Emilia:  "If you live in a place where snow is a burden rather than a joy, you wouldn’t even think to have a festival for it."

Emilia:  "Huh, is that why…? Yeah, you may be right.” Emilia nodded in understanding as she walked around the empty exhibit under the night sky.

Emilia:  "But when that happens, these snow sculptures will melt away. So many works of art… It really feels like a waste."

Puck:  "Well, that’s snow for you. It doesn’t last forever. It is what it is.”

Emilia:  Emilia noticed a catch in Puck’s voice but didn’t point it out. She just stopped mid-path among the snow statues and gazed at the twinkling stars. And in the icy-cold air, the stars hung, beholding the snow sculptures below.

Puck:  "I really am sorry you and Betty and everybody else at the mansion didn’t win."

Emilia:  "Well, that girl’s snow bunny was really good. Roswaal and the village head were downright smitten with it…and Subaru was surprisingly quiet. I wonder what that was all about."

Puck:  "I’ll just say no comment."

Puck:  "But I really did want to learn more about the luxury prize."

Emilia:  "Me too. That thing from Subaru’s hometown…what was it again? A cornpota? Was that its name?"

Emilia:  "You know, I probably should have consulted Subaru first thing when the problem arose. I could have avoided so much worrying."

Puck:  "True, true." Puck agreed. "But you shouldn’t run to others at the first sign of any problem—that’s not the kind of daughter I raised. Even if it feels beyond you, you need to try to figure it out on your own. Okay?"

Emilia:  "Yes, yes. I know." Emilia giggled, and Puck stroked his chin with an “Atta girl.”

Emilia:  "Hey—do you remember what Subaru said at the end of the snow festival?" Then a faint silence flowed between them until Emilia suddenly broke it.

Puck:  "If you have magicking season again next year, let’s have another snow festival. Most people would be put off by the idea, but if anybody can turn magicking season into a raucous good time, he can."

Emilia:  "That quality of Subaru…I find it to be really…you know."
human
Puck:  "Yup. I do."
