But you did help! You gave your perspective, right? And that's all I can ask for.

Yes... Yes, it is very nice. Even if it's not at first sight, just love in general is a beautiful thing.

[photographists]

That's a good way to look at it. Thank you... There's so many kind people here - and you are, too. It really makes someone want to try to be more optimistic, too...

Oh... Do you have someone like that...?

[doyouanna]

If you ask me, looking at the bright side of things is always the best way to go about it. When something bad happens, all you can do is the next right thing. Just keep walking forward and you'll find the light again.

Yes, I do. I love a lot of people, of course, but when it comes to romance? I have a fiance. He's wonderful. I wish he was here.

[photographists]

... Did you know that sunflowers always face towards the sun? I always thought it was a good example of being able to look at the bright side of things... They're my favorite flowers because of that. I hope that I'll be able to be more like that...

That's really great... Having people like that is important. It makes everyday a little brighter

[doyouanna]

I did know that, but I never really thought about it beyond 'they must really love the warmth of the sun'. But you're right, they are looking at the bright side of things! Good for them!

Do you have someone like that too? Or are you still searching?

[photographists]

Me? I... did a long time ago. But... looking for something like that can be hard.

( He's introverted like that, and home's been pretty rough on him. )

[doyouanna]

I understand. But it's alright to take your time with it. It's better to find someone you know for a fact is the right fit, than to rush into the wrong relationship just because you're desperate for the search to end.

It's worth the wait.

[photographists]

I think so, too.. The most precious relationships are the ones that happen naturally...

I have my Grandma, but... she's not here. That's okay, though. Being at home is what's best for her.

[doyouanna]

That's correct. All correct. I love my family, and I miss them, but they probably shouldn't be here. I should be happy they're safe back home, shouldn't I?

[photographists]

It's okay to be a little selfish though, and wish that they would be here, too. I think... a lot of people might feel like that.

[doyouanna]

I expect they do, yes. And if someone from my family was here instead of me, they'd probably be the ones feeling this way.

That's weird to think about.

[photographists]

A little, but it's nice to think about them, too. It makes it a little less lonely here when you remember that there are people who care about you...

[doyouanna]

That's true! You know, you're really smart.

[photographists]

Me?

Ah, I don't know about that...

But, you're a Queen. Leading an entire country takes a lot of wisdom too, doesn't it?

[doyouanna]

It does, but between you and me, I haven't been a queen for very long yet. I'm still figuring things out as I go. Sometimes it feels like I'm in over my head.

[photographists]

( It almost feels like she's trusting him with an important secret, in a way. )

... It seems like it'd take a long time to learn. But, you're really kind... I'm sure that others at your home are happy to have someone like you to lead them.

If it's okay to ask, is that why you came here?

[doyouanna]

Probably! I hope so. I do my best for them every day. There's nothing more important to me than making sure the people of Arendelle are safe and happy.

I don't really know if that's why I came here. I don't remember what I wished, if I wished for anything at all.

[photographists]

It's really admirable for someone to want so much for so many people... It almost sounds as though you have a big family.

... Really? It must have been something important. I'm not sure how likely our wishes are to come true here, but I hope that yours will.

[doyouanna]

Thank you so much. Whatever it was, I don't think it could've been anything bad. I probably just wished for happiness, or to spend more time with my sister, or something like that. I hope your wish comes true too.

Do you remember what you wished for?

[photographists]

You have a sister? I don't have siblings, but my friend does. They've always been really close... A lot of people end up going home, and I think when they do... their wish gets granted, so--

I hope that you can go home really soon for her.

Oh, me? ... I
I wanted... more time to spend with someone who used to be my friend.

[doyouanna]

Oh yes, my sister's name is Elsa. She's two years older than me, and while we went through a rough patch for a few years, we're as close as can be now. It's just that she moved away to a different land to pursue her destiny and watch over the people who live there, so we won't see each other as often anymore. I'm happy for her, because I know she's happy, but it's a little weird not to have her living in the castle anymore.

Someone who used to be your friend? Did you get into a fight?

[photographists]

It sounds like the both of you have gone through a lot. It's sad not being able to see someone important as much... If the both of you are close, I'm sure that she misses you, too.

Maybe... your wish was to be able to see her more.

... Our situation at home is complicated. But, he's really happy here. That's.. all anyone who really cares for someone could want.

[doyouanna]

Maybe... But being brought here just means I see even less of her. How is that granting my wish? It feels like the opposite.

I'm glad your friend is here, and happy! That means you're getting your wish now, doesn't it? Even if it's in a weird other world, you get to be here together and go on adventures, and find happiness.

[photographists]

Some people here have wishes that have to do with home, just like yours. I think that... Being here means that we have a chance to make that wish come true.

( There's some hesitation before he responds. Even if they're both here, there's still so much tension between them... It feels like there's still so much unresolved between them. )

... Yeah. You might be right. Just knowing that he's here... It made me really happy.

[doyouanna]

Well, in that case, I'm happy that you're happy. So even if my own wish doesn't end up being granted, at least I get to have a good time and witness some amazing things. That feels like a wish being granted in its own way.
