What's next?

Long Dress → Oversized Sweater

I think... Penelope usually prefers to dress down, right? So maybe if I put her in something she prefers, it will make... whatever feeling this is... disappear? It's worth a shot. I exchange the 'long dress' I remember her wearing on game-nights for the 'oversized sweater' I know she prefers wearing over anything else and...

...well, she still looks a little nervous but somehow I think her smile looks more natural? Her face just seems... closer to what I was expecting somehow. And she's definitely more confident, given the sweater is the only thing she's wearing but she's willing to wear it out anyway.

Alright, I think I'm on the right track. That strangeness is fading, so... what next?
