Laura: More importantly weren’t you planning to leave early to visit your sick mother today?
Maid: How does Madam know…?
Amina: Is that why you’ve 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: Th…Thank you very much!
Cinder: Mommy is…quite strict, kind, and sometimes playful. But that’s not all…At the places I used to work for…the owners hardly ever considered the workers. I had assumed it to be the norm…Here, Mommy even takes the flowers in the garden into consideration.
Cinder: Ever since coming here…I’ve been surprised by so many things.
Cinder: Mother. This family is full of new things. As a member of this family…Will I be able to become as wonderful as they are? It may be arrogant to think this. But…I’m going to try my best! Mother, please continue…to listen to the stories about my new family.
