Shadow (S): She's still angry. I miss her.
Lunatic (L): This from someone who told me a mere butterfly isn't worth watching. Probably she's found some better garden. Stop whining and help me look for a better problem.
S: Find. That. Butterfly. That's the only problem I need you to solve. I'm worried for her.
L: Fine, I'll search. But not too long.
(Finds the Butterfly crumpled under a jasmine plant)
L: She's dead. No, wait, she's hurt.
S: Get her to a sheltered space. What happened to her? Her wings are all bent.
Butterfly (B): Went up on the mountain to explore...Got caught in a snowstorm. Don't worry, I heal fast.
S: Nonsense, you need help. Rest, we'll get you some flowers.
L: We will? Oh, ok. But why did you go up that mountain anyway? There are no flowers there. It gets hard to breathe if you go up.
B:Had to see it for myself. And you're wrong -there are the most beautiful flowers there. I'm glad I could see them.
L: Glad! After all this trouble?
B: It was worth it. But you won't understand.
S: I do. Here are some flowers.
B: Thanks.
L: You were right. You are unsolvable. I must find some other problem for myself.
B: Thank you.
