Title: Marie's First Love
Box: May 1759
Box 2: Behind Paris City Hall
St. Gervais
Church
Char: Now then, Marie, offer a prayer.

Page 166-167:
Char: This is a grave for the suicides, heretics,
and the people that were executed, the people that cannot be taken in by a normal church.
Guarding over the restful sleep of those that we took our blades to is also an important duty of the Sanson Family.
Title: n°97 Marie's First Love

Page 168:
Char: I need to have a word with the priest,
so you wait here, okay, Marie?
Marie: Yes, Big Brother.
Alain: ...Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them-----
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.
Bottom: From 'The Gospel of Mark 10:14-16'.

Page 169:
Alain: ......That's all for today.
Today is the the Feast of the Ascension,
so I brought a present for all of you.
Kids: Waah! It's bread!
Bread!
I haven't eaten any in months!
Alain: Don't push! There's enough for everyone.
Now, everyone get in line.
Here you are.
Girl: Waa! It has a ribbon on it!
Alain: That's because they're presents!
GIrl: Merci, Alain!!
Alain: And the last one is for you...

Page 170:
Girl: Wah! Only mine... has this very beautiful ribbon?!!
Merci, Alain!!!
Al: I didn't have enough ribbons, so a kind Mademoiselle gave that to me as a favor.
Aren't you glad, Christine?!!
Chris: I've never seen a ribbon that glistens so beautifully...
I'm gonna take a nice careful look at it over there!!!
Marie: Thief.

Page 171:
Marie: That's Marie's ribbon.
Give it back.
Alain: Sorry, Marie.
But it made her so happy.
Marie: Marie doesn't care! Give it back!!
Alain: Please, look. For the first time in her life, that orphan girl
is getting to touch a high-quality silk ribbon like that. He's just realized that there's a whole world out there she knows nothing about.
You have lots of them, don't you? But just one of them
has opened a new door for her...
Marie: So what?

Page 172:
Marie: Marie doesn't really care about that ribbon,
but Marie has no reason to make that girl happy.
That pisses Marie off.
Ala: ...Ok. I promise I'll give it back.
But I'll need you to wait 10...
no, 20 years, would you?
Marie: Huh?
Ala: The children of that orphanage are poor and have nothing right now,
but hope and dreams will change them.
And if that happens, this country will become plentiful. And in the future, an even more magnificent ribbon will find its way to your hands.
Marie: ......

Page 173:
Ala: Money and property may get stolen or lost, but no one can take the dreams and hope that burn in your heart.
It is the children that will change this country's future.
Boys, girls, all of them have that power.
I'm certain your dream will come true as well,
Mademoiselle, Sanson.

Page 174:
Anne: Marie, women are not people!!!
Without a man, they cannot live in this world! They are below livestock!
And if you cannot understand that, you cannot live in this world!!!
Marie: This sucks...

Page 175:
Le premier amour de Marie...
(Marie's first love)

Page 176:
Luxe: Y-You sure are acting high and mighty for a café au lait....!!!
Do not belittle our power!!!
Alain: !!!
Marie: You came back, Alain...?
Alain: You surprised me... Is that you, Marie?!!
Marie-Josephe Sanson?!!!

Page 177:
Guy: Hoist the sail!
We're shipping out!!!
Alain: Farewell, Marie.
I promise I'll come back with a plan to bring happiness to children all across France.
To do that, I'll have to see the world with my own eyes.
Marie: Adieu, Alain.
I swear I'll make my dream come true, too.
Alain: Adieu, Marie.
Take care...
Marie: Alain.

Page 178-179:
Marie: Let's make it a race to see
whose dream comes true first-----...

Page 180:
Alain: Marie-Josephe, seeing you with that appearance,
makes me think I must have lost out race.
But listen to me, Marie...
I have arranged a plan to open a school
that will accept any children in Paris.
France is going to change, Marie!!!

Page 181:
Alain: I must have you for the first generation of students at my school,
Mademoiselle.
Girl: "School"?
Blanka: Kikih!
Girl: Kyah!
Alain: It seems Blanka is extending an invitation to you as well!
Marie: With all the people around Marie changing,
you have not changed at all in 13 years, have you?
Merci, Alain......

Page 182:
Narration: A few days later
Guys: Look. It's supposed to be that building.
That "café au lait" is gathering grub worm children there
What nerve... A residence where he intends to give them the same teachings as us...
Such evil thoughts should be turned to ash posthaste.
This is so that we aristocrats... so that all of France may prosper------...!!!
