I need some help from you... Since you're the one who owns this house. [ and is technically her guardian, but she leaves that part out, because she's trying to appeal to his nice side! ... if he has one. ]

Would it be okay if you let me take piano lessons...? [ (she wants an allowance to pay for it, please and thank you) ]

[HE IS... actually okay with this. Everyone should know how to play at least one, ideally several instruments. But he would like to see the full picture here. As in, why she's asking him instead of just doing it]

Why is it you need my permission for this? It's not my concern how you spend your time.

Uhh... I don't have a lot of money left, d-definitely not enough for piano lessons. [ she needs a job, the only solution. ]

But if it's too much trouble for you, then you don't have to worry... [ even though she sounds REALLY SAD when she says that part. ]

[It's not because Nanako is sad that he's considering it, it's more because the skill itself is useful. And well, it's not like he was entirely broke here or anything. He had money now. But well, he could probably get something out of this, right?]

You do chores around the house, don't you? I suppose I can pay you for that. How much do lessons cost?

[ whatever she was expecting, it definitely was not that. byakuya togami, her angel from above. ]

O-Oh... [ she was not prepared for this! she flips through the pamphlet stormer gave her until she finds a dollar sign. ]

For the piano, it's seven dollars an hour. [ seven dollars is a lot of money. can togami pay all of that? ]

[Seven dollars isn't even pocket change for him. Really, the price surprises him. He didn't think it would be that cheap. His piano lessons no doubt weren't.]

What kind of piano teacher charges only $7 an hour for lessons? What qualifications do they have?

S-Since I'm a student, it's five dollars less. Otherwise, it would have been twelve dollars an hour. [ be grateful for this holy discount, togami. ]

Was that a qualification? [ nanako... ]

[it's lesson time with Byakuya Togami, I guess.]

Where did they learn to play piano? Where have they performed? Who are they?

Her name is Mary Phillips, and she learned how to play when she was even younger than me, Togami-san! She's really amazing... She was in a band at home, and she can play a lot of instruments! [ what, did you think there was a scam artist in holly heights, togami... ]

[Not a scam artist, he just doesn't see the point of taking lessons from someone that's not well-known for what they do.]

Playing many instruments doesn't mean one's good at all of them. I can't say I know how old you are [lol because it didn't interest him and he didn't bother to ask], but that's the standard age anyone from the Togami family, at the very least, would learn an instrument.

[he might complain a lot about whoever Mary Phillips is, but he'll still pay anyway. Probably.]

I'm seven... [ but you know what, she doesn't even care if he doesn't know. she now she doesn't care either anyway!

... BUT SHE WILL TAKE THAT AS A YES. ]

So I can learn...? [ Absolute Shock. ] Thank you so much, Togami-san!

[If he were a nice person, he'd maybe say "you're welcome" or "good luck with your lessons," but Togami is not a nice person. So instead--]

See to it that I'm not wasting my time funding this. I won't hesitate to cancel this arrangement if there's no improvement on your end. [that's kind of good luck.....?]

I promise, I'll learn a lot and do the best I can! [ she can see it now - togami coming to the conservatorium to watch her play a song. he's left in tears. she is a prodigy.

... in her dreams. ]
