Great weather today. Perfect for shutting yourself inside, don't you think?

Bernadetta

Oh, you go right ahead. I'll be right here.

Bernadetta

The better the weather, the less crowded it is in here. I can't pass up having all this space to myself.

Bernadetta

I'm glad you get it. With great weather like this, there'll be no one inside to bother us.

I love feeling like I'm all alone in the world...

What made you such a recluse?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Oh, that. Well, I guess I can tell you, Professor.

My father's obsessed with money. He's only ever seen me as bait for a rich husband.

Bernadetta

To train me to be a good wife, he'd do things like tie me to a chair.
link
Bernadetta

I tried hard to do as he asked. Honestly, I did.
link
Bernadetta

But before I knew it, I just couldn't bring myself to leave my room anymore.
link
Why not?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I just had this overwhelming feeling of fear all the time. No matter how hard I tried, my father never thought I was good enough.
link
Bernadetta

After that, it was just constant scolding. He couldn't say two words to me without mentioning how useless I was. An unmarriageable girl.
link
Bernadetta

My life was isolated to say the least. I wasn't allowed to play with other kids, let alone make friends. Soon, I stopped wanting that. I was happiest alone.
link
Bernadetta

But even that made him mad. And when he tried to drag me outside, I kicked and screamed so much I seriously hurt myself.
link
Bernadetta

He's calmed down a bit in recent years. His constant torment was replaced with complete indifference. He mostly acts like I don't exist now.

How did you end up at the monastery?
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

If you can believe it, I was basically kidnapped.
link
Bernadetta

My mother ordered an attendant to stuff me in a bag while I was sleeping. By the time I figured out what was going on, I was already here.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

For a while, I was sure I was going to die.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

But here I am. Look at me...still breathing.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to get you down, talking like that about my past!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Just forget everything I told you. There's no point in talking about myself anyway.
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Idiot! Oh, this is why everyone hates you, Bernie!
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

You're the only one who would ever say such a kind thing to me, Professor...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

What? N-no, it's not...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

Oh, Professor! How can you be so kind to me?! I don't deserve it...
link
Bernadetta
volume_up

I'm sorry! Please don't look at me!
