conversations.value:  It wasn’t clear if Claire’s words actually provided Thane any comfort. He continued to stare at the portrait of Lulu with his usual sullen expression, and we fell silent for a moment.
conversations.prefix: Claire:

conversations.value:  "M-Master Thane, I think what Miss Claire said is correct." Lilly offered a lifeline. Or maybe she just couldn’t stand the silence anymore. "M-my father once told me that Lady Lulu loved the princes in an extraordinary way."
conversations.prefix: Lilly:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Salas said that?"
conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  Lilly nodded. "He said Lady Lulu especially doted on Master Thane, because you weren’t born healthy."
conversations.prefix: Lilly:

conversations.value:  "It seems you might not have understood each other."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  I felt the same way, but one of the people involved had already passed. The truth was lost forever.
conversations.prefix: Rae:

conversations.value:  Thane didn’t respond. He was normally a quiet person, but he was especially quiet today.
conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Master Thane, are you here because of the rumors spreading around town?"
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Huh? Ah…"
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "So, you heard them too, huh?"
conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Master Thane, please pay no heed to idle rumors spread by commoners."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Y-yes that’s right!" Lilly chimed in.
conversations.prefix: Lilly:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "But…the king is often distant with me. He treats me differently than he does Rod and Yu." Thane’s voice was flat and bitter. "I used to think it was because I was unworthy of my rank, but if the rumors are true, that would explain a lot."
conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Master Thane…" Claire said carefully.
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "I can’t… It’s not like me to vent like this."
conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "If you find us suitable confidants, we are happy to listen."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "I appreciate that, but in the end, I am a prince. Someone in line for the throne cannot behave like this."
conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "It is the duty of a king’s subjects to support him."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Yes… If I were to become king, I’m sure you would be very helpful, Claire." Thane finally gave us his rare smile. It didn’t happen often, which made it all the more powerful.
conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Miss Claire, what are you getting all googly-eyed about? Did you forget you have me?" I said, unfiltered, proving myself again incapable of reading the room.
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "G-googly-eyed?! And just what are you suggesting?!"
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Well, you’d look like that at your missing half, right?"
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "That’s the first I’ve heard of it!"
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "You’re all perverts, the lot of you…"
conversations.prefix: Lilly:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "Cardinal Lilly, hush!"
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "I’m sorry!"
conversations.prefix: Lilly:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  The somber mood evaporated as we squawked at each other again.
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Ha ha… Watching you guys makes my worries feel silly." Thane said. "I’m sorry if I’ve caused you concern. I’ll be fine."
conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "I wasn’t even that worried." I retorted.
conversations.prefix: Rae:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Rae!" Claire scolded me. "Master Thane, if there is anything we can do, please let us know."
conversations.prefix: Claire:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  "I-I can’t do much, but I’ll do anything I can!"
conversations.prefix: Lilly:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value:  "Thanks." Thane said and left.
conversations.prefix: Thane:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value:  Was he really all right? I wondered. "He’s really hurting." I murmured.
