              A girl's concerns
              Thank you for accepting my request. My problem is that a man wants to marry me even though I'm not interested in him at all. I've made my intentions very clear, yet he continues to insist that he's going to marry me... You can see for yourself if you go and talk to him. Why don't you go do that first? It's the young man in the town square.

              A youth's concerns
              What do I think of that girl? Why, she's the girl I'm going to marry! I'm the only one who can keep her safe for the rest of her life! And yet, she'll barely even look at me, let alone talk to me... Sigh... What can I do to get her to like me...

              A girl's plan
              Did you talk to him? He refuses to acknowledge the reality that I just don't like him. So, in order to get him to understand my feelings, I decided to give him a crown I made out of a laurel branch. Why a crown? You want to know...?

              The pursuing man and pursued woman
              There's a Greek myth that tells of a man who fell in love with a woman. No matter how much he professed his affections, the woman couldn't bring herself to return his feelings, and tried to run away from the man, but he always ended up finding her. Eventually, the woman used magic to turn herself into a laurel tree.

              Laurel leaves and a broken man
              Upon becoming a laurel tree, the woman said "I cannot love you back, but please take this in my place", and she dropped a branch covered with laurel leaves for him.
              Distraught over losing his love, the man took the branch and created a crown with it, which he continued to wear till the end of his days.

              The walls have ears
              So since the guy that's bothering me knows a lot about mythology, I'm sure this will be enough to get him to understand my feelings.
              I'm sure they have laurel crowns in the Napoli Church. Why don't you go and ask the priest there to give you one? Then you can go and give it to... Hm? That's strange. It felt like someone was right behind me just now...

              A broken man
              It looks like you found me. I just happened to be passing by, and I overheard a sad fact. It seems that everything was my own misunderstanding.
              From now on, I'm going to forget all about women and throw myself into my job. Women! Who needs `em!... *sniff*

              The crown is on the altarpiece
              Oh ho, you want a laurel crown? Very well, you may have one. Go ahead and take one from the top of the altar.

              Crown of laurel
              It was a sad ending for the young man, but it appears that the laurel crown has a sad mythological history behind it. The Church of Napoli supposedly has laurel crowns. The priest there promised me I could have one from the top of the altar. I should go check it out.

                  A crown made of plaited laurel branches with leaves. According to Greek mythology, Daphne, who refused Apollo's advances, turned into a laurel tree. The disappointed Apollo made a crown from the branches and wore it all his life.
