Cyril enters the scene

Hey, Lysithea. I'm glad I found ya.

What's up, Cyril?

Could you read something for me again?

Looks like it's another shopping list. I'm happy to help you out.

Did you try looking it over yourself yet?

What's the use? I told ya I can't read.

Have a look here—any of these letters look familiar?

Huh? This one? Was that...apples? So it says... three...apples?

Yes, you got it! See? You can do it!

I wonder if there's anything else I can recognize! Let's see...

It's clear you've got a sharp memory. If you apply yourself, you'll be reading in no time.

Reading is such an important skill. Once you learn, you won't forget!

And I won't be around to read things for you forever.

Lysithea?

Anyway, don't you enjoy learning?

It seems like you haven't even thought of trying prior to this. Do you simply not have time for it?

Until now, I never thought about how to learn, and since I was hiding it, I never asked anybody.

But right now, I feel like I'd be happy to live like this for a little bit longer.

It seems like a hassle at this point not to learn, so you may as well start putting in the work!

Well, I like having you read things to me.

You do?

Yeah, you always seem happy when I ask you to read things, and when you're happy, you smile.

I think you're pretty when you smile. I betcha everyone tells you that though, huh?

As a matter of fact, they haven't! Stop messing with me!

Hang on a second. Am I the only one who's seen you make that face? Is that why nobody's told you?

Excuse you! I mean, honestly!

OK, well, I'm gonna go take care of this errand for the professor. I'll see you later, Lysithea.

Cyril leaves the scene

Don't expect me to read for you again! And, uh... just take care of yourself, will you?
