Expand for walk-through.
Footage 1-1:
Today, we're recording a show about classical poetry. It needs to be refined and sophisticated.
I invited Lucien to be a guest. I thought since his specialty is neuroscience that he wouldn't participate in a poetry show, but he said yes.
MC: Actually, he shouldn't just be labeled a neuroscientist. He's more like an all-around genius type.
As I'm thinking this, Lucien waved at me from afar.
MC: Lucien, thank you for coming, even though the topic is classical poetry.
Lucien: You look worried. Why? You don't have confidence in me?
MC: (Waving hands) I didn't mean that.
Lucien: If you don't think I can't do it, you can replace me.
He looked at me gently, which made me feel a little uneasy.
MC: No. It's not like that.
MC: I think there's no one better than you.
MC: (Turning around) Attention guys! We are about to start!
Lucien smiled upon hearing my words.
Lucien: (Smiling and waving) Thank you. See you in a bit.
Footage 1-2:
You're making one last round before the taping for a game show centering on ancient poetry starts.
Special Event #1
You notice a page is missing from the script... [Type: Variety, Sports (Recommended: Rabbitgirl, Iluka, Tysona, or Karyu)]
Perfect: (Expert's Name) scours the whole studio and finds it under a desk.
Normal: (Expert's Name) sifts through all the garbage bins and dumpsters, though no one knows why...
Failure: (Expert's Name) is totally oblivious. Good luck finding anything.
Give-Up: If only there's a way to track every page of every script... It's too late so you make the scriptwriter improvise.
Special Event #2
Someone needs to fix the sound system as it plays the same song over and over... [Type: Variety, Rational (Recommended: Kalvin, Bruce, Fatony, Joey, Peggy, Kyle, Freeman, Jade, Fanks, or Spine)]
Perfect: (Expert's name) jumps on it and gets the system working again.
Normal: (Expert's name) tears the system apart but can't put it back together.
Failure: (Expert's name) shuts off the system and says he can take over as a human boombox...
Give-Up: Is Lucien laughing at this? No cookies for him! You call for a pro repair technician but must postpone taping.
Event Feedback
Equipment are fine, script is fine, everything's fine. It should be a good taping.
Footage 1-3:
You visit the contestants and offer them a final word of encouragement.
Special Event #1
You need someone to recoordinate the outfits of a competing team... [Type: Variety, Style (Recommended: Joey, Kyle, Jade, Fanks, or Arnold)]
Perfect: (Expert's name) recoordinates quickly to make the members look good.
Normal: (Expert's name) makes them change into outfits that clash with the background.
Failure:(Expert's name) thinks it's easier to change the set's background.
Give-Up: It's an oversight on our part. There's no time so you let them on the set, but it turns out OK.
Fate Event
You want to buy Lucien lunch as a thank-you... [Required: Romance]
Perfect: He nods and you can tell he's happy.
Heartbreak: He politely declines and gently offers the excuse that he has business elsewhere to attend to.
Give-Up: Lucien had helped me a lot, but why would he do that?
You reconsider and decide to use the time to get more studio work done instead.
Event Feedback
A lot of them seem very antsy, hope they don't freeze up during the show.
Footage 1-4:
The show's about to tape. Lucien must've sensed my anxiety, because he comes over to make sure I'm alright.
Special Event #1
You need someone to talk to a spectator who keeps shouting out the answers... [Type: Variety, Rational (Recommended: Kalvin, Bruce, Fatony, Joey, Peggy, Kyle, Freeman, Jade, Fanks, or Spine)]
Perfect: (Expert's name) reaches an understanding with the spectator to restores order.
Normal: (Expert's name) argues with the spectator and takes a beating.
Failure: (Expert's name) is too apologetic and gets completely ignored.
Give-Up: You know, maybe we should let that guy participate next time. You talk to the spectator yourself and manage to get him to at least dial back some.
Fate Event
You slip during taping and reflexively reach out for Lucien... [Required: Romance]
Perfect: He lunges forward and catches you in his warm, steady arms.
Heartbreak: He grabs you by the elbow and holds you up. You feel soreness in that elbow.
Give-Up: Ugh, why now! In front of Lucien yet! How am I going to regroup? He isn't paying attention to you, so you crash hard to the ground and your high heels bounce into the frame.
Event Feedback
We're halfway done, and so far Lucien's literary savvy amazes me to no end!

Normal: (Expert's name) makes the kid wail with harsh words.
Failure: (Expert's name) covers the kid's mouth and carries him backstage.
Give-Up: It's natural for a kid to be jittery on stage for the first time. Stop taping, resume when the kid's calm and ready.
Special Event #2
Lucien informs you off-stage he spotted mistakes with a few questions... [Type: Variety, Rational (Recommended: Fatony, Joey, Peggy, Kalvin, Kyle, Bruce, Freeman, Jade, Fanks, or Spine)]
Perfect: (Expert's name) corrects the problem to ensure the shows integrity.
Normal: (Expert's name) makes the problem worse. The show becomes a laughing stock.
Failure: (Expert's name) insists the questions were correct and Lucien is wrong, but that's proven untrue.
Give-Up: Was it my imagination or did I just see a smirk on Lucien's face? There's no time so you use emergency backups. However, they're backups because they're easy to answer...
Event Feedback
I'm celebrating the taping's completion with a pirouette!

Failure: (Expert's name) skips it entirely and sneaks out on a date.
Give-Up: Don't know why I'm nervous about seeing Lucien... You don't feel right passing your work off on someone so you make Lucien wait while you finish it up.
Fate Event
You ask Lucien if he really could see into the heart of anyone... [Required: Diligent]
Perfect: He smiles and replies "Yes, most people." the says he likes the one he couldn't...
Heartbreak: He pauses and says, "Perhaps."
Give-Up: Lucien has a gentleness about him that makes me not want to leave.. You don't wait for an answer from him before mocking yourself for the dumb question.
Event Feedback
As I watched the monitor, I couldn't help but think the Lucien I know is just the side he chose to show.
Footage 1-7:
After work, Lucien and I took a long walk.
The dim lights stretched our shadows long and thin.
MC: Lucien.
Lucien: (Smiling) Yes?
MC: Thank you...
Lucien: (Laughing)
MC: What are you laughing at?
Lucien: Every time you ask me to help you out, you say thank you in a reserved manner.
Lucien: (Raising his eyebrows) Why? Are you scared of me?
MC: (Quickly waving my hand) No. I just want to thank you sincerely.
MC: I was trying to... umm... uh...
Why am I stuttering? I'm not usually like that.
Lucien: You are welcome.
MC: Huh?
Lucien: Take it easy.
Lucien: I didn't help you to feel indebted to me.
MC: Okay...
Lucien: And I'm just helping out when I can...
MC: It's good to know you.
Lucien glanced at me and smiled gently.
MC: This is me...
MC: Thank you for walking me home.
Lucien and I stood under the streetlight, the warm yellow lights shining on us.
MC: Umm...
Lucien: Can you do something for me?
Lucien: Don't be so afraid of me.
Lucien: You don't need to be so reserved when you're with me.
MC: Okay...
Lucien: I'm looking forward to it. Good night.
Lucien waved at me and then left.
I watched him walking away.
He is really hard to understand.
The Mind Reader
Expand for walk-through.
Footage 2-1:
Today I'm going to make a show called The Mind Reader. I asked Lucien to be the guest on the first episode.
This show is about helping people with different types of psychological problems. It will be quite professional.
I double-checked each part of the process to avoid any possible mistakes in the recording. Lucien watched me as I worked busily. I looked up and saw Lucien smiling at me.
MC: Lucien, when did you get here?
Lucien: I just arrived. You were busy, so I didn't want to disturb you. You look a little nervous. Everything all right?
MC: Everything's fine. It's just the first time I've made such a professional show.
Lucien: Would you like to hear my opinion?
I nodded.
Lucien: Just accept the tension. The close your eyes and imagine yourself in a relaxing environment...
I followed his advice and closed my eyes. I imagined myself taking a stroll on the beach and leaving footprints...
I felt much better when I opened my eyes.
MC: It really worked! Thank you, Lucien.
Lucien: You're welcome. Don't worry. You can do this.

Normal: (Expert's Name) gives a lukewarm effort, nothing special.

Perfect: (Expert's Name) does just that, maximum exposure at minimal cost.

Awesome, the promo has people talking online!

Normal: (Expert's Name) takes one look and say there's nothing anyone can do to fix it.
Failure: (Expert's Name) hurts self without fixing the door.
Give-Up: Man, who would've think, a broken door... No one can fix it so the guests will have to get on the stage another way.
Fate Event
Lucien asks you whether you would shun him if he was a sideshow freak... [Required: Courage]
Perfect: Thinking back to how gentle and helpful he's been, you tell him, "Not at all!"
Heartbreak: Thinking back to his deliberate smiles and possible motives, you get nervous and don't answer.

Perfect: Lucien holds you in his arms and gently calms you down.
Heartbreak: Lucien asks a crew member to take you off the set.
Give-Up: I've been through this before, but why can't I remember? Lucien is focusing on the chaotic scene and paying no attention to you.

Failure: (Expert's Name) is still at it when the lecture's almost over.
Give-Up: Well, not many doormen would take their job seriously like that nowadays... You get through after begging and pestering the doorman.
Fate Event
Lucien smiles at you sporadically during the lecture. [Required: Romance]
Perfect: Lucien's making me blush, the way he keeps looking at me...
Normal: Why is he looking my way? Is there something wrong with me? Do I look all right?
Give-Up: I'm growing more fond of Lucien's smiles everyday for sure! You check again and see Lucien isn't looking at you. You think it's all in your imagination.
Event Feedback
The lecture was fantastic and Lucien was amazingly erudite as usual.
Footage 2-7:
As usual, Lucien's lecture has no empty seats. His humorous style of teaching makes the audience laugh a lot.
The sun shone down on the brown desk from the window. It's all so warm and comfortable.
I closed my eyes and listen to Lucien's soothing voice.
The classroom is empty when I wake up. A coat is covering my shoulders.
Lucien: Are you awake?
Following the voice, I saw Lucien reading next to me.
MC: How...How did I fall asleep?
Lucien: (Smiling) I want to know that too. Was my lecture too boring?
MC: No, no. It was very interesting.
MC: Sorry. I must have been too tired from work...
Lucien: It's okay if I put you to sleep, as long as you slept well.
I tried to take off the coat and give it to Lucien.
Lucien: Keep it. It's cold outside. Let me accompany you home.
He put the coat on me carefully.
Walking with Lucien in the cool night breeze, I felt at ease.
Sorry, I Love You

Footage 3-1:
We're going to make a show which helps mediate problems between parents and their children.
Lucien knows psychology. Maybe I can ask him to be a guest.
With this in mind, I went to Lucien.
Lucien: You really think so? Then I might disappoint you.
MC: Why?
Lucien: I'm only good at scientific research.
MC: But you always seem to know what I'm thinking.
Lucien: Because you're special. I can't help trying to learn more about you.
MC: But...You're so patient and attentive with everyone around you.
Lucien: You really want me to come?
MC: (Nodding) Yes!
Lucien: (Smiling) I hope I won't let you down.
MC: (Delighed) You've never let me down before!
Lucien said yes to my invitation. With him as the guest, I'm sure tomorrow's filming will be successful.

Lucien and I left the studio. We were now walking back home together.
I was really amazed by Lucien's performance.
MC: Lucien, you were awesome. You saw through to their problems so quickly.
Lucien: (Smiling) Sometimes, people are easy to see through.
MC: Lucien, someone like you must have a good relationship with their parents.
Lucien: Someone like me?
MC: Yes. Someone who understands people like you must have a good family relationship.
Lucien: I don't spend a lot of time with my parents.
Lucien: They're in another country. We just call each other from time to time. So we don't actually talk a lot.
MC: I see...
I lowered my head and felt a little depressed. Lucien seemed to notice my change in mood.
Lucien: What's the matter?
MC: I'm thinking of my dad...
MC: Sometimes you can't keep your loved ones close to you as long as you would wish.
Lucien stopped and looked at me.
MC: (Smiling) My father would be happy to see how much I've grown.
Lucien said nothing. He patted my shoulder with encouragement, comfort, and warmth.
