Pétillant takes Wine away from Eiswein
Without even a parting
Is it okay?
"It's okay,"
Pétillant assures Wine
"Just leave that guy alone,"
Wine looks back,
To see Eiswein waving at her in farewell
"We are going to meet Blanc,
Aren't we?"
Pétillant questions
"Yes,"
Wine answers quietly,
Worriedly,
"Are you...all right?"
Pétillant doesn't look at Wine
"I was shaken.
I will be fine soon.
Don't worry,"
Wine looks down,
"I am so--"
"--Thank you,"
Pétillant doesn't allow Wine to finish it
"Now, I have to face him head on,
Without hiding anymore,"
Huh?
"I was off guard,"
Pétillant smiles at Wine now
"I thought it's okay to stay the way we were,"
"Not anymore,"
Wine whispers
"Not anymore,"
Pétillant affirms
"Because you are here now,"
