T-Thank you for saving me from there, Mun. I don't know how long it's been since I-I've talked to someone.

....

[ She goes silent, more or less at a loss for words. ]

... Mary?

[This Ib is a grown up woman who's wearing clothes almost identical to the ones she had in the paiting world. And she looks somehow worried.]

[paintingsdemise]

[ She's really quiet for a bit. Then, very faintly: ]

I-Ib? Is that... you?

[forgottenredportrait]

[She's approaching her with caution. saving her? From what? The paintings in the gallery all loved Mary]

Yes, it's me...

[Still, she looks like a grown up woman and, eventually, 'feels' like a painting]

[paintingsdemise]

[ She practically barrels into Ib without warning, hugging her waist like there's no tomorrow ]

You got to escape from the gallery, too? I'm so glad! I'm sorry I left you there, I'm so sorry!

[ Ib's dress shirt is getting wet. ]

[forgottenredportrait]

[So... that's what happened in there, uh? Her mun told her about that... if possible even darker universe. She leans closer, petting gently the now younger girl.]

It's okay, I know you had no other choice. You did good, Mary, you did good: you found your way out and, with time, I managed to escape with Garry. Everyone wins. [It's a lie but... she's trying to make her feel a little better]
