Hey, Eru...

What world...

What sky are you looking at right now?

Why?

Why are you painting flowers?

Because it's what I see.

Grass?

Yeah.

Trees?

Yeah.

Amazing!

Huh?

I see.

You can see anything, right, painter?

That's why you have a smiling face.

No...

What's wrong?

It's scary.

Scary?

Everyone says it's disgusting.

What is?

My face.

I don't mind it at all.

B- but...

I'm... not a painter.

Hm, I see.

Then why don't you become a painter?

Huh?

Okay? From today on you're a painter!

Can I watch you paint again, painter?

Then, see you again!

Hey!

What's your name?

Ovesu.

Ovesu?

Ovesu, huh.

And... and you?

Eru!

Eru.

Later.

Eru.

Okay? From today on you're a painter!

Eru!

What's wrong?

They died.

Papa and Mama.

Huh?

Their ship sank.

Papa and Mama...

What is that book?

Papa and Mama gave it to me.

Is that... me?

It's amazing.

- Hurry up and get lost! - I'm sorry!

You're such an irritating child!

Seriously. We should've never taken you in!

Open it. Please open it, Auntie!

Open it! Open it!

Stop crying, Cinderella.

You always work hard.

You're a really good girl.

As a reward, I'll take you to the ball.

Uncle.

Are you okay?

Poor girl.

You can't win with her.

It'll be fine.

You're a good girl.

Stop crying, Cinderella.

You always work hard.

You're a really good girl.

As a reward, I'll take you to the ball.

Said the fairy godmother.

I remembered it.

Hey.

Aren't you lonely living by yourself?

Once in a while.

But... I have painting.

You always look like you're enjoying yourself when you paint.

Huh?

Your cheeks are smiling.

Eru...

Are you lonely?

But not when I'm with you.

Then we're the same.

Is this me?

Wow!

Yeah.

It's beautiful!

Hey, Eru...

I decided to paint a picture.

I decided to paint your smiling face.

So that no matter how sad you are...

No matter how lonely you are...

You don't forget that smile.

Thank you.

Hey, did you know?

What everyone thinks of La vi an rose.

The land with no color.

That's what everyone calls it.

I can see it.

All types of colors.

I see.

You do, huh.

Have you ever heard of a place called Seravi?

No.

Papa told me about it a long time ago.

He said it's a gorgeous place with all kinds of colors.

Don't you want to see it?

I'm sure it has a lot of things that aren't here.

I want to see much more beautiful colors.

You don't need stuff like that.

To think that you're spending time with that boy who's bad for you.

That guy.

Eru, I love you!

I love you more than anyone.

No!

What are you doing?

I'm the one who raised you until now.

Stop!

I'm sorry.

I lost all of your paintings.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

Did I smile?

Huh?

Did I truly smile?

Then paint it.

I won't lose it this time.

Ovesu.

Sorry...

Huh?

What's wrong?

Sorry.

Eru, do you have a moment?

Yes.

I have a favor to ask of you.

Okay.

I want you...

to die.

Huh?

You understand, right?!

If you don't, your uncle will be like that forever!

That's why, please die. Please die!

It's fine.

You just need to be declared dead.

You're new citizenship.

It's for Seravi.

I'm sure you'll make do there.

Seravi...

Your father worked there, right?

It's a good place.

Take this money, too.

It's what your parents left behind.

I'll give it all back.

Here.

Take it!

Give me back my husband.

I'm begging you! Please, please, I'm begging you...

You love him.

Thank you...

for everything.

It's only this place.

It never changes.

It's always nothing.

I wonder why...

The things I want changed, don't change.

Everyone I don't want to change, changes.

I won't change.

I won't.

I really...

loved your drawings.

Eru?

I really loved them.

Eru?

Eru.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Ovesu.

Give that back!

Excuse me. That's mine.

Here.

Thank you very much.

It's your first time here, right?

Huh?

You were fascinated by the town. Am I wrong?

You can't give off that kind of atmosphere.

You'll be taken advantage of.

You know...

When I first came to this town, I had the same look in my eyes.

You're not originally from here?

No.

I wanted to act here, so I came.

Then you're an actor?

I do act, but I do everything from step one.

That's amazing.

And you?

What's the reason you came to this town?

No special reason...

Then why don't you join my troupe.

I've never even seen a play before.
