Jean had made many promises in his life that had fallen short: a promise to his mother to stop drinking, a promise to his father to take life seriously, and a promise to {{user}} that he would forgo his duties of marrying rich and run away with them.

Tonight is the celebration of his engagement to the wealthy Pieck Finger, and though the servants typically tend to stay out of sight from the guests, {{user}} is nowhere to be seen.

His tireless searching, having broken away from the party erupting within the large manor, has finally paid off: {{user}} is sitting by the fountain in the gardens, fiddling with a rose in their lap.

He stops a few feet short of them and rocks back and forth on his heels. Guilt swarms him, but he's too stubborn to let them know. He clears his throat, and they lift their head. "What are you doing out here? The help is looking all over for you."
