Subaki: Ah, Nyx. I've been looking all over for you.

Nyx: Oh? Did you need something?

Subaki: During my patrols around the camp, I've often seen you all alone. So I was wondering if you'd like to be introduced around town. Everyone is very friendly.

Nyx: I have no interest in striking up friendships. I'm perfectly content keeping my interactions to a minimum. Especially when it comes to Hoshidans.

Subaki: Why are you so intent on staying isolated? Is it because you look so much younger than you truly are?

Nyx: That's really none of your business...

Subaki: Do you think we're just a bunch of children or something?

Nyx: I didn't say that. But I am considerably older than all of you. I can't imagine what we would have to talk about anyway.

Subaki: I didn't mean to bother you. It's just hard not to worry about someone who seems so lonely.

Nyx: Please, spare me your concern. If you will excuse me, I have to be going now.

(Nyx leaves)

Subaki: Nyx?

Subaki: Hmm? Is that Nyx over there? She's all alone again. Maybe she'll be in the mood to chat.

Nyx: *sigh*

Subaki: Hello, Nyx. I'm sorry to intrude while you're reading, but I wanted to talk. Wait... What are you drinking?

Nyx: Oh, of course. I forgot that this is foreign to Hoshidans. It's called coffee.

Subaki: Coffee, huh? I think I've heard of that. What an amazing scent... It's so dark. Does it taste good?

Nyx: Of course it does. I wouldn't be sipping it otherwise.

Subaki: Would you mind if I tried a sip?

Nyx: Well, I suppose it couldn't hurt...

Subaki: Wow!! I-it's so bitter. Why would anyone want to drink this? You've clearly got a more developed palate than I do.

Nyx: Heehee. I guess coffee might be a bit of an acquired taste.

Subaki: No kidding! A little went a long way. Listen, I'm sorry for treating you like a kid the other day. That was probably irritating in retrospect. It shouldn't have taken me so long to finally understand that.

Nyx: It's fine. Don't worry about it. I should really be on my way.

Subaki: Wait! You only drank half of your coffee!

Nyx: Why don't you finish it? Maybe the flavor will grow on you.

(Nyx leaves)

Subaki: All right... I guess I'll try and drink it. *gulp gulp* So this is what coffee tastes like, huh? Interesting...

Nyx: *yawn*

Subaki: Good morning, Nyx.

Nyx: Hello, Subaki.

Subaki: Sorry for dropping in on you again. I was just wondering if you would be willing to try some of this coffee.

Nyx: Hmm? You made coffee?

Subaki: I sure did. Hopefully I brewed it properly.

Nyx: B-but that's impossible. Nohr's food culture is totally different from that of Hoshido. And you just tried coffee for the very first time recently. There's no way that you could learn how to brew it properly without assistance.

Subaki: Please, just try a small sip. I would really appreciate your feedback.

Nyx: Fine, if you insist.

(fade to black)

Subaki: Here it is! The coffee is still nice and hot. I hope you enjoy the brew.

Nyx: Well, it certainly smells pleasant. And the color doesn't look half-bad either. I suppose I can give it a try. Ohh... Subaki, this is delicious! Did you honestly brew this?

Subaki: I really did! Believe it or not, I picked, roasted, and ground all the beans myself.

Nyx: I can't believe it... Honestly, I don't think I've ever had such a robust cup of coffee before.

Subaki: Really? I'm so happy that you like it. Listen, I was wondering... Do you think we could get to know each other better?

Nyx: What do you mean exactly? Wait a minute... Did you learn to make coffee so that you would have an excuse to talk to me?

Subaki: Well, I like to learn about foreign cultures. I just think it's fun to talk with all kinds of people from different places. I thought maybe you would feel the same way too.

Nyx: Oh, I see. Thank you, Subaki. Perhaps you could show me how you made this rich coffee.

Subaki: O-of course! I'd be happy to walk you through my process now, if you like.

Subaki: Good morning, Nyx!

Nyx: Oh, Subaki. Can I help you?

Subaki: It seems like you enjoyed brewing coffee with me the other day. So I was wondering if you felt like trying to make something else today.

Nyx: Oh? Like what exactly?

Subaki: I was thinking about a beverage called matcha. It's a Hoshidan tea. It's bitter like coffee, with a pleasingly bold finish. I think you might enjoy it.

Nyx: That's thoughtful of you to ask, but I'm going to pass.

Subaki: What? But why?

Nyx: You're right, it was fun to make coffee the other day. But I don't want you to get the wrong impression. I just can't be close to anyone right now. Besides, you're from Hoshido. There's no sense in spending more time together. Thank you for thinking of me, Subaki. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Subaki: Listen... The truth is, I was just looking for an excuse to spend more time with you.

Nyx: Huh? What do you mean?

Subaki: I-I have...feelings for you. I was just too proud to admit it.

Nyx: O-oh, so that's it.

Subaki: Yeah. That's why I've been trying so hard to get your attention lately. I realize now that I should have just been direct and told you what I was thinking.

Nyx: St-stop. You know that I'm much older than you.

Subaki: So? Who cares? If that was a concern for me, I never would have tried to befriend you. The point is, I can't help the fact that I've got a crush on you.

Nyx: Subaki, you don't know me. Not really. There is so much I have to atone for. I don't have any room in my life for romance.

Subaki: What about friendship? It's not like I'm proposing. I just enjoy your company. What do you have to lose?

Nyx: *sigh* You're very sweet. I suppose I can make time for one cup of tea.

Subaki: R-really? We could keep chatting while we drink matcha. If you want. Personally, I can't think of a better way to spend my afternoon.

Nyx: Heehee. Lead the way, Subaki.
