I...I don't recall attending a ball. Or the promise.
[ Marianne begins hesitantly, searching her memories for what Claude could mean. If the promise to reunite was important enough that Claude held onto hope of it for years, they must not have made it lightly. She would have remembered if they threw a ball, if only because she would have fret and shied away from it, withdrawn as she was back then.
Little does she know the Marianne of another time would have been swayed into attending. Hilda would do her hair and fuss over her dress and Lorenz would ask her to her first dance of the night, and when her social batteries were exhausted she would wallflower by the banquet tables, hiding in Raphael's shadow. They would watch Claude pull their stoic Professor onto the dance floor for a night of carefree celebration. The Marianne of this timeline looks at Claude with confusion. ]
