[ Hello, Network! Have one alien princess with a Pachirisu draped around her shoulders. She's out shopping, looking a little bemused in front of a sign featuring lacy pink and red heart designs. ]

Could someone please explain to me what Valentine's Day is? And what are these? [ She points at the poster behind her. ] Someone said they're hearts. Human hearts don't actually look like this, do they?


[SCREENED to: Pidge!]

[ This portion is a separate video screened to Pidge, because Allura has further questions and is a little too shy to ask them publicly. She's clearly in a department store, surrounded by racks of lacy garments. ]

Pidge, I don't suppose I could ask for your advice?

Nah, real hearts don't look like that. It's just a symbol for love-- People say it's a heart, but people use the term 'heart' and 'soul' to describe the same thing.

Celebrating Valentine's day can be a little different depending on where you're from, but it's a holiday about love everywhere.

[lioness_rampant]

On my world, we had a symbol for one's essence--their 'soul,' if you will--but nothing to represent a physical heart.

I'm from the planet Altea, so any and all Earth holidays are new and quite fascinating to me.

Oh! So you're from the same place Romelle is! I see it now! [They have the same face-swoopies!] Are you "Allura" then?

[lioness_rampant]

I see my reputation precedes me! I am Allura. As far as our origins, it's... a bit more complicated than that, but yes, Romelle and I are both Altean.

You have me at a disadvantage, though--what's your name? How did you meet Romelle?

[forsaintcecilia]

My name's Kazuki! I met Romelle on the Net, and we'd message each other sometimes, but we didn't meet face to face until Shiro's wedding. She's really nice!
