;(Talk to Molli)
:Molli: Oh, you two, you're back!
:Paimon: Paimon's name's Paimon, and 's . Just call us by our names from now on!
: Did you come to see Benoit?
:Molli: That's right, but I didn't get a chance to speak to him... *sigh* Looks like I won't be able to finish my essay at this rate.
:Paimon: Your essay? Oh, right! You were doing good deeds because you had homework.
:Molli: Hey, that's not true! I really do like Mr. Benoit. He's really... smooth! Yes, that's right, smooth.
:Paimon: Pfft, what kind of descriptor is that? You mean he's personable and a good communicator, don't you?
:Molli: Anyway, please, Ms. Paimon, could you help me, please? If you don't, my essay's toast!
:Molli: My tutor said that my essay about helping him to feed his cat was "Unpotentius and filled with genuine emotion from margin to margin," and she wanted me to write another.
:Paimon: What? "Unpotentius"? Don't you mean "Unpretentious"? Anyway, Paimon gets it. So that's why you needed to come back.
:Molli: Well, it is my homework, sure, but I really do like Mr. Leroy. He wanted me to say hi to my parents for him, and so I did.
:Molli: They were really upset when they heard his name though, and they didn't want me to come. I don't really know why...
:Paimon: Well, if it's just for homework, it's easy, isn't it? You can just talk about how you fed the cat again!
:Molli: But that would only be one line! That's too little, no way.
: We'll go with you.
:Paimon: Yeah, that's right. You can feed the cat, and we'll clean the entrance and the rear of the house.
:Paimon: And when we're done, we'll knock on the door and talk to Benoit. That'll give you enough content to write about, right?
:Molli: That's right, we can do that! You're so smart, Ms. Paimon. Let me go feed the cat right now!
;(Interact with the door, optional)
:Door: (Nobody's answering, and there are no sounds from inside.)
;(Interact with the strange boxes, optional)
:Strange Boxes: (Old, decrepit heavy boxes covered in layers of dust. Their presence here in the usually bright and clear Court of Fontaine is quite jarring.)
:Strange Boxes: (The bases of these boxes have collected a lot of clear water stains over the years. They must have once been piled in an exceedingly damp location.)
:Strange Boxes: (Never mind the stains on the door — these boxes look to be in far more urgent need of a cleanup.)
;(Talk to Molli, optional)
:Molli: Nana, Nana, why is Mr. Leroy ignoring me? Do you know why?
;(Talk to Nana, optional)
:Nana: Meow, meow-meow.
;(Clean the marked areas)
;(Observing the food bowl after cleaning, optional) 
:Nana's Food Bowl: The bowl contains a slab of fish. Nana seems most pleased.
;(Talk to Molli)
:Molli: Ms. Paimon, , I've fed the cat.
:Paimon: Nice! Okay, let's go see Mr. Leroy.
:Molli: I'm worried, though. Maybe he won't come out? When I've come by to see him lately, he hasn't even spoken to me.
:Molli: Before you arrived, I went and knocked, but just as he came out, that scary son-in-law of his came and dragged him back inside.
:Molli: He then gave me some sweets and told me to go back to my parents. Then he shut the door.
:Paimon: Geez. Benoit's such a chill guy, so why are his family members such a chilly bunch?
:Molli: Mr. Leroy's son-in-law said that Mr. Leroy was ill and couldn't see me, but I thought he looked fine, so why couldn't he speak to us?
:Molli: Honestly, I'm more worried about Mr. Leroy than I am about my essay.
:Molli: He must feel terrible if he's ill. Mama told me that sick people need our care and concern.
:Molli: So, could you come with me to ask that son-in-law what sort of illness Mr. Leroy has?
:Molli: Maybe he ate too much cake, or he slept without a blanket? I can ask my parents about what to do!
: Regardless, let's knock on the door first.
: Well, we made an agreement, didn't we?
:Molli: I know, I'm just... a bit scared of that scary son-in-law, because he's... well, scary. Could you help me speak to him?
:Paimon: Don't be afraid, Molli. We've got this.
;(Talk to Molli again, optional)
:Molli: , could you do the knocking?
;(Knock on the door)
:
:Athos: You again? What in the world do you want?
:Paimon: Could we ask if Benoit's home? We heard he fell ill, so we're kinda worried about his health.
:Athos: My father is home, but he's in no condition to be receiving guests.
:Molli: Could we ask what he's come down with? I could ask my parents to help get him some medicine.
:Athos: No need. We'll buy what medicines are needed ourselves — not that he has any lack of medicine, anyway.
:Paimon: We're just concerned for his health. You don't have to be so cold...
:Paimon: (Athos just doesn't want to let us see Benoit!)
: (This is past cold, he's downright frigid...)
: (He sure turned down the temperature quickly...)
:Athos: You concern yourself too much with business that is not your own. Very well. Was there anything else? If not, I'll be heading back.
: Wait.
:Athos: What is it?
: Is Benoit really ill?
::Athos: Of course he is. Very seriously, in fact. Morticia and I will think of something, though. There's no need for you — or anyone else, for that matter — to worry.
: Why are you trying to prevent us from seeing Benoit?
::Athos: And why must I allow completely unrelated people to see my father? Like I said earlier, he's in no condition to see guests.
:Morticia: Athos, what's that disturbance outside?
:Athos: Nothing, Morticia, just a few kids saying that they want to see Dad.
:Morticia: ...
:Morticia: You really do get along well with children, don't you, Dad?
:Morticia: Well, since these kids want to see you, why don't you go say hello to them?
:Benoit Leroy: ...I'd like to... Can I?
:Morticia: Of course you can, Dad. You're in charge.
:
:Benoit Leroy: Ah, it's you again, little ones. You're back.
:Molli: How are you feeling, Mr. Leroy?
:Benoit Leroy: Me? *cough* Oh, I'm not doing quite so fine, but not to worry, I'm doing my best to rest up.
:Benoit Leroy: My daughter and son-in-law are taking very good care of me, so all is well — just run along home, if you would.
:Athos: Are you sure you're alright, Dad? If it's too much for you, you should go back inside.
:
:Athos: Well? So you've seen him for yourselves, then. My father really is unwell. Does that satisfy you? If there's nothing else, I'm going back inside.
:Paimon: We...
:
:Molli: Well, at least we got to say a few words to Mr. Leroy. *sigh* I do hope he gets better soon.
:Molli: Looks like I caused trouble for other people, Ms. Paimon. That... wasn't what I wanted...
:Paimon: Don't think that way! You weren't any trouble at all! In fact, Paimon thinks that Athos guy is the real problem here!
:Paimon: Hmph. The entire time, he was just...
: You should go home first, Molli.
: Paimon and I will be heading back as well.
:Paimon: Eh? , you...
:Molli: True, I should head back as well. My parents don't like it when I come here, you know? They'd get mad if they knew I came today...
:Molli: I don't know if we'll get to see Mr. Leroy again. I really wanted to tell him that his snacks were super tasty.
:Molli: Well, could you help me tell him that if you see him — after he gets better, I mean?
: No problem.
: You have my word.
:Paimon: And Paimon's, too!
:Molli: Alright. Thank you, !
:Molli: I've gotta go home now. See you!
:Paimon: What do you think, ? Paimon noticed you had "I've got something to say" written all over your face as soon as she looked at you!
: Let's talk over there.
: Best not to speak too loudly right here.
:Paimon: Sure, let's go talk somewhere else.
:Paimon: Will this place do? C'mon, tell Paimon what's on your mind.
: There's something off about that couple.
::Paimon: Paimon thinks so too. One of them talks a whole bunch, and the other barely says a word.
:: The timing of their appearance was too convenient to be a coincidence.
::Paimon: You mean to say that they showed up just as Benoit was thinking about hiring some hourly help, right?
::Paimon: Euphrasie said that he was still hiring half a year ago, but in that time...
:: This couple became his children.
::Paimon: You're right. Everything's just too deliberate... There's definitely something going on with this couple!
:;(Return to option selection)
: There's something fishy about their relationship with Benoit.
::Paimon: When we first met them a few days back, things still seemed fine, but there's something... awkward about the way they spoke today.
:: He's being coerced by his son-in-law.
:::Paimon: Are you talking about how that son-in-law guy gave him a look and made him go inside after he'd only said one or two things?
:: Benoit's daughter is coercing him.
:::Paimon: Well, Paimon didn't quite think that far, but the way she spoke sure did give Paimon goosebumps...
::Paimon: Now that you mention it, Paimon kinda gets where that confused feeling was coming from.
:;(Return to option selection)
: The way this couple deals with outsiders doesn't sit right with me.
::Paimon: Exactly. They were nice enough when we first met them, but they sure turned rotten quickly.
:: They were only friendly to us when their father was around.
::Paimon: Hmm... Let Paimon think. That's true. The first time we met, it was right after Benoit went inside that his son-in-law told us not to come around again.
:: They're faking it.
::Paimon: But why would they pretend to be friendly in front of their dad? There's gotta be a reason for it...
:;(Return to option selection)
;(After choosing the other 3 options)
: Well, that's all I've got for now.
:Paimon: Um, ... Do you think Benoit's in some kinda danger?
: Indeed.
:Paimon: Ohhh, Paimon's got a bad feeling about this. Should we report it to the Maison Gardiennage?
: We've got no evidence.
: The situation is still pretty murky.
: We don't know how Benoit feels about all this.
:Paimon: Hmm, that's true, that's true. But in the end, we're here to help him, right?
:Paimon: Molli asked us to tell Benoit that his snacks were super tasty, and we gave her our word.
: And our word is our sacred bond.
:Paimon: Hehe, Paimon knows you always keep your promises! Well, you've got a good brain, too, so what's our next move?
: Let's do some investigating.
:Paimon: Yeah, let's get to the bottom of this case! Hmm... What should we investigate, specifically?
: The identity of the couple.
: The couple's goals.
: How Benoit feels about them.
:Paimon: That's right! Look out, world — Ace Detectives Paimon and are going to expose the truth!
;(Interact with the door after completing quest, optional)
:Door: You hear nothing within the house. No one speaks, and you hear no footsteps either.
:Door: It's a bit strange how silent Benoit's household is. Almost as if the place is empty.
