[ Hey it's the Mint Professor and his dead-eyed companion Espurr. He's sitting outside in the sunshine, a few of his pokemon can be seen frolicking behind him. ]

Hello. Byleth here.

I have just returned from the optimist.

Sorry. The optimus. Opti-

[ Frown. ]

Op. Tom. E. Trist?

[ SIGH. ]

The eye doctor.

Anyways, they suggested that as apparently my eyesight is actually, as they put it "astonishingly bad", that I try the glasses they prescribed for me outside for the first time and document my experience. So here I am. But they did allow me to choose my favorite color.

[ He presents the glasses to the screen, they're rectangular blue frame is very simple, and very boring. Just like him. He gently puts them on and looks around. It takes him a couple moments before he actually startles, a hand going to the frames as he takes them off, and puts them back on again a few times. ]

WHAT THE-

[ Anyone watching will get to see him go and touch some grass, and then run over to look at a few trees, and then his own pokemon before he returns to look at his Espurr. ]

Oh Breakfast. We're really in it now.

It is! So beautiful. Is it like this for everyone all the time?

[fatefulprince]

I suppose it is! If you really want to have your mind blown, pick up a leaf and hold it up to the sun.

[perfectteatime]

[ He does that and- ]

Oh wow....

I didn't know they did that.

[fatefulprince]

[ _{Corrin laughs and grins.} ]

Amazing, isn't it? So many cool shaped veins and venules! Not quite the same as getting glasses, but when I was allowed outside of my tower fortress for the first time, I couldn't stop looking at everything around me for hours!

[ _{He sighs happily with a warm smile.} ]

Just you wait until night falls and you can see the stars. There's nothing like it!

[perfectteatime]

Allowed outside your tower? You were trapped there?

[ The suggestion seems like a hit because he lights up. ]

Oh! The stars! I can't wait! I'll have to go to look at the telescope again!

[fatefulprince]

Yeah... I was... uh. Kidnapped when I was a child, and held captive in a tower for my entire life. I wasn't allowed outside -- But it's okay. I'm here now! This place is great! I love it! [ _{Corrin's optimism was... questionable! Given everything he's endured! But this is just how he is!} ]

Ohhh now that's an area I'm familiar with! I mean ... when you're trapped in a tower, where else can you look but the sky? Heh. I wonder if the constellations are the same here! Now that you can see, you'll be able to map them! How exciting! I'd love to join if you ever want stargazing company!

[perfectteatime]

Wh-

Kidnapped? Are you... okay? I mean clearly bodily you are but that's... intensse.

I'd love that. Perhaps you can join Shiro and I at the observatory sometime. I bet he'd like you a lot.

[fatefulprince]

Yeah! I'm fine! How can I not be? Life is amazing outside!

[ _{... wait a second.} ]

Y-- You know Shiro?

[ _{Why yes, Corrin does think Byleth is talking about a guy named Shiro from his home realm, and not the Voltron dude.} ]

[perfectteatime]

Well... yes but I mean being imprisoned wasn't... traumatic?

[ He seems very chipper but that's never an indicator that someone is really... okay or not. ]

Takashi Shiro, yes. Have you met him?

[fatefulprince]

Ehehe, well, most of the traumatic stuff happened after I was released. But life in the tower... wasn't all that bad. I had four siblings who loved me dearly, and good company from the butlers and maids. But looking back, I can't believe how much of the world I was missing out on ... I hadn't even seen birds up close yet alone the magnificent creatures that live here.

[ _{Oops, he's waffling on!} ]

Oh...! Sorry for getting carried away there, heheh! I'm also sad to say I got confused with another Shiro. I haven't met this Shiro, but I would be more than happy to!

[perfectteatime]

I'm glad you were not alone at the very least. Still, I'm sorry to hear things were so hard for you.

Ah- not to worry. I'm sure you'd like this Shiro. I know he'd like you. You should say hello if you ever see him! He's very kind. Teaching me about science and space.

[fatefulprince]

It's okay, I feel like the luckiest person on earth! An upsetting past doesn't change the fact that the future can be filled with so many wonderful experiences and memories. The creatures here are magnificent... I can't lie, I miss my friends and feel a bit homesick. Kinda lonely, too. But I just have a feeling it will all be okay eventually!

[ _{That offer sounds so perfect, though! Learning and making friends! Literally Corrin's two favourite activities in the universe!} ]

... And making new friends is a fantastic place to start! I can't wait to learn! You are so very kind to invite me, I'm eternally grateful.

[perfectteatime]

I admire your drive, Corrin. Indeed, filling one's life with people who make you happy is probably the most important thing you can do for yourself.

I'll be looking forward to spending some time together. Your personality is uplifting.

[fatefulprince]

[ _{cue a maaaaaajor blush filling the smiling prince's face!} ]

I-I'm glad you think so! Likewise!

[perfectteatime]

Thank you. I'm definitely looking forward to spending more time together.
