Benny: ...
Nyx: You've been staring at me for a while. Do I fascinate you that much?
Benny: ...You're so young.
Nyx: In a sense. In form, at least, I am a young girl.
Benny: ...
Nyx: Was that all you came for? To inform me that I'm young?
Benny: Um. D-do you want some candy?
Nyx: *sigh* Despite what I might look like, on the inside I'm as much an adult as you.
Benny: Oh...
Nyx: Yes. "Oh."
Benny: S-so you'd rather have a pastry?
Nyx: ...
Benny: ...They're really good pastries.
Nyx: Very well. Pass them here.

Benny: ...
Nyx: What is it this time, Benny?
Benny: I-I just wanted to offer my help. In case you needed any...you can ask me.
Nyx: Thank you. But if I may ask, what brought this on?
Benny: You're so little. There must be a lot of things that are hard for you. Like...what if you wanted to reach a high shelf or something?
Nyx: In such cases, I prepare a stand or stool beforehand.
Benny: ...Oh. Makes sense.
Nyx: Benny, I understand that you're only trying to help. But I've lived like this for quite a number of years by now. I have my ways of handling what needs to be handled. Just like any adult.
Benny: ... This curse...you can't reverse it?
Nyx: I'm not sure. But I've searched for a cure to it for a very long time, with no success.
Benny: Hmm...
Nyx: There's just no helping me, I'm afraid. This curse is a punishment I must bear.
Benny: If it's a punishment...then you did something wrong to deserve it. You committed a crime, didn't you?
Nyx: Yes... I did.
Benny: And for that, you're frozen at this age... for the rest of your life. You did something that bad...?
Nyx: So it would seem.
Benny: Hmm.
Nyx: ...
Benny: Y-you'll still tell me if I can help, right?
Nyx: ...Yes. Thank you.

Benny: Nyx...do you need anything?
Nyx: Hmhmhm. You're very generous, Benny.
Benny: ...
Nyx: But no, I'm fine. Even as I am, I can do most of the things adults can. So I'd prefer it if you treated me as you would any other adult.
Benny: OK. But...there are some things even adults have trouble with. So...don't be shy. You can tell me if you need help.
Nyx: True enough. Well, if you're offering, could you help me clean my quarters? On my own, I can't dust the top of the bookshelf.
Benny: I'll do it. Was there anything else?
Nyx: That's more than enough, thank you.
Benny: OK. You can call me anytime you need. I don't mind. I want to make myself useful. Not because you're a kid, but... because we're allies, and that's what allies are there for.
Nyx: An interesting perspective.
Benny: Whether you're an adult or a kid, a criminal or a nice lady... You're my ally. And allies are supposed to help each other.
Nyx: ...I appreciate that, Benny.

Benny: Nyx...? What's that you're doing?
Nyx: Mm...? Oh, hello, Benny. I was deep inside a divination trance.
Benny: What were you trying to find out?
Nyx: Anything I can about my frozen youth.
Benny: ...
Nyx: It's been a long time since I delved into the nature of this curse... And the result was nothing more than I've always found. It seems I'm truly stuck like this.
Benny: Hmm...
Nyx: ...
Benny: If it never worked before...what made you decide to try again?
Nyx: I met you, Benny.
Benny: Huh? What do you mean?
Nyx: It's not important. I just...held out some hope.
Benny: Hope of what...?
Nyx: For most of my life, I've been trapped in this body much too young for my soul. It vexed me at first, but in time, I accepted what I had become.
Benny: ...
Nyx: But...if this curse could just be lifted and I could have the body I ought to... everything would be different. I could be happy... I might even get married. Start a family.
Benny: ...
Nyx: I'm sorry. It's wishful thinking, I know.
Benny: I-I think you can be happy just the way you are now...
Nyx: Stop, please... I'm not in the mood for it. Pleasant-sounding lies won't make me feel better.
Benny: It's not a lie. Nyx... Will you marry me?
Nyx: ...
Benny: I love you, you know... More than anyone.
Nyx: You understand that I'm stuck like this for as long as I live, yes?
Benny: I don't care. The punishment or curse or whatever you want to call it... I accept everything about you...
Nyx: Everything...?
Benny: So marry me...please...
Nyx: ...I accept as well, Benny. You and I should be together forever.
