Dialogue Transcript Veil — Vol. 2 - Chapter 15 43
The wagon slips without a care for the freezing cold. A person seems fixated on a newspaper. A woman seems preoccupied, yet, with a sleepy expression. She's fiddling with the buttons on a heavy coat. He looks at her red lips, as if moving along a wall of white cotton.

She locked the sound in
[Aleksander]: Hey!
[Aleksander]: What are you taking a picture of?
[Emma]: For the sound!
[Aleksander]: That's a strange reason...
[Emma]: Uhfufu...
[Emma]: I often hear noises that I don't expect.
[Emma]: For example, there...
[Emma]: Over there...
[Emma]: And over that way, too.
[Emma]: Or here...
[Emma]: When a noise piques my interest, I take a photograph of it.
[Aleksander]: Really?
[Emma]: I doubt just anyone could think to do something like that.
[Emma]: Fufu...
[Emma]: Well, it just so happens I'm not just anyone.
[Emma]: Ah...
[Aleksander]: Still, it's a little peculiar...
[Emma]: Something is happening here, when shoes and the ground touch...
[Emma]: ...It makes such a curious noise.
[Aleksander]: Oi!
[Aleksander]: Be careful...
[Aleksander]: Don't go too far!
[Emma]: Your boots make a very strong and imposing sound.
[Aleksander]: ...They also recommend you don't stray too far. It's danger- ous!
[Aleksander]: My boots are honoured to be admired, however...
[Emma]: I simply can't help it around here, you see...
[Emma]: ...This is where a particularly exciting sound hangs its hat.
[Emma]: Hm-hm~
[Aleksander]: Got to admit, I do think of myself as having a better voice than people on the radio or television.
[Emma]: But you're a little too chatty for that kind of thing, aren't you?
[Aleksander]: Hey, you're one to talk!
[Emma]: You want to take pictures of sound, too?
[Aleksander]: Hand me your camera.
[Aleksander]: You could say that, yes.
[Aleksander]: We'll see about that once we get the picture.
[Emma]: Wow!
[Emma]: What a delicious smell!

Chapter Summary
In Veil Vol. 2 - Chapter 15, Emma shows Aleksander her hobby of taking pictures of sounds that interest her. As they walk together in the cold, she points out noises around them from shoes touching the ground to distant spots, and he teases her for the peculiar habit while warning her to stay close. Their sweet banter turns playful as Aleksander asks to try it himself and takes her camera, ending with the smell of fresh bread.
