"Because sis read it in the newspaper." Catherine loves these two innocent yet resilient children. They've earned their fame in the arts solely through their own hard work, and such tirelessly striving children are always endearing: "It's written clearly in the newspaper that you two will perform before midnight. You are truly amazing, performing at the New Year celebration, before tens of thousands of spectators. I wouldn't even dare to dream of doing something like that."
"Uh-huh." Michelle and Ansha nodded enthusiastically, enjoying Catherine's heartfelt praise: "Uncle Pannis and you sisters must come and watch our performance then, no excuses."
"Of course, we'll all go." Catherine said, indulgently: "Don't worry, we'll definitely cheer you on."
