Odin: Ha. Your flimsy deceptions are as sheerest gossamer to me, charlatan...

Charlotte: Eeeeek! Oh, Odin, it's just you. Are you bored or something?

Odin: "Bored"? Why, the word lives not in the fecund orchard of my vocabulary! I do not get "bored." Boredom is for those of less heroic lineage. Rather, I am stymied by the yawning abyss of too many opportunities!

Charlotte: O-oh, I didn't know... That sounds... amazing, actually. Tee hee!

Odin: And know this: your villainous "tees" and nefarious "hees" have no effect on me!

Charlotte: What?

Odin: Your deceptive charms are wasted on one whose very blood is a truth potion!

Charlotte: Deceptive...? I'm afraid I don't really understand what you meeeean...

Odin: Don't understand? Of course—you must always play the fool in your silken motley. But I've been watching you. Your personality goes through more change than a moneylender over a day. You choose which of your painted masks to wear depending on who you're talking to.

Charlotte: Wh-whaaaaat?!

Odin: There is no use denying it. My truth shines out like a beacon in the fog of your lies!

Charlotte: Well, I'm sure I don't know WHAT you mean. My personality doesn't change!

Odin: You may have blinded the others, but I see everything... My third eye, Truth Strahl, the organ of my sacred sight, aches, stirs...and hungers! That is all I will tell you for today. If you wish to know more, ask me another time.

Charlotte: ...

Charlotte: Odin! I'm heeeere. I'm ready to hear about your Tooth Crawl or whatever it was. ..."Tooth"? No, it was "Truth," right? I'm soooo silly sometimes! Do you think you could answer a few itty-bitty questions about that?

Odin: We may speak, but you must do it as an adult. Your affected childishness has no effect on Odin, Parter of the Veil.

Charlotte: ... Fine, if you say so. This all right?

Odin: It will suffice. Before we begin, I must know one thing: What do you seek?

Charlotte: Seek?

Odin: Yes. Every deception has a purpose, and every deceiver a goal. Maintaining your various guises costs you effort—what do you hope to gain from it?

Charlotte: Oh, that's easy. I want everyone to like me. But specifically the men. I want them to find me irresistible.

Odin: ...I see. You want to be the center of attention. I know something about that. You wish to dominate men's hearts and minds, but lack my own sorcerous wiles. I must reveal to you your folly in the most direct manner possible... You're doing it wrong.

Charlotte: Huh?

Odin: If you want to be loved by all, you cannot achieve it through mere fraud. Consider: As more fall under your sway, how will you know which face to wear? You cannot be everyone at once.

Charlotte: I...hadn't thought about it that way...

Odin: You must craft a persona so intriguing that none can help but love you, as I have done. Right now you divine what people want and act like that. It gives everyone else power over you, rather than the reverse.

Charlotte: I-I get that... Hey, could you teach me how you do it? How you just decide to be amazing?

Odin: I could, but such instruction is not without price: you must call me "Professor Odin."

Charlotte: I will, with pleasure.

Odin: Then I will teach you...the secret art of Confident-Persona Bewitchery! We will begin immediately. Which would you say is your most powerful hand?

Charlotte: Professor Odin! What's happening to me? I tried to practice Confident-Persona Bewitchery, and it didn't work AT ALL!

Odin: How can that be?! Tell me exactly what happened, and leave no detail undisclosed.

Charlotte: I had practiced my confident aura, as you taught me... And I was going to try it out on that cute guard, as you suggested.

Odin: Perfect! No common guard could withstand a concerted assault of your charms!

Charlotte: I went to where he was, extended my right hand just like you do, and said: "I am Charlotte of the Lace, an avatar of Love, chosen to fight in her holy name!" So everything was going well, and he was smiling, so I went on: "Nuuhh... No! Power of love—surging uncontrollably! My wards are useless!" Then I took off the bandage I had wrapped around my arm and yelled: "Can't hold it back! Behold my power and my curse, heretical love unbound!" Then the guard laughed and said, "You need a day off." Professor Odin, I'm not sure Confident- Persona Bewitchery is working for me.

Odin: ...

Charlotte: Professor Odin! What is it?! Are you sick?!

Odin: No...I'm just...trembling...at the sight of unfurled excellence... You have done it, Charlotte! You have mastered Confident-Persona Bewitchery!

Charlotte: ...Huh?

Odin: That guard is yours now! Your flawless technique has permanently ensorcelled him!

Charlotte: R-really?

Odin: Yes! Telling you that you need a day off is really just a way of asking you on a date!

Charlotte: I...guess I see how you could interpret it to mean that... So...it went all right...

Odin: "All right"? Bards shall sing of the moment you revealed your charismatic puissance! With just a bit more training, you'll have the entire army in your enchanting thrall!

Charlotte: The entire army? That's amazing!

Odin: Isn't it? We'll begin immediately! You must hone your mien to razor keenness!

Charlotte: Leave it to me, Professor Odin!

Charlotte: Professor Odin, what's wrong?

Odin: Thank you for coming, Charlotte. I wanted to tell you that our relationship as teacher and student has ended.

Charlotte: What? Why?

Odin: From now on, I would like to begin a new relationship: as husband and wife.

Charlotte: Hang on...

Odin: I'm afraid you have learned my lessons too well... Like the sculptor who fell in love with his own statue, I am victim to your bewitchery. For a while now, our lessons have just been a way to spend more time with you.

Charlotte: Weren't you trying to teach me that deceit was nothing to base a relationship on?

Odin: W-well, yes, but...

Charlotte: And "Confident-Persona Bewitchery" ISN'T something you learned at a love monastery?

Odin: St-strictly speaking...no. But this is a ring that I made specially for you! It's real! Please accept it!

Charlotte: ...Hmpf!

Odin: OW! You hit me! Why did you hit me?

Charlotte: For talking down to me about being a liar when you're just as much of a fake as I am! But I do feel a bit better after punching you. And I HAVE been a bit of a fraud, too. I only went along with the lessons because you've always seemed so sure of yourself. I wanted a bit of that in my life. Maybe the two of us deserve each other... Is the ring offer still good after I punched you?

Odin: ...

Charlotte: Odin?

Odin: Ahhhh...my apologies. You hit me so hard I was briefly transported to another plane... Eventually I will need to go back to my own world...

Charlotte: Stop speaking nonsense and give me an answer. Do you still want to marry me?

Odin: Yes. Or I should say...I need you in my life. To be honest, I'm a bit strange, and I think you're strange in some of the same ways. I think we'll have a good, strange life together.

Charlotte: I like it. Here's to our strange life together, Odin, and the new parts we'll play. May we never get too honest with one another!
