Another : Sigrid’s former crush Batty Sorensen. A sketch is missing because it won’t fit within Instagram’s square format (refer to the highlight “SIGRID’S DIARY” to see it). - Sigrid was in love with the local arcade owner’s oldest son Sebastian (nicknamed “Batty”). Batty was 6 years older than her - athletic, stoic, tall, dark-haired, and the beau of the neighborhood (Sigrid wasn’t initially attracted to Richard because he was almost the opposite - Richard was also tall and athletic but fair, blond, wore glasses, outgoing, and much older). She watched him from a distance behind a wall, often blushing and stammering whenever she tried talking with him; Batty would just shove her aside and called her “an annoying waste of space and time” (he was aware of her life curse and felt he should ignore her to avoid becoming attached). Batty enrolled into the police academy after graduating high school, leaving Sigrid in limbo about his whereabouts. Months prior to Richard’s appearance Batty had Sigrid make a bouquet of flowers for him (which she poured her all her love into it); Sigrid’s heart shattered when she heard that he had proposed to an older schoolmate, leaving her bitter and believing she no longer had a chance living out her childhood dream of getting married before her curse takes effect. When Richard started visiting Sigrid and researching at the local university more often, Batty often confronted him to maintain his status as the “hero of the neighborhood”. Batty also didn’t like the fact a foreigner was dating the girl once obsessed with him, forcing him to reexamine his true feelings. After Sigrid’s death, Batty regretted how he treated her when she was alive and wondered how life would’ve been different if he had married her instead (he still hated Richard, carrying over those feelings over to Johannes Faustuz only because he looks like his father). —
