[Huffs another light chuckle.]

As expected. [Good! A task... well done!]

Hey, can I ask for something selfish?

[aspirings]

[Hm...?]

Yes, of course! What is it?

[heartstringless]

Can we dance just for a few minutes more? Just for fun.

[Even if the rose has already bloomed.]

[aspirings]

Oh!

[A big smile spreads across his face at that, and he gladly offers Pinocchio his hand again.]

Of course we can! That isn't selfish at all!

May I have this dance, then?

[heartstringless]

[He takes it, his grin spanning wider.]

Thanks, my prince!

[They'll enjoy another dance together then! In retrospect, this will be one of the more memorable highlights of his stay in this place — a little bit of light amid all the gloom.]
