EPONINE: Foleo.

FOLEO: Eponine? What's up?

EPONINE: Foleo... Foleo...

FOLEO: Y-yes? I'm listening?

EPONINE: I knew it... when I'm with Foleo, I can speak normally... I can't handle myself around normal boys... but Foleo is fine... Because... Foleo is a special boy. Hehe... Ehehehehe...

FOLEO: E-Eponine?

EPONINE: Oh! Sorry. I kinda lost my focus there.

FOLEO: D-did you...? That's fine, then...

EPONINE: Um, Foleo... Can we be friends? Well, it's kinda because my dad serves Leon, but also, people with wonderful hobbies such as yourself are pretty hard to come by... So please, be my friend, forever...

FOLEO: S-sure, of course we can be friends.

EPONINE: Ehehe... I'm so happy... that I can be friends with such a cute boy... Ehehehehe...

FOLEO: I-I don't know why, but I've got a bad feeling about this...

FOLEO: Alright, Eponine. Let's go shopping in town.

EPONINE:  Staaaaaaare....

FOLEO: ... Eponine?

EPONINE: The lovely Foleo... is the idol of all the men in town...

FOLEO: Huh? What are you saying?

EPONINE: The men stake their lives in combat so that they may lay claim to Foleo... "Foleo is mine..." "No, he's mine..."

FOLEO: Hello? Earth to Eponine?

EPONINE: This battle between men is a climax of human brutality... Foleo's heart aches at the sight. "Please, don't fight over me," He says... But... when he sees the sweat and tears glistening off their masculine physiques, something strange comes over him, and his face flushes red for reasons he does not understand... Ehehe... Ehehehe.... Ah, that's wonderful! Once I see that face... the visions won't stop... Ehehehehehehe....

FOLEO: Eponine!!

EPONINE: Ah! F-Foleo!? Since when were you there!?

FOLEO: From the very beginning. I've been standing next to you from the start.

EPONINE: Sorry... Pardon my rudeness... when a little idea enters my mind, I just...

FOLEO: An... idea? What kind of idea?

EPONINE: Errr... it's uh, about peace... It's about how we can bring about world peace... whenever I thin about that, I start to space out.

FOLEO: ...Really? That sounds a little... doubtful.

EPONINE: W-whatever, it doesn't matter, does it? Now, let's go shopping. You don't have to worry about a thing. I've got your back. Yes... No matter what powerful foes stand before us, I'll never let them have Foleo... Ehe... Ehehehe...

FOLEO: E-Eponine... your face is starting to look anything but peaceful...

EPONINE: Foleo, don't you have any interest in guys? Does your heart go a-flutter when you catch the sight of a dashingly handsome man?

FOLEO: Huh... what is that supposed to mean? Are you getting strange delusions again, like the last time we went shopping...!?

EPONINE: N-no, no, no, you've got it all wrong! It's just that when I talk to you, it feels just like I'm talking to one of my girl friends! And, well... things kinda slip out of my mouth...

FOLEO: Ah, so that's how it is. You feel that comfortable around me? That's good to hear.

EPONINE: Ah, ahahah...

FOLEO: And... you asked me if my heart flutters when I see men, right? Of course, that does happen at times.

EPONINE: R-really!?

FOLEO: Yes. There are a lot of people whom I admire. When I see them, I feel respect for their impressive looks.

EPONINE: Respect... that's... not what I was looking for...

FOLEO: My... was that answer not acceptable...?

EPONINE: I... I never said that! Your answer's perfectly fine! But... I know, right? You're a boy, after all...

FOLEO: Y-yes, I am. Sorry... I suppose I can't handle girls' talk like your normal friends.

EPONINE: D-don't apologize to me! In fact, I'm the one who should be sorry. You're the precious person I must protect, and yet here I am, having these weird thoughts about you... I'm trash.

FOLEO: Eponine...?

EPONINE: Foleo... I... I've changed my mind. For starters, I'll back off and only protect you from the shadows from now on. That way I won't be any ruder to you than I already have. I'm sure... it'll be better for you if you never have to lay eyes on scum like me...

FOLEO: H-hey... wait up, Eponine! Don't say such hurtful things!

EPONINE: Huh...?

FOLEO: Please, don't call yourself scum, or say that I'm better off never seeing you again... It made me... happy to hear that you thought of me like your one of your girl friends... I was so happy. So, I don't care if you return to being the weird Eponine, I want you to stay with me...!

EPONINE: F-Foleo... you're... too kind... no, that's not what I wanna say! Foleo, are you sure? Do you really want someone like me with you?

FOLEO: Of course I do! No matter what kind of girl you are, you're still my dear friend.

EPONINE: Wahh... you're so gallant...! ... You've got it. If you wish it, then I'll stay with you no matter where you go!

FOLEO: Glad to hear it. I'll be in your care, Eponine.

EPONINE: Sure, leave it to me! Hehe... I did get the official go-ahead to "be the weird Eponine"... now I can fantasize next to you all I want. Ehehe, hehehe...

FOLEO: Uh... well... if you're happy, then I'm happy...

FOLEO: Eponine, I'd like to talk to you...

EPONINE: What's the matter, Foleo?

FOLEO: I... I like you, Eponine.

EPONINE: ... Huh? HUUUUUUH!? Foleo, you do!?

FOLEO: Yes. Does that startle you?

EPONINE: Very... I mean... I'm a girl, right?

FOLEO: Why would that be a problem?

EPONINE: ...Huh?

Oh, I see! So that's how it was! you like girls, so there's no problem with that at all!

FOLEO: Am I... just like another one of your girl friends to you, after all?

EPONINE: N... no, you're not...

FOLEO: You can't view me as a man... can you?

EPONINE: I-I don't know...

FOLEO: You don't know?

EPONINE: Yeah. My dad's always told me... that I had to protect you, so it's kinda like I've never seen you that way... or like I don't feel like it'd be in my place to, uh....

FOLEO: Really? I understand now. In that case, I shall be going to town to get familiar with the men.

EPONINE: Huh!?

FOLEO: I shall pick up men, spend time with them, and make them enchanted with me. If I do that, then you'll continue to look upon me, won't you? Even if I cannot be your lover, I can always be someone special in your eyes.

EPONINE: N-No, no, no, no! Don't do that! I... I don't want to see you like that!

FOLEO: Why not? That would turn all those fantasies of yours into reality...

EPONINE: But... even so... I don't want it. It'd feel like you were so distant...

FOLEO: Does that mean that you want me to be with you? That you'd rather I be together with you, rather than with the men from your fantasies?

EPONINE: That... that might be true...

FOLEO: So, you like me.

EPONINE: Foleo, you're so forceful...

FOLEO: Well, despite all appearances, I am a boy... it's only natural I'd get a little desperate when I'm with the girl I like. Do you find that unexpected?

EPONINE: ... Yeah. To be honest, I kinda... No, I really feel like I'm about to have a heart attack. I think I could mkae a good lover, if it's for you.

FOLEO: Hehe, thank you. You've made me very happy, Eponine.

EPONINE: Waah... making that face is just unfair...
I'll keep on protecting you... but, could you sometimes protect me, too?

FOLEO: Naturally. It's a boy's duty to protect the girl he likes, after all.
