Episode 4
Marion Noire (FL)
(my hand hurts so much)
She looks down at her wrist and freezes
After getting freshened up and wrapping her wrist in a bandage, she heads downstairs
Marion Noire (FL)
Good morning, dad.
Xander Noire (FL Dad)
Good morni-wait, what happened to your hand,dear?
Marion Noire (FL)
Oh, nothing,dad. I just slipped and hurt it a little.
Xander Noire (FL Dad)
You should take better care of yourself....
Luna Noire (FL mom)
Okay,okay! Let's eat now, it's getting cold.
Selena Noire (FL sister)
Good morning,everyone!
Marion Noire (FL)
Good morning,sis.
Luna Noire (FL mom)
Good morning
Xander Noire (FL Dad)
Good morning, sweetheart.
Selena Noire (FL sister)
Where's that troublemaker? ( Lucien)
Luna Noire (FL mom)
He came home late from workーhe's still sleeping. Let him rest, it's Sunday.
Xander Noire (FL Dad)
Let's start breakfast before it gets cold.
Xander Noire (FL Dad)
So, how's college going, dear?
Marion Noire (FL)
Good, dad.
Luna Noire (FL mom)
What about you, sele?
Selena Noire (FL sister)
Actually, I have to travel to Country Y soon. We're launching a new project there-it's a big opportunity for me. I'll be gone for about five weeks.
Marion Noire (FL)
When are you leaving?
Selena Noire (FL sister)
This Wednesday.
Xander Noire (FL Dad)
Alright. Just take good care of yourself while you're away.
Selena Noire (FL sister)
I will. Thanks!
Later, in Marion's room...
Marion Noire (FL)
(Her family is so sweet...)
Marion Noire (FL)
(I think I should start trading again.)
She opens a laptop and begins working
Marion Noire (FL)
(If I handle the trading part well in this project, I could make a solid profit. Market conditions are in my favor-I just need to stay sharp and time it right.)
After finishing her work, she sighs and leans back
Marion Noire (FL)
(I need some fresh air... Maybe explore a little.)
She walks to the wardrobe and swings it open-only to be hit by a flood of
Marion Noire (FL)
What is this... Pink... pink... and more pink?
She mutters while pulling out a frilly dress with a grimace
Marion Noire (FL)
No way I'm going out like this. I have to go shopping.
She gets dressed in one of the simpler outfits and walks toward her dad's room
Xander Noire (FL Dad)
Yes, dear?
*She opens the door slightly
Marion Noire (FL)
I'm going shopping.
Xander Noire (FL Dad)
Oh-here. *hands her a card*
Marion Noire (FL)
Thanks, Dad! I'll be back soon.
Xander Noire (FL Dad)
Don't be late.
Store Assistant
Hello, miss. Can I help you find something?
Marion Noire (FL)
I'm looking for a casual outfit.
Store Assistant
Of course, follow me.
Later, at the food court...
Random girl
Ugh! Look what you've done! You spilled coffee all over my dress!
unknown guy
What? No, I didn't! I was standing right here-nowhere near you!
Random girl
Don't lie! Just apologize and give me money. You ruined my new dress!
Bystander 1
Yeah, I think he did it. The cup was in his hand.
Bystander 2
Some people just don't know how to behave.
unknown guy
I swear I didn't touch her! My cup is still full-look!
The crowd murmurs, some nodding in doubt. Then, a calm but firm voice breaks the tension.
Marion Noire (FL)
Stop. I saw everything. He didn't go near her-she spilled it herself.
Random girl
Are you seriously taking his side?!
Marion Noire (FL)
I'm taking the side of the truth. You're trying to blame him for something he didn't do. That's not okay.
Silence. A few bystanders exchange awkward glances. The unknown guy looks at Marion, grateful.
unknown guy
Thanks... I thought no one would believe me.
Marion Noire (FL)
Sometimes the loudest voice isn't the right one.
Marion Noire (FL)
By the way, I'm Marion.
unknown guy
Oh, I'm..........
