"I'm okay, for the most part."
"Hm? Oh, Cecile.... It's Mayari. How, um..... how have you been?"
"Oh! Why, hello, Mayari!"
"I've been doing just fine. How are you holding up?"
[ She looks up to him as he says this. She doesn't realize there are tears forming up in her eyes, so she wipes them off. ]
To Mayari,
"Uh, hi, Allie was rambling alot about you to me and begged me to start a conversation with you. She was rambling on and whatnot about how you and I would get along really well or something? Oh Lord, where are my manners... I am Oliver Noiralle, I do Fashion Design, pleased to meet you."
@the-feathered-fashionista
[ Mayari's hair glows into white, while her eyes glow into white and blue separately due to the surprise of this. ]
"Oh, you're one of Allie's friends?"
Oh no, how am I gonna introduce myself without scaring her friend off with my talent? But since Allie told him about me, I should be fine, right???
"I-I'm Mayari. Mayari SadΓ©lle.
I'm the..... The Ultimate Test Subject.
Nice to meet you, too."

Edit (13/1/2025): Changed the character tags at a suggestion
"Mmmm....hm? Ah, it's you... *yawn* Sorry, I'm still a bit tired after helping out others yesterday. Hm? "Why am I dressed like that?" Ah, someone left this in a box and a note in my dorm room that said I'd have to wear this for White Day. I guess that must've been Cherri's doing, especially with all these flowers raining down on me.... Anyway, we should get going. The others might be worried sick right now. Oh, right..... Happy White Day"
(Btw, this isn't related to the P:EG AQ plotline. Think of it as Non-KG AU where the main cast and the P:EG AQ cast are living normally as students, and this is also a belated International Women's Day art π . But yeah, Happy White Day!)
"Right, of course......"
[ Sensing that she might've unintentionally struck a nerve, Mayari starts to walk away with her head down but looks back at the dead knight before leaving. ]
"I'm sorry for overstepping my boundaries, Sir Valentine. I promise that we'll solve your murder......"
"......I wish you well..."
[ Mayari gloomily looks down and starts to walk away again. ]
"S-sir Valentine? It's Mayari.... Is it true??
That you're dead?"
[ Her hair glows white with blue streaks to match her face paled in shock, and her eyes glow blue ]
Yes, yesβ¦all true.
Please, donβt act so shocked. Iβll be fine.
To be brutally honest, Iβm turning quite bitter towards it all.
One can only die so many times.

Also counts as a slay the princess art style test a bit??? I love how they line I fucking love slay the princess bro
