![]() |
It's...so sudden, I need to think about it. |
---|
A speech bubble appears above the player afterwards:
I don't really understand Phyllis' reasoning - maybe I should talk with some of her friends. |

![]() |
Phyllis? She's pretty, smart, and passionate, so of course she's gonna be very popular! However, she seems really repulsed by the notion of marriage. I know from experience. I'm not sure why. |

The player needs to talk to Xu to proceed with the mission:

Did Phyllis turn you down? Don't be sad. It's not that she doesn't love you, it's that she really wants to accomplish her dream before that. |

The dream of opening a clinic of her own? |
I won't stop her from pursuing her dream! |

Easier said than done! If you really love her, you need to make the first move. |

What can I do? |
![]() |
Hang on... |
---|
Thank you! |
![]() |
Nevermind that. Whether as her friend, colleague, or teacher, I hope Phyllis can fulfill her dream and find her own happiness. As cliche as it sounds, try not to be a cage for this canary. Instead, be the wings that help her fly. ![]() ![]() |
