[Magic Connecting Our Hearts, Here & Now] - Owen SSR Card Story Translation

Ft. Akira, Heathcliff, Chloe, Cain

Closing the Gap Little by Little - Chapter 1

[Courtyard]

Akira: Owen! I finally found you!

Owen: What do you want? Did you wake up and decide to be an annoyance today?

Akira: I was just wondering if you were free right now. There’s some stuff I want to ask you.

Akira: Since it’s been a while since our last interview, I thought I’d do another one for the Sage’s Book.

Owen: I have nothing to say to you. Never have, never will.

Akira: I- It doesn’t have to be serious. We can talk about anything you want, like the sweets you’ve been into for example…

*footsteps*

Heathcliff: Oh, Master Sage. I see Owen’s here as well.

Chloe: Are you guys going on a walk too? The weather feels soo nice today, right?

Owen: ...And two more annoyances show up.

Akira: Good afternoon Heath, Chloe. I was just in the middle of asking Owen for an interview.

Chloe: Oh right! What are you gonna talk about, Owen? I wanna know more about you too.

Heathcliff: C- Chloe. We probably shouldn’t interrupt them, so let’s get going…

Owen: You’d like to know more about me? And why is that? So you can gauge my weaknesses and use them against me?

Owen: And even if you aren’t planning to do that, I bet you’ll blab about it to everyone else, and get me killed either way.

Owen: Then what? Will you take responsibility for that?

Chloe: I—

Heathcliff: Um…

Akira: O- Owen. I’m sure Chloe didn’t mean it like that, so you don’t have to snap at him…

Owen: Aware or not, that’s what he’s asking for. Remember that the next time you want to get to know someone.

Chloe: I- I’m sorry… Still, I feel like we have gotten closer than before.

Chloe: That’s why, I won’t give up on trying to be your friend.

Owen: Excuse me…? Us? Friends?

Chloe: Yes! That’s why you talk to me and wear the clothes I give you, right?

Chloe: What do you two think?

Heathcliff: You’re asking me!? I mean… You do have a point…

Heathcliff: At first, I was scared of Owen and didn’t know what to think of him… Even now he can be pretty mean…

Heathcliff: However, I also think he’s strong, experienced, and reliable. If it’s possible to improve our relationship, I’d probably be open to it…

Akira: I feel the same… That’s why I want to talk with you more, and if there's anything you don't want to talk about, we can avoid that too.

Akira: Still, if we’re already working together, then I want to do things that make you happy and avoid the things that won’t…

Akira: Besides, I want to leave as much as I can for the next Sage once I return to my world, so they won't have to start from scratch with you.

Owen: …How utterly abhorrent. I don’t see what all the fuss is, but I’d watch what I say if I were you.

Owen: <<Cur Memini>>

Heathcliff: Ah… He’s gone.

Chloe: Did I go too far!? I’m sorry, Master Sage.

Akira: It’s alright, Chloe. It didn’t seem like he was angry…

Akira: (If this was before, Owen probably would’ve been a lot meaner)

Akira: (When I think of it that way, hasn’t he softened quite a bit…?)

Closing the Gap Little by Little - Chapter 2

[Outside the Manor]

Akira: Alright, it’s time for Owen’s interview take two. I hope I can find him…

*rustling*

Cain: ! Akira! Look out!

*running*

Akira: …Cain!?

Cain suddenly burst out of the thicket and grabbed my arm.

As he swung me behind him, a gust of wind blasted through us.

Owen: Getting careless, are we? Your defense is riddled with holes.

Owen: <<Cur Memini>>

Cain: Gah…!

Akira: W- what’s going on…!?)

Floating in the sky on his broom, Owen fired a volley of ice pellets at us. Still protecting me, Cain managed to dodge it.

Akira: C- Cut it out you two…! What if someone gets hurt because of your fighting!?

Owen: Aw, I wouldn’t call this fighting. I’d say it’s more of a collaboration with yours truly.

Owen: I’m just helping Sir Knight out, so he can take his eyeball back that much faster.

Cain: Yeah right… Aren’t you just here to mock me while I’m training?

Cain: Anyways, let’s call a truce! If we keep going, Akira’s gonna get hurt.

Owen: Fine then, I’ll just have to take them too.

Akira: Wah…!

Owen suddenly grabbed my hand and yanked me onto his broom like pulling vegetables from a garden.

Cain: Hey, whoa!

As Cain reached for me, Owen batted him away with magic.

With a faint smile on his lips, he looked down at Cain.

Owen: What’s wrong, Sir Knight? If you’re upset, why don’t you hit me with everything you’ve got?

Cain: …

Keeping his eyes steady on Owen, Cain sheathed his weapon.

Cain: A knight should never swing his sword in a moment of anger.

Cain: If I want to become worthy of my spell, I’ll make sure to beat you fair and square someday.

Cain: However, I’m done for today. Let Akira go.

Owen: …Oh?

Blinking his mismatched eyes, Owen crossed his legs with a somewhat impressed look on his face.

Owen: If you keep putting things off, it’ll be centuries before you’re ready. The reason you can’t react quickly with magic is because you only train your body.

Owen: You need to be more comfortable with using magic in battle.

Akira: (...It’s almost as if Owen’s giving him a lesson)

Akira: (That’s probably not what he’s thinking though…)

I snuck a quick glimpse at his face.

As always, his ice cold beauty looked so delicate, one would think he’d shatter with a touch…

Akira: (When I first met everyone, Owen was so frigid, especially towards Cain)

Akira: (He was the same towards Chloe and Heath too, but it seems like his relationships are changing little by little…)

Closing the Gap Little by Little - Chapter 3

[Hallway]

Akira: Alright, today’s the day…!

Akira: I’ve brought a ton of Owen’s favorite sweets with me, so surely he’ll be open for a little conversation!

Akira: Are you in there, Owen? It’s me, Akira.

*enters Owen room*

Owen: …Master Sage?

Akira: Owen! I’m so glad you’re here. Um, I brought you a gift. Do you mind if we eat these together?

Akira: I’d also love it if we could talk just for a tee~nsy weensy bit?

Owen: A gift…? Can I really have these?

Akira: (Oh boy…)

A soft voice. An innocent expression. The childish aura cast upon the grown-up features of his face. As Owen endearingly tilted his head, I sucked in my breath.

This was his other personality, the childlike one that had emerged as a result of the <<Great Calamity>>.

Akira: …Of course, feel free to help yourself. I brought them for you, after all.

Akira: The chocolates are especially sweet and delicious.

Owen: Chocolate…

Owen’s eyes quickly lit up. Taking a single piece of chocolate from my hands, he slowly and carefully ate it.

Owen: …It’s so yummy! Can I have another one?

With an angelic smile, he asked me the question in earnest.

It reminded me of the last interview I held with him.

Akira: Owen, there was something I once told your other self…

Akira: If you ever want someone to do something for you, all you have to do is smile like you’re doing now.

Akira: I think you could get anyone to listen to you, to lend you a hand.

Owen: Smile…?

Akira: Umm, like this. Chee—se..

*Owen switches back*

Owen: …? What are you doing…?

Akira: !?

Like waves receding from the shore, Owen’s smile vanished. The gentle look in his eyes had once again hardened to ice and his eyebrows furrowed with suspicion.

Akira: W- Welcome back, Owen.

Akira: I came to your room for an interview, but your other self opened the door…

Owen: Ugh… He has the worst timing.

Owen: Well? What did you talk about with not-me?

Akira: Umm…

Owen: Spit it out.

Akira: …I told him that if he ever wanted anything, all he’d have to do is smile. I’d gladly help him with whatever if so.

Owen: Heh… So you still haven’t dropped that?

Owen: I can get what I want just fine without your advice.

Owen tore the basket from my hand and flipped it upside down, dumping all the sweets across his table.

Then, with a devilishly beautiful smile, he dangled the empty basket towards me as if playing a trick.

Owen: Aw, looks like we’re all out of candy. Why don’t you go fetch me some more?

Akira: But they’re right the—

Owen: The quicker you come back, the quicker we can have our little chat.

The haughty smirk on his face wasn’t exactly the smile I had envisioned.

However, the satisfaction it radiated felt perfectly in tune with his personality.

Akira: (There’s still a lot I don’t understand about Owen…)

Akira: (But it does feel like we’re closer than before… probably?)

Akira: …Okay, fine. But you have to talk to me afterwards!

The Things I Can Only Say Now - Card Episode

[Courtyard]

Owen: Well, don’t you look busy, Master Sage.

Akira: Oh, Owen.

Owen: Are you still working on those pointless interviews?

Owen: I doubt us wizards have truly changed in the meager amount of time we’ve spent together.

Akira: Even if it doesn’t seem like you guys have changed… I still think that things are slightly different now from how they started.

Akira: When you get to know someone, you’re able to talk about things that you can’t with anyone else. With that in mind, is there anything you'd like to share with me, Owen?

Owen: Don’t think this makes us friends by any means, but… I could give you a couple tips on how to really twist a knife in the wound.

Owen: You start by observing people, seeking their deepest insecurities, and identifying the things they hate most.

Akira: I- I’m not sure how useful this will be, so I think I’ll pass…

Owen: While it’s always a solid plan to tighten the noose within conversation, it’s never a bad idea to prepare a couple of their worst fears beforehand.

Owen: For example, I hate washing. [1]

Akira: I… What?

Owen: That candy from your world.

Akira: …Oh! Did you mean wagashi?

Akira: I remember telling you about dango and youkan before. We have a lot of soft and squishy sweets. [2]

Owen: Exactly. Now that I’ve generously given you my secrets, you should try them out on me.

Owen: Strike me with the squishiest, most sickening sweets you have.

Akira: (He… just wants to eat wagashi doesn’t he?)

Akira: (What a convoluted way to go about it. Welp, I suppose that’s Owen for you.)

Home Screen Voice Line

“Making a promise is just about the most reckless thing I could possibly do. Caring about others will only make you weaker. …What would happen if I did forge those bonds someday? Hah… Don’t be ridiculous.”

Translator's Notes

[1] In the original text, Owen says he hates gashi (餓死) or starving to death. He, of course, meant wagashi or traditional Japanese sweets, but given his backstory, I thought the starvation reference was relevant.

[2] Dango are glutinous rice balls covered with a sweet glaze whereas youkan is a thick red-bean jelly cake.

[Log-in story] Fusetter x Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku

Appearing characters: Figaro, Cain, Faust, Rustica, Bradley, Fusetter

Keep The Secret of Tonight Under Lock and Key

Figaro: Is this the place?

Cain: I think so? That ball of light we saw should be around here somewhere… What was that anyway? It gave me the creeps…

Faust: I don’t sense anything ominous, and the barriers are intact, so I doubt it’s anything serious. We should investigate properly, though. Just in case.

Rustica: There’s something so mystifying about forests at nightfall. One can spot many different critters roaming about, guided by the light of glowing mushrooms and fruits.

Bradley: …Hm? Wuzzat over there, under the tree?

???: …

Bradley: Izzat a… dog?

Figaro: If it is, seeing this kind of breed is a first for me. Have you seen anything like it before, Faust?

Faust: Can’t say I have. It’s unusually long and… pudgy.

Cain: Doesn’t seem hurt or anything either. Heya, buddy, you good over there?

Bradley: Lessee… Giddy-up!

Bradley: …The hell?! It can’t be that long…

Rustica: Is it in the middle of taking a nap perhaps?

Strange dog: …Hruk…

Wizards: !

Strange dog: W-Wah! W-Where am I?!

Bradley & Figaro: It…

Faust, Cain & Rustica: Can talk?!

Strange dog: E-Erm…

Figaro: Well, you don’t see this every day. What’s your name, little guy?

Fusetter: I’m Fusetter!

Figaro: I hope you don’t mind me asking, but just to clarify, you are a dog, right?

Fusetter: Yep! …Whoa, it's the moon! And it’s so big!

Rustica: It’s always been this big. Does it perchance have something to do with your arrival?

Fusetter: Well, I remember looking up and admiring it.

Fusetter: I’d never seen a moon so big and pretty, so I decided to take a picture of it, but… Before I knew it, I ended up here.

Bradley: Where have I heard this story before…

Rustica: It’s easy to lose your way while following the moon.

Faust: I’m more curious how it managed to pass through the barrier. The capital and the market are a long distance away.

Faust: As for what it is… A magical beast or fey of sorts?

Figaro: Could he be from another world?

Cain: Maybe even the same one as the Master Sage?

Figaro: Well, we do live in a world riddled with mystery.

Figaro: It wouldn’t be a first.

Bradley: The Sage never said nothin’ about dogs bein’ able to talk in their world.

Bradley: Say, lil’ fella, where exactly were ya watchin’ the moon from? Got any name you can give us?

Fusetter: Of course, I was at ◯◯◯!

Bradley & Figaro: Come again?

Cain: Sorry, we didn’t quite catch that, can you say it again?

Fusetter: I was at ◯◯◯!

Faust: …Interesting. It’s as if the most important part is evading us.

Figaro: Are you using magic to do this?

Fusetter: I wouldn’t call it magic, but I do have this unique power…

Fusetter: It’s a bit difficult to explain.

Cain: Go on, we’re listening.

Fusetter: Okay, then, can you hold my paw for a moment?

Cain: Of course~ Ooh, you’re so squishy!

Fusetter: Hehe, thank you.

Fusetter: Now, think about something you’ve kept secret recently.

Fusetter: Once you’ve got your secret ready, go on and say it.

Cain: Oookay…

Cain: When I woke up yesterday, my pants were ◯◯◯◯.

Cain: What the…!

Bradley & Rustica: We…

Figaro: Couldn’t understand that last bit at all.

Faust: …Really interesting.

Fusetter: That’s my power: I can keep others’ secrets!

Rustica: Why, it’s just like a little spell. May I give it try as well, Fusetter?

Fusetter: Of course!

Rustica: Thank you. Now, to think of a secret… Oh, I got it.

Rustica: Two days ago, right as I was about to go to bed, I was heading towards ◯◯◯◯, and somehow ended up singing and dancing at ◯◯◯◯◯◯.

Bradley: That’s rad as hell! My turn, lil’ pup.

Bradley: I keep my ◯◯◯ at the manor.

Figaro: Me next.

Figaro: My ◯◯ is ◯◯◯◯◯◯.

Fusetter: Your secrets are safe with me, everyone!

Figaro: I can’t help but feel like we’d be living in a different universe if we’d met you earlier.

Fusetter: I’m happy to help as long as everyone’s getting along.

Faust: …

Fusetter: Would you like to try it too?

Faust: I think I’ll pass.

Rustica: But his paw is really soft.

Figaro: It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you know. Don’t let it pass you by.

Fusetter: Please!

Faust: …Well, it wouldn’t hurt to try, I suppose.

Faust: …Oh, you really are fluffy all over. …Right, the secret. Let me think…

Faust: …I had ◯◯◯◯◯ for last night’s dinner.

Faust: Wow…

Bradley: Pretty sick, yeah?

Cain: But how are you doing that if you’re not a wizard?

Figaro: I don’t sense any magic, so maybe he’s not a wizard but a magician?

Fusetter: You’ve brought up the word ‘magic’ so many times now, so I have to ask… Are you all wizards?

Figaro: Yep, and we serve the Sage.

Figaro: They came from another world, just like you, and under their guidance, we save the world every year.

Fusetter: Woow, that sounds awesome!

Rustica: And we’re not the only ones. Say, Fusetter, would you like to go back to the manor with us?

Rustica: I’m positive the rest of our friends would be thrilled to witness this unique ability of yours.

Bradley: You Western bunch just wanna toss ���im ‘round like a hot potato, don’tcha?

Fusetter: Please don’t do that…

Cain: Nah, don’t worry about it. They’re a bit of a special case but mean well.

Cain: But Rustica’s right, why don’t you come with us? I imagine you must be feeling quite lost in another world all by yourself.

Faust: And while your situation might be a bit strange, you don’t seem like you’re here to cause trouble.

Figaro: Yep, the Master Sage and kids will love you.

Fusetter: Aww, you’re all too kind!

Figaro: Nonsense. Maybe the twins will know something about you, so we should talk to them and see.

Figaro: Although, something tells me you’re going to keep all personal information to yourself.

Figaro: I would also like to perform a few check-ups on you.

Fusetter: …What’s a check-up? Will it hurt?

Figaro: No, not all. I’m a world-renowned doctor, you know? I’ll handle you with care.

Fusetter: Ooh, sounds good!

Fusetter: Let’s get along, everyone!

[Someday, in the Kitchen Where Echoes Smile] Chapter 3 Translation

SNOW: Uh-huh, I see, I see! After taking another glance around, I do find this quite the wonderful restaurant.

RUSTICA: So do I. I love these scale-shaped tiles on the floor. Were these also inspired by Nadi?

NERO: As far as I know…? The landlord decorated the place according to their taste.

This restaurant came fully-furnished including all the kitchenware and dinnerware. It's standard procedure to rent this type of property to non-local chefs looking to open a restaurant.

I had my own set though, so the existing kitchenware here turned into decor.

MITHRA: How come this shelf is empty? Also, this cabinet door just won’t close.

NERO: That’s where I used to put my stuff. As for the door, it’s always been poorly attached; the trick is to lift as you shut it close.

Nero breaks into a soft, bitter smile as if to cover for an old friend’s bad habits. I found that expression endearing which also reminded me of his surprised look earlier.

AKIRA: So that’s why you were surprised when we were standing in front of the restaurant. ‘Cause it used to be yours.

LENNOX: This marks an unexpected homecoming for you, so to speak. What a quirk of fate.

NERO: Pretty much, yeah. Honestly, I was convinced this place was long gone.

RIQUET: Huh? But why?

NERO: Because I was evicted after my customer found out I’m a wizard. In these parts, nearly every place linked to wizards gets demolished.

AKIRA & RIQUET: …What…

Nero explained matter-of-factly that Riquet and I were at a loss for words. In contrast to our reactions, Figaro shrugged his shoulders lightly.

FIGARO: No doubt… You still hear this sort of thing every once in a while, especially in the East. Think of it as an attempt at a purification ritual.

CAIN: In my case, the elderly dignitaries pitched a proposal to tear down the office I used when I was the Knight General, on the grounds that it had been cursed.

That’s what it means to be driven out… You just steel yourself for this kind of thing.

AKIRA: …Oh, Cain…

Cain’s words rung heavy.

Even in a society where wizards are not allowed to become knights, I know many people admire him to this day. But as sociable and well-liked as Cain is, he is still resigned to having the places he’s stayed at destroyed.

It’s easy to forget when I’m with my wizards, but this is the reality of the world we are in.

RUSTICA: Finding your way back to your restaurant must be a miracle then, Nero.

LENNOX: True. Far from getting torn down, someone has been making sure it is well-kept.

NERO: Right? That’s the part I found strange. I mean, did they think I would curse them if they wrecked the place?

Nero nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders. Seeing him act like he usually does made my heart ache more.

I wished he didn’t talk about his bitter experience like it was just random gossip. I wished Blue Scales had been different–especially when Nero’s voice sounded eager and unusually elated as he shared his experience in this town.

AKIRA: (…Then again, wishing won’t do anything about the situation…)

MITHRA: Are you people done talking or what? Is the food ready yet?

Mithra’s listless voice snapped me out of my thoughts. There he was making himself at home on a bar stool, legs crossed and chin resting on his palm as if to make his boredom apparent.

Nero let out a wry smile.

NERO: My bad. So what’s the verdict with the anomaly?

FIGARO: I didn’t sense any malice from the echoes, so I’d say this one doesn’t seem that dangerous.

SNOW: As I had proposed the other day, cooking ought to do the trick with this anomaly.

CAIN: Something about satisfying those emotions to sublimate them, right? Can we go ahead with the cooking class then?

NERO: Sure.

SNOW & RUSTICA: Hurray!

CAIN: Good for you, Riquet.

RIQUET: Oh… Yes, of course! Thank you, Nero.

NERO: In that case, we’ll be making apple–

MITHRA: …Hm?

LENNOX: An echo appeared right next to Mithra…

This time, the echo that appeared like fog was an old man with a small pair of glasses on his nose. With a cranky frown, he was staring down at this huge piece of fried meat that reminded me of tonkatsu if it had been pounded flat.

RUSTICA: That…I believe is a schnitzel.

NERO: Yep. I could easily gather the ingredients from the market, so I had served it as the restaurant’s specialty dish.

The old man sliced a huge piece of his schnitzel. With brows furrowed, he heartily stuffed his mouth that was shaped in a frown.

But in a matter of seconds, a sense of satisfaction turned the difficult expression on his face into a relaxed one. He gave a few nods of approval.

SNOW: Why, he makes it look so delicious…

MITHRA: Nero, I'm craving that.

RIQUET: What? But I wanted to bake an apple pie…

NERO: Uhh…

LENNOX: How about we cook a full course, everything from a salad to a dessert?

AKIRA: That would mean learning an entire course’s worth of recipes, right?

LENNOX: Yes. It's how cooking is taught in the South.

FIGARO: What Leno said, plus table setting and other necessary assistance included. This method should satisfy both requests, right?

RIQUET: Oohh…! Nero, what do you think?

NERO: Sure thing. At this point, adding another dish or two barely makes a difference.

RIQUET: Yay!

CAIN: That decides it for our dessert and entrée… All that’s left is the soup and salad, right? Some bread would be nice, too.

NERO: Let’s buy bread instead of making it from scratch. For the salad, it will depend on what’s on the market. And the soup…hm…

RUSTICA: In that case, I suggest we coordinate the menu like you would an outfit.

AKIRA: Coordinate?

RUSTICA: You heard it right. The way Chloe does it, he first picks out several options from the wardrobe then sees which ones go together.

Following that example, the first thing to do is buy ingredients of our liking. Then, we will mix and match to create our very own salad and soup.

By we, I mean Nero.

NERO: I figured.

CAIN: In that case, I think we should divvy up who buys what to make Nero’s job later easier. So we’ll have Team Soup, Team Salad, Team Apple Pie, Team Schnitzel, and so on.

SNOW: I see. And among those teams, Team Soup and Team Salad are free to purchase whatever ingredients they want.

CAIN: Yep, that’s the idea! Riquet and I can be Team Apple Pie.

RIQUET: I’m glad to have you, Cain!

After a discussion, teams were formed as follows: Cain and Riquet as Team Apple; Rustica, Figaro, and Lennox as Team Salad; Nero and I as Team Schnitzel and Bread; and lastly, Snow and Mithra as Team Soup.

SNOW: Let’s do this, Mithy. Go North Power!

MITHRA: What? No way. Nobody told me we had to cook.

RIQUET: What? It’s in the name–cooking class. How could you have missed that?

MITHRA: You’re supposed to cook in a cooking class?

AKIRA: (So he never understood a single thing…!)

MITHRA: <<Arth–

CAIN: Now hold on a sec, Mithra.

Cain casually puts an arm around Mithra’s shoulder as he was about to summon his spatial portal. Then, he flashes a friendly smile at him like he would to a younger peer.

CAIN: If you leave now, you’ll never get a taste of the schnitzel you requested. You wouldn’t want that, would you?

MITHRA: …Now that you mention it.

CAIN: And hey, I know you grill meat in the courtyard and concoct your own original sauce. You have a real knack for cooking and the experience to boot, you know that?

It’d be reassuring to know someone of your caliber is in charge of shopping for soup ingredients. Don’t you agree, Master Sage?

AKIRA: Y-You bet I do! Could you do us a favor this time, Mithra?

MITHRA: …

…You really are hopeless without me, huh? Fine, I’ll do you a favor and stay.

AKIRA: Thank you!

SNOW: Thank you, young Cain, dear Sage. You both earned yourselves some spending money.

CAIN: Haha. I appreciate the thought, but you don’t have to. All right, what are we waiting for? Let’s get shopping!

ALL: Let’s do this!

BUTCHER: Please come again.

SNOW: Thank you, Big Sis! Bye bye!

…Hmm, each cut of meat was wonderfully fatty. The East sure knows how to raise healthy, well-fed livestock!

MITHRA: Meat, fish, herbs, flowers… Snow, is it just me or are you overshopping?

SNOW: Might as well make some soup with all the ingredients I love, right!

...Hm? Do I spy a spice shop over there? I must take a look.

Feel free to buy whatever you want in your soup, Mithra. I’ll see you later!

MITHRA: Uh-huh. All right.

SNOW: Phew. What a haul…

MITHRA: Snow.

SNOW: Mithra, there you are! That’s a large basket you are carrying; I see you’ve enjoyed your own shopping spree. So what did you buy? Let me see.

MITHRA: Here.

SNOW: Huh… HUH!? WHAT IN THE WORLD?!

Some deep violet spice, carnivorous leafy greens…and a bottle of pink, luminescent goop?! And you sure didn’t miss your chocolate treats now, did you?

MITHRA: What’s wrong with that? I’m down for some soup made with goop and chocolate.

SNOW: What wrong, you ask? Everything! You can’t shop to save your damn life, can you?!

MITHRA: Are you serious? You’re the one who told me to buy whatever I wanted.
