Searching for Happiness

Asch: ......

Colette: Um... Asch?

Asch: ...What? You’re... Colette, right?

Colette: Oh, good, you remembered my name. Um, here, take this!

Asch: ...A four-leaf clover?

Colette: Yes. I have faith it will make you happy!

Asch: ...Wh–why would you give me something like this?

Colette: Oh... right. Well... you’re always by yourself, Asch, and whenever I look at you, you’re always frowning.

Asch: (What’s with this girl...?! Why’s she so shamelessly blunt?!)

Colette: I know someone else who looked a lot like you, actually. It turned out that he was looking for a four-leaf clover...

Oh, but I misunderstood what he was looking for. It seemed like he was someone who was trying really hard to find happiness.

Asch: S–so you’re telling me I look like someone who’s looking for happiness?!

Colette: Oh! That’s not what I meant!

Umm, you’re a bit different from that person. You seem to think that happiness doesn’t really matter to you... or at least, that’s how you come across...

Asch: !!!

Colette: Maybe I’m just trying to cheer myself up instead, but I do believe that something good will happen.

No matter how hard things get... even if it’s nothing but hardship.

I believe that happiness is sleeping within your heart, and it will awaken when the time is right. So, this is for you...

Asch: You’re weird, you know that? But... sure, I’ll take it.

Colette: Really?! I’m so happy! Thank you, Asch!

Asch: What are you, an idiot? The one who receives a gift is supposed to say thank you.

...So, thanks, Colette.
