Siegfried has to die every five years ...and he loses most of his memories each time. But what happens now?
Sophie: "Siegfried... Siegfried!"
Fiona: "Siegfried!"
Siegfried: "(Still)"
Sophie: "Fiona, he's not waking up…. What do we do now?"
Fiona: "Wait a moment."
Sophie: "I... guess I have to give him mouth-to-mouth or something?…."
Fiona: "Let me do it then…"
Sophie: "Huh?.. But wait, maybe that's not n—"
Fiona held his cheek and blew air into his mouth.
Siegfried: "(Ghhh..) Ughh.. (Coughs)…"
Fiona: "Hahh... Shhh.. shhh…"
Siegfried: "Ghhhh!"
He pushed Fiona away.
Fiona: "Urk!"
Sophie: "What's that supposed to mean?"
Siegfried: "What do you mean, what's that supposed to mean.. where am I even…?"
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Mmm…"
Sophie: "Hmm."
Siegfried: "Ughh.. wait…."
He took out a diary.
Siegfried: "Hmm, I have a feeling I know you hmmm.mm…. Sophie... was... the.. red-haired.. one... and... the white-haired... Fiona?"
Sophie: "The other way around. I'm the red-haired one, Sophie."
Fiona: "And I'm the white-haired one, Fiona. Hmm?"
Sophie: "Mmm."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Siegfried: "Hahh... Have... I died again?"
Sophie: "Yes... Congratulations... You hit a woman immediately after waking up."
Siegfried: "Ugh. Oh no.. Fiona.. I'm sorry.."
Fiona: "It's okay…."
Sophie: "Are you alright... let me see."
She held Fiona's cheek.
Sophie: "Hmmm."
Fiona: "Mmm."
Sophie: "Oh wow... You really got hit hard.. Why didn't Bob protect you?"
Fiona: "He probably didn't see Siegfried as a threat."
Sophie: "Hmm.. Your nose is bleeding…."
She took a tissue.
Siegfried: "Ugh... hey... I'm... sorry….."
Sophie: "But you can remember us, right?.. Hey!"
Siegfried: "What?.... I last saw you two.. That's why I can remember you."
Sophie: "Ahh.. I see... So he doesn't forget the people he saw shortly before his death.."
Siegfried: "Mmm."
(Patch!) (Patch)
Rosika: "What are you doing out here?"
Sophie: "Huh?"
Siegfried: "Ughh…"
Rosika: "Hmm?.."
Siegfried: "Mmmm….. Strange.. (..I can only vaguely remember her here…. I would never forget such a beautiful face....).."
Sophie: "Rosika.. What are you doing here?"
Rosika: "I heard something.. so I came here."
Siegfried: "(..I see... The old Siegfried…. wanted to protect her.. That's why he never touched her.... This woman must have meant a lot to him…... Rosika... that's her name..)."
Rosika: "And what is Siegfried doing here?.. And why is Fiona's nose bleeding?"
Fiona: "Uh…. Um…. I wanted to chase a fish, but it jumped and hit me on the nose."
Sophie: "(Sweating).. I know you're bad at lying, but that's really something…"
Rosika: "Huh?"
Sophie: "Hahhh.. Rosika is one of us.. She has the right to know."
They explained everything to her.
Sophie: "There."
Rosika: "...What…"
She looked at Siegfried.
Rosika: "...Siegfried…. You don't remember me?"
Siegfried: "I only know that your name is Rosika... and that you're blind…. I remember that…"
Sophie: "Ah.. I see.. Some details don't disappear…"
Siegfried: "No... I have them here."
He took out a diary.
Siegfried: "I have a diary.. While you were explaining it to her, I read it.. (..but why was she on the list…. of the people who mean so much to me... Did Siegfried love her... if so.. romantically.. or not romantically?)…"
Rosika: "…...Siegfried.."
Siegfried: "Yes?"
Rosika: "...Why didn't you tell us about your curse?"
Siegfried: "...Mmmmm.. (That's true, why didn't I?..).."
Rosika: "...You don't remember that either?.."
Siegfried: "..I'm sorry…. No."
Rosika: "Mmm…"
Siegfried: "Hmm?"
Rosika: "...Does that mean you forget us every five years?…."
Siegfried: "Yes.."
Rosika: "Mmm... Your sister too?"
Siegfried: "I have a sister?"
Sophie: "Hahh... Damn... Hahh."
Fiona: "That's really terrible.."
Sophie: "Yeah.."
Rosika: "You have a little sister.. Ruby…"
Siegfried: "Ruby.."
He searched through the book.
Siegfried: "(Oh, it's true... I really do have a little sister, there's even a picture of her... Brown hair and a beautiful smile…)….."
Rosika: "...Siegfried…"
Siegfried: "Ohh.."
He looked at her... Tears were forming in her eyes.
Rosika: "...Please at least tell me that you're still the old you.. The Siegfried I knew... is still in there."
Siegfried: "Hmm.. (The notes said she is blind…... But my goodness, she has beautiful eyes….)…. What do you mean?"
Sophie: "Ahh.. I have an idea."
She went into the hotel for a moment.
Rosika: "Hm?"
Fiona: "Oh.. no.."
Rosika: "Huh?"
Fiona put her hand on her forehead.
Rosika: "What?"
Fiona: "I know what she's planning…. I think."
Rosika: "Huh?... Ugh, no.."
Sophie: "Here, Siegfried.. This is a magazine you used to like reading."
Siegfried: "Huh?"
He opened it.
Siegfried: "Hööö.. Oh shit, what the hell!"
He dropped it.
Siegfried: "I used to read stuff like this?"
Sophie: "Yes... Indeed... You were a pervert who was almost horny in every situation….."
Fiona: "(Sweating)... That last sentence wasn't necessary."
Rosika: "Yeah…. Uncool."
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Siegfried: "Hmm... but…. In the notes…. There are …. Siegfried note number one... two and three.. You are.. in three."
Sophie: "Hmm?.."
Siegfried: "That means you died three times.. The first Siegfried apparently died several years ago…. So you've died three times within 15 years.. Wait, you've been cursed since you were 6?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Rosika: "Huh.."
Siegfried: "...I can't remember that either….. What's my last name?"
Sophie: "Hugo.."
Siegfried: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Your full name is Siegfried Matteo Hugo."
Siegfried: "That's a really long name. I only remember Siegfried... But I don't remember Matteo Hugo."
Sophie: "Oh ..damn.."
Siegfried: "Hmmm…"
Rosika: "Is that ….not.. painful?…"
Siegfried: "Huh?... Hmm."
Sophie: "Hm.. Siegfried…. What the hell is wrong with your hand?"
Siegfried: "Hmm?"
He looked at it... There were several brown spots on his hand.
Sophie: "...I hope that's not because you didn't wash your arm after going to the bathroom."
Fiona: "Sophie... his whole arm has.. it…. Do you think he would do that with his arm.. Show me."
Siegfried: "Hm?"
She held it.
Siegfried: "Hmm."
Fiona: "It's under your skin.. Does it hurt?"
Siegfried: "Yes... but my body.. barely reacts to it."
Sophie: "That's because it's gotten used to it."
Siegfried: "Hmm…"
The brown spots turned into green spots.
Siegfried: "Ghhh.."
Fiona: "I have no idea what this is?... Sophie.. You know about curses."
Sophie: "Hahh, let me see."
She held his arm.
Sophie: "Hmmm........"
She pressed on it lightly.
Sophie: "Does that hurt?"
Siegfried: "A little.."
Sophie: "Hmmmm... That's not good."
Siegfried: "Hmm?"
Sophie: "...I've read about something like this... Siegfried…. You die... and come back... Your body heals itself, but only enough for you to survive.... I'll contact the Dark Umbrella. They can probably help your body…"
Siegfried: "...What?.."
Sophie: "Don't worry…. I'll make sure they do something about this…"
Siegfried: "Dark Umbrella?"
Sophie: "You've worked for them like we have…."
Siegfried: "Oh."
Sophie: "Good... Wait a moment."
She called the Dark Umbrella.
Sophie: "Hello... I need to speak with Miss Minerv for a moment….. She's not there?.. Is Mr. Julius there?…. Good... Then please put him on…. Thank you.... Hello?.. Mr. Julius?"
Julius: "Hello, Sophie.. What is it?"
Sophie: "Well, there's quite a lot."
She explained the situation.
Julius: "I understand…. No problem.. I think you can solve it yourselves. I've heard of something like this before…"
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Julius: "He needs eight different kinds of fruits and plants... Then put them into a bath filled with water ….. The water has to be warm... Then….. Someone has to watch over him while he sleeps."
Sophie: "(Sweating)…. Whoever came up with this cure for the curse is a simp…. Hmmm…. Wait, can she be clothed?"
Julius: "Of course.... My goodness….. Absolutely no nudity…"
Sophie: "Well, at least that…... Come on, Siegfried…. I'll give you a bath."
She held his hand and took him with her.
Rosika: "Hah."
Fiona: "Hmm... Just so you know... I'm not sleeping next to him."
Rosika: "Yeah…. I know…. I'll do it."
Fiona: "Good.."
Rosika: "Hmm."
(A few minutes later)
Siegfried: "Ow... Hey.."
Sophie: "Now lie down.. You idiot."
She put him in the bath.
(Splash!)
Sophie: "My goodness…... Turn around."
She waited for a moment. He did so, and when he did... she started combing his hair.
Siegfried: "(Hmmmm... The notes said Sophie... the red-haired one…. is very loving…. He couldn't understand her at first…. I don't understand her either.. Why is she so kind…. and why... all this care... He described her as an older sister or young mother.. I think young aunt would fit better)…."
Sophie: "Hmm.."
She poured water over his hair.
Sophie: "Tell me if it's too warm or if it hurts, okay."
Siegfried: "Mmm.. sure.."
Sophie: "Hmm."
She started cleaning his back.
Siegfried: "Hmm…"
Sophie: "..You have nice hair.."
Siegfried: "Mmm.. thanks...... I think I'll cut it."
Sophie: "….Should I do it for you now?"
Siegfried: "What? You've already done enough."
She gently stroked his head.
Sophie: "Oh, come on. I'll do it now."
She took a pair of scissors and some other things.
Sophie: "Hmm... How do you want it?"
Siegfried: "Hmmm….. Shorter, so that it reaches the middle of my face."
Sophie: "Hmm.. I understand.. Then hold on tight."
She cut it slightly.
Siegfried: "(Man, she smells nice….. Her hands are warm too…... It's like a loving, caring mother is cutting my hair right now.. No wonder he called her a young mother... Although... young aunt still fits better.. She's also really pretty... Long red hair, blue eyes, even her breath is pleasantly warm…)…. Mmmm...(turns red).. (Oh no, not now).."
Sophie: "Hmm?…. Is something wrong?"
Siegfried: "No... Nothing at all.."
Sophie: "Ahh.. hehe... I understand…"
She lightly tapped his forehead.
Sophie: "Don't be so red.. It's normal... hehe."
Siegfried: "Mmm....(Isn't this embarrassing for her?.. Thank goodness I'm wearing underwear).."
Sophie: "So... What Julius meant ...is that you should stay here for a long time…."
Siegfried: "I can sleep here too if you want."
Sophie: "Wait until I finish cutting your hair. Then I'll put the ingredients in and you'll sleep here.. Don't worry... I'll sleep in front of the door then.."
Siegfried: "….Tell me.... Why are you so kind?"
Sophie: "Huh?"
Siegfried: "From what I can see, the old Siegfried was a pervert.. So why are you being so kind?"
Sophie: "Hmm... He was a pervert... but he also had a good heart…. You took very good care of Rosika…. I don't think you were really a pervert. Perverts pay too much attention to a woman's appearance and condition... You didn't care that Rosika was blind ...you still treated her equally... That's why she felt safe around you…. Rosika is actually afraid of boys…"
Siegfried: "Why?"
Sophie: "What I know is.. the women in the Kondor family …. weren't treated well. They suffer from a curse that makes them blind.. and the men ...take advantage of them because of it…... From what I read …. it even often led to abuse…... Rosika... grew up in a very terrible family .. her brother beat her day and night ... her father called her 'Blind Sluggishness' ….. Because of that, she developed trauma toward her brothers and.. then boys in general..... I hope you don't take it personally if she's afraid of you now... because you're not the old Siegfried anymore."
Siegfried: "Hmmm."
Sophie: "...But….. (Smiles)... I know that no matter how many times you lose your memories... the Siegfried we know, at least when it comes to his respect for people…. is still there.."
(Snaps)
Sophie: "Finished... hehehe…. You look good.."
Siegfried: "...Thank you…"
She stood up.
Sophie: "Please wait here... I'll get the things."
Siegfried: "Okay."
(A few minutes later)
Sophie: "So.. you're going to stay here now, by the way.. Rosika will watch over you."
Siegfried: "Oh."
He looked at her.. She smiled slightly.
Sophie: "...Good ...you two... Good night."
She gave Rosika another kiss on the forehead.
Sophie: "I'm here if anything happens, okay?"
Rosika: "Okay."
She left the room.
Rosika: "Hmmm.."
She looked at him.. her hands were behind her back…... like a shy girl.
Rosika: "Um…."
Siegfried: "Hmm?"
Rosika: "…..Nice.. hairstyle."
Siegfried: "Thanks... Not as nice as you."
Rosika: "Huh."
She hid behind the terrace.
Siegfried: "(..Just like in the notes.. She gets embarrassed and shy very quickly when someone calls her pretty..).."
Rosika: "Mmm…."
But she was also hiding somewhat out of fear.
Siegfried: "...You're trembling."
Rosika: "Ah?... Uhmm.."
Siegfried: "Don't worry, I won't hurt you…. Sophie told me about.. your siblings.. No woman in the world …..should be treated like that."
Rosika: "Hmm?... You ..think..that... even blind women have value?"
Siegfried: "Hmm?... I ..find it strange that people actually think that just because someone is different... they should be oppressed?….. Why? Because you're blind?... You are made of flesh and blood and emotions and skin too ….. so…"
Rosika: "Hehe... The old Siegfried... spoke differently... I mean... not as poetically as you."
Siegfried: "Hmm?"
Rosika: "...In my family... if you were a woman…. you were considered less valuable... We only existed for three things... being mistreated... cooking food... and satisfying desires...….. The Kondor family... loved treating us that way.."
Siegfried: "Hmm?"
Rosika: "The women born into the Kondor family…. become completely blind at the age of four…... We weren't allowed to eat the same food.. or even stay in the same room..."
Siegfried: "Why?"
Rosika: "Because we were blind.. hehe…. My father said ...a woman who is blind... is barely worth anything."
Siegfried: "Ugh.."
