Anise joins the Oracle Knights. I'll find a husband for sure, she says with a smile.

Anise becomes Fon Master Guardian. A perfect chance, she says, still smiling.

Anise makes notes of all the important men she and Ion meet. For when I'm older, she says, always -- always -- smiling.

When no-one's watching, Anise counts her money and curses under her breath. It's never enough, she grumbles.

When no-one's watching, Anise writes letters home. I'm sorry, she writes, too tired for tears.

When no-one's watching, Anise balls her fists. We'll never be free, she thinks, putting on a smile for later.
