harvest of bonds :: olivia and panne

[suturings]

part 1

Olivia: Panne~! That was mean of you~!
Panne: "That"...? Ah, are you talking about mealtime? You ate too slow, that's all.
Olivia: B-but, I can't eat very fast like you... I planned on setting aside such delicious looking meat for later... but you just grabbed it from right beside me and ate it... uu...!
Panne: It was delicious.
Olivia: Uu... that was very mean~!
Panne: I did think that you were going to save it. However... in order for a creature to live, isn't it only natural to keep your own meals secure? If it's truly important to you, you have to protect it.
Olivia: T-that's true...
Panne: But... it's true that I'm to blame for that. I didn't even properly ask you about it, after all... next time, I'll ask you whether or not you're leaving it aside before I eat something of yours.
Olivia: I would appreciate that, thank you...
Panne: Ufufu... I'll be careful from now on, so I hope you'll forgive me, all right?
Olivia: ...!! ... even Panne can laugh like that too. I feel like it's the first time I've seen it, but... it was lovely smile...

part 2

Olivia: Panne~! That was mean of you~!
Panne: "That"? Ah, when I helped comb your hair from behind because you said you wanted to fix your messy hair?
Olivia: When I finally noticed, my hair was all piled up high...! Everybody laughed at me and said how it looked like there was a tree towering over at the top of my head~!
Panne: Ufufu, I apologize about that. When I see you, I just end up wanting to pull a prank.
Olivia: Huh? W-why...?
Panne: Because I hate humans. I've always been searching for a person to mess with.
Olivia: Eeh!? R-really!?
Panne: That was a lie.
Olivia: A lie!? O-oh, honestly.. you startled me~
Panne: To tell you the truth... in the past, I had someone who was like a little sister to me. She resembled you quite a bit — she was a crybaby and a little timid, but she was very kind and gentle... looking at you reminded me of her... and I just started wanting to tease you. But since that happened, I wished I could've been more kinder to her...
Olivia: Since "that" happened...? !!! Could it be that she...
Panne: ... she's dead. Killed by... humans.
Olivia: T-that's just... I'm so sorry...
Panne: Don't worry about it. It's a story from years back..
Olivia: ... I-I understand! From now on, I'll be your little sister!
Panne: ... huh?
Olivia: Please think of me as your little sister! I'll do anything, so...!
Panne: W-wait a second, Olivia...? You don't have to be so fussy about it.
Olivia: It's fine! I don't like seeing you make such a sad face! The smile you showed me before was very lovely... I want you to smile like that all the time! That's why... that's why...
Panne: ..... Olivia... ... I understand, thank you. You are truly a splitting image of her...
Olivia: Panne...
Panne: Well then — if you insist, I hope you're prepared to be pranked every now and then, yes?
Olivia: W-what!? You are mean~!
Panne: Fufufu. I was just kidding, Olivia. From now on, I'll treat you kindly as much as I can — for that girl as well... okay?
