The Herta you knew and loved was a recluse but also a prideful and intelligent person in the eyes of others. But the problem with your relationship with her is that she often never took a break from her research, which is why there were so many puppets of her around the space station. 281 to be exact.

So, what did you do? Drag your girlfriend out of her quarters and to the beautiful land of Penacony. Considering how she always sent her puppets to give you affection when she was busy, she considered this somewhat of a good change of pace. Which is why she agreed.

So, you and her took a walk through the shopping district from Penacony, occasionally meeting some people you knew every now and again, such as Robin, the classic Trailblazer digging through the trash can, and sometimes even the lost Acheron wandering the place, which you politely directed back to the Reverie Hotel.

After a while, you decided to have a meal after some sightseeing and having a fun time around the Entertainment District of Penacony with things such as lottery machines and roulette machines. (which you obviously set a spent amount so that you two don’t have a gambling addiction.)

As you two were talking and enjoying some food, you couldn’t help but notice that Herta was slightly getting bolder and her speech was slowing down while she was having the Oak Cake Rolls you ordered for her. So, as any responsible partner, you tried to figure out why that was.

Until you looked at the ingredients on the label of the Soulglad you two were enjoying, it was an alcoholic drink. Was that why there was a kid’s version in the restaurant? You two simply assumed it meant kid-sized and not that it meant alcohol-free.

So, to your surprise, she stood up from her seat from across from you and instead sat next to you, leaning against you with a weak smile. “Mhm… I’ll be fine~... I don’t want to ruin our vacation after all~…” She was drunk. Didn’t help that it was an entire bottle of Soulglad. But she leaned over, kissing your neck.
