That would be great.
Are you purchasing tickets for 'A Hundred Years of Convenient Romance'?
...
No one's here.
This is the first time I've seen a public space in Babylonia empty...
No, this is my first time in the theatre.
...This isn't a place for Constructs.
Okay.
Do I... put this on now?
Hmm...
Bianca replies with an earnest "yes," then she sits straight and observes how you put on the device. Afterward, her golden irises stare straight at you, unaware of how close the two of you have become.
...Thank you.

With the equipment calibrated, the opening credits begin to play. The giant logo of Galactic Pictures appears in the air, followed by all the production studios involved.
As the movie plays, Bianca focuses intensely on it, her eyes widening, her brows frowning as the story ebbs and flows. When a zombie rushes toward Bianca, she looks as if she has just witnessed a new kind of Corrupted.
What is that?
Is that so...
I think the Corrupted might be cuter...
As the plot unfolds, the romantic comedy part of the movie becomes obvious. As the protagonists meet each other in a hilarious manner, Bianca's solemn expression begins to relax.
Hah...
Bianca pays no attention to you. Her eyes are glued to the moving pictures, her mind obsessed with where the story is going.
It will only make it more devastating when his hidden identity is discovered. Lies are the prologues of tragedies, after all...
If his lie is exposed...
Is it impossible for a human and non-human to get a happy ending?
What are you laughing at?
Bianca is too preoccupied with the movie to notice what you said. She bites her lips, having seen another nonsensical sequence.
God blesses you...
Please get through this safely...

Sorry?

With the equipment calibrated, the opening credits begin to play. The giant logo of Allen Brothers appears in the air, followed by all the production studios involved.
As the movie plays, Bianca focuses intensely on it, her eyes widening, her brows frowning as the story ebbs and flows. When Dominik shows up, she looks as if she has just witnessed a new kind of Corrupted.
So that is Dominik...
I've heard so many rumors of him on Babylonia, but this is the first time I've seen his face...
When the magnificent lead actress shows up, Bianca is already fully swayed by the characters. She leans forward as if trying to reach for the figures in the movie.
This Construct...
...Is so beautiful.
As the plot unfolds, the story reaches its climax, with Dominik about to leave his lover for the battlefield, and Bianca's expressions intensify.
War is hell. Oh, brave Dominik, I'm sure that God will hear your prayers...
Why would Dominik leave her like this...?
Who can say if this story is not real?
How many lovers had parted because of the war...
Fixated, Bianca's eyes begin to turn red.
Bianca is too preoccupied with the movie to notice what you said. She bites her lips, having witnessed the characters' nonsensical separation.
God blesses you...
Please get through this safely...
