＠Van Gogh's Paintbrush?
That's Theodorus van Gogh, known to his friends and family as “Theo.” ...He's Vincent van Gogh's younger brother.
[k]
＠Van Gogh's Paintbrush?
The Servant Van Gogh mentioned him before, right? Well, here in this minute Singularity, he's still just eight years old.
[k]
＠Van Gogh's Paintbrush?
Vincent would've been twelve at this time. This must be when he was being forced to attend a boring boarding school in some far-off town.
[k]
＠Van Gogh's Paintbrush?
While he did, Vincent and Theo lived far apart from each other, so they weren't particularly close...
[k]
＠Van Gogh's Paintbrush?
In time, though, they formed a powerful brotherly bond: one an artist, the other an art dealer.
[k]
＠Van Gogh's Paintbrush?
Without Theo, Van Gogh would never have succeeded. Which is why she always murmurs his name whenever she's facing tough times.
[k]
？1：Hm? But, I'm pretty sure Van Gogh was never successful.
？2：But, wasn't Van Gogh destitute his whole life?
？！
＠Van Gogh's Paintbrush?
Hm? ...Ah, I see. So she's talked to you about that. Well, that's okay. In fact, it could even work out better...
[k]
＠Van Gogh's Paintbrush?
Anyway, you can certainly see it that way. Destitute, constitute, prostitute... It's all the same in the end, right?
[k]
？1：Huh?
？2：(Just grin and bear it, [%1]. Grin and bear it...)
？！
＠Van Gogh's Paintbrush?
Anyway, never mind that. Just look at how she's smiling as she watches over the memory of her younger brother.
Even though this is just a simulation, she's choosing to watch over her beloved brother from a respectful distance.

So now that you've seen what she's up to, can you really blame her? If you ask me, I'd say she deserves more than a little leniency.
