Argenti's Palace

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

[Sayaka starts for a moment, because she's not trying to get caught unaware again. The...smile, it catches her off guard, and it hits that Sayaka doesn't know if she's being talked to or if it's someone else.

She pauses a bit, looking at it calmly, and wipes the sweat forming on her head. Nodding with her resolve.]

...I know that well, but even so, I...I will keep going no matter what. I promised someone important to me that. I won't go back on it. I won't fail.

[Sayaka isn't sure if she should bring the picture with her, really, but...well, a part of her wants to pick it up anyway. Is it very heavy? Otherwise she'll look to Aaron and--]

Maybe we should get back downstairs and help the others? I don't know if there's anything else we can find, but...

[If she wants to carry the painting back down, he would be willing to help but it's definitely not on his list of priorities right now, especially if it's left blank.]

There's that shadow watching us, but I dunno if we wanna mess around with that right now, especially when there's only two of us. Going back downstairs sounds good to me -- we can always come back here later.

Let's go see if the others need help.

[...Which does mean Sayaka will leave the painting behind, though she does try to set it against a wall out of respect.

Come on, let's go see if anyone else needs help!]

[ The shadow will watch as Sayaka does that...and gives a wave as if saying 'goodbye'.

Then it will dissipate, along with the painting. ]
