## **Story**

* Young Boy [Jekyll]: Haha! You don't need to be nervous! Just breathe!
* You: But... I've never been to a masquerade before...
* Young Boy [Jekyll]: Will you be okay? Hmmm. [BF name] is so much more relaxed than you.
* Young Man [Henry]: No need to worry. We will escort you. Everything will be fine.
* You: S-sure... Thank you both.
* Young Boy [Jekyll]: No need to thank us! Right, Henry?
* Young Man [Henry]: Mr. Kagura himself entrusted you to us. Of course, there is no need for thanks.
* You: (Speaking of which... Where is Kagura...?)
* You: (He told me to go ahead of him... and he hasn't shown up yet.)
* Young Boy [Jekyll]: Oh, it's almost time for the party!
* Young Man [Henry]: Shall we?
* You go to a ball, but what lies behind the scenes? Welcome to the masquerade of corruption and deceit.

* Henry: Heh... he came out of an app... How fascinating.
* You: R-really...?
* Henry: Hm? Did I say something strange?
* You: Oh, no, not at all!
* You: (Since they're both Astral Boyfriends, I would've thought they came here the same way...)
* You: (Was it not the same...?)
* You: Wah...!
* Madame: Ah, I'm sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going.
* You: Oh, no. It's fine.
* Henry: ...Jekyll.
* Jekyll: I'm on it.
* Jekyll: Madame, would you like a glass of champagne. We have assembled only the finest.
* Madame: Is that so? Perhaps I'll have some.
* Henry: ...Could you come here for a second, [your name].
* You: Ah, sorry. I didn't mean to bother the two of them...
* Henry: Ah, you don't have to worry about that. More important, could you turn around for me?
* You: Hm? Yeah, sure...
* Henry: ...Yeah, your collar is a little dirty as I thought.
* You: Eh? Are you serious?
* Henry: It must've happened when you bumped into that lady.
* You: I don't know what I'm gonna do... I borrowed this dress and everything...
* The Count: Hm? What's the matter? Such a face is unfitting for someone who looks as beautiful as you do.
* You: And you are...?
* Henry: The Count...
* The Count: How are you, Henry? Are you enjoying the ball?
* You: Th-the Count...? Does that mean you're someone important?
* Henry: Didn't anyone tell you that he's the host for this ball?
* You: (I didn't hear that at all... Kagura is always leaving out details...!)
* The Count: I'm not nearly as important as a host. I'm simply here to make sure everything goes according to plan.
* The Count: But I suppose there are perks to being a middleman if I was able to meet you.
* You: (It's a little embarrassing when he's looking into my eyes...!)
* The Count: ...To celebrate this fateful encounter, I would like to give you something.
* You: Eh? Just talking to you is more than enough!
* The Count: This outfit just came back from the tailor... I'll give it to you! I think it'll look perfect on you.
* You: Oof... wh-what should I do Henry...?
* Henry: It would be rude to turn down such kindness. I think you should accept it.
* You: Hmm... Okay, if you insist...
* The Count: Huhu, I thought that's what you were going to say. I'll have it prepared right away.
* The Count: Jekyll, to the outfit.
* Jekyll: Understood.
* Jekyll: ...This way, please.
* You: I didn't mean to make The Count worry about me. I'm sure he noticed the stain on my collar...
* Jekyll: There's nothing to worry about. That's just how the Count is. There was no malice behind his words, right?
* You: Yeah, that's true.
* Jekyll: Wait herefor a second. I'll bring your outfit right away.
* You: Thank you
* You: (Jekyll is rather smart. I wonder if that's all thank to The Count's way of doing things.)
* You: (Everyone is such a gentleman. Henry even fixed my collar so the stain didn't show as much.)
* You: (Everyone is way too nice...)
* You: Hm...? That was pretty fast Jekyll.
* Jekyll?: ...
* You: Jekyll...?
* You: ...!
* Jekyll?: ...Here's your outfit.
* You: (H-he's so close...!)
* Jekyll?: ...Hurry up and get dressed already. I don't like to be kept waiting.
* You: What...? Not really sure what you want me to do...
* Jekyll?: If you can't do it yourself, I'll just have to do it for you.
* You: ...! H-hey... stop that!
* You: (What in the world happened to Jekyll...? It's like he's a different person...)
* You: (Help me, [BF name]...!)
* Jekyll?: This is just a warning.
* You: Hm...?
* Jekyll?: I wanted to show you what could happen if you let your guard down.
* You: Wh-what are you talking about...?
* Jekyll?: Without knowledge, you're defenseless. Won't even be much of a hunt at this rate.
* You: (What in the world is he saying?)
* Jekyll?: You still haven't figured it out yet? This masquerade isn't a social event, it's a hunting ground.
* Jekyll?: And the one being hunted... is you.

* You: No, it's nothing like that...
* The Count: I guess you have a knack for these kinds of things. Very impressive indeed.
* You: (Talking to The Count has been keeping me distracted...)
* You: (It's a little hard seeing [BF name] dance with other people...)
* The Count: Ah, that reminds me. The moon looks very beautiful tonight. Have you seen it already?
* You: Hmm? N-not yet...
* The Count: Shall we go take a look at it then?
* You: Wah, look at that view. It's a full moon...
* The Count: Right? I love the fact you can view the townscape and night sky from this balcony.
* You: It really is beautiful! I wish I could see this view whenever I wanted to...
* The Count: You can.
* The Count: If you wish, I can give you this view as a present...
* You: ...!
* The Count: That is if you choose to become my moon...
* You: (He's trying to kiss me...?)
* ???: That was a pretty lame line. I see you're still stuck in the past.
* You: Jekyll...!
* The Count: You're... Jekyll? And what did you mean back there?
* Jekyll?: I don't remember stuttering. There's no fun being with you, old timer.
* You: How rude, Jekyll!
* Jekyll?: Don't tell me that kind of person is you type. And you looked so happy when I was teasing you.
* You: N-no, I wasn't!
* The Count: How disgraceful...! You're only the help. How dare you lay a finger on a guest.
* Jekyll?: Today is a hunt. Whoever catches the prey wins.
* The Count: What are you planning! This is a breach of contra---
* ???: Wah! Stop it!
* Jekyll: How dare you skip out on your duties~! To add insult to injury, you defied The Count?
* Jekyll?: ...Hmph.
* You: Hm? There are two of you, Jekyll...?
* The Count: Does that mean that person over there is...
* Jekyll: Umm... this is my brother's part-time job. And I'm Jekyll.
* You: (They're twins...?)
* The Count: I-I see... You two are almost impossible to tell apart... Sorry for not noticing sooner.
* Jekyll: No, it's alright! It's my fault. I didn't discipline him enough...
* Jekyll?: Tch... I don't remember being disciplined by you.
* Jekyll: Stop messing around, Hyde! Pretending to be me and causing trouble!
* You: (So the person in the waiting room wasn't Jekyll, but his brother Hyde.)
* Hyde: ...
* You: (He's really trying to burn a hole in my clothes staring at me like that...)
* You: ...!
* Hyde: That was a close call. I was almost hunted by The Count.
* You: Hm? What do you mean?
* Hyde: I told you, right? Tonight's prey is... you.
* Hyde: Whoever gets you, wins. It's that type of game.
* You: Gets me...? You're not talking about my life, are you...?
* Hyde: No. I can't believe you're that dense. It could only mean one thing.
* Hyde: Or perhaps you would like me to show you what I mean?
* You: Th-that's all right!
* Hyde: Hmph... fine. Anyway, be sure to watch you back. The Count isn't the only one after you.
* You: Why is everyone coming after me...? Did I do something to someone?
* Hyde: That's cause... you're a god...
* Jekyll: Oi, what do you think you're doing Hyde? And leave that person alone!
* Hyde: ...Tch. So annoying.
* Jekyll: What were you whispering about? Well, I guess it's all right.
* Hyde: ...
* The Count: ...Shall we go back inside? You might catch something being out in the cold.
* The Count: You probably shouldn't get too close to Hyde... I can't imagine anything good would come of it.
* You: O-okay...
* You: (What should I do. Things have taken a turn for the worse.)
* You: (I'm so lost... Ryu and everyone else aren't here. I only have [BF name] to rely on.)
* You: (I don't have time to overthink this. I have to do something before something happens.)

* You: Thank you.
* You: (...Wah! Why did he follow me?)
* You: (I don't want to doubt his intentions but could Henry be after me too...?)
* Henry: ...What's wrong?
* You: O-oh, it's nothing at all.
* Henry: ...
* Henry: That reminds me, I haven't seen [BF name] in some time.
* You: He's been fixated on the show. After I finish taking a break, I'll go get him...
* Henry: ...How come he isn't with you?
* You: Hmm?
* Henry: ...Oh, I was just wondering what he's doing right now.
* You: Yeah, I said that he's really into the show...
* You: (Hm...?)
* You: It does feel weird watching [BF name] dance with other people...
* You: (What is [BF name] doing leaving me alone by myself...)
* You: Where is [BF name]...?
* Henry: He's probably still on the dance floor.
* You: Is he there again... dancing with someone...?
* Henry: Yeah, maybe.
* You: I can't... believe it...
* Henry: I believe in him. I really do, but...
* Henry: Masquerades have a way of changing a person because you can become someone else.
* Henry: It's hard to say that he wouldn't succumb to temptation. The same goes for you, too.
* You: (What's up with me. My head is spinning...)
* You: (I smell something sweet coming from Henry. Is that the reason why?)
* Henry: You don't look so good. You should lie down in the room.
* Henry: ...Follow me. I'll take you there.
* You: (My body... is being controlled by Henry's words...)
* You: (But...)
* Henry: C-mon. Take my hand.
* You: (If Henry stays with me, then maybe I don't need [BF name]...)
* [flashback or in your mind?] Hyde: Is [BF name] someone that you can trust?
* [flashback or in your mind?] Hyde: If so... don't doubt him no matter what happens.
* You: [BF name]...
* You: I have to find [BF name]...
* Henry: ...
* You: [BF name]...?
* You: Hm...? What was I doing...?
* You: Sorry, [BF name]. I was a little out of it, but I'm all right now.
* Henry: ...
* Henry: ...Whew.
* Henry: Huhu... Huhuhu... Ahahahaha!
* You: Henry...?
* Henry: I couldn't help but laugh at [BF name]'s impeccable timing!
* Henry: It's nothing short of a miracle. That must be the bond between a Boyfriend and his partner.
* You: Henry, don't tell me...!
* Henry: It's game over. I've used up all of my tricks.
* You: Why did you do this?
* Henry: ...I wanna tell you, but it'd be a hassle to tell you the entire story.
* Henry: Let's just say you piqued my interest.
* You: Wait up! Where do you think you're going? We haven't finished talkin---
* Henry: ...Oh, yeah, please do tell Kagura that...
* Henry: Henry Cross came to see you.
* You: Henry... Cross?
* Henry: Huhu, you might be seeing me again if that's how the wind blows.
* Henry: Here's to hoping you'll have something fun prepared.
* You: (He disappeared...)
* You: (Who was that...?)
* Jekyll: I see Henry decided to leave. I can't believe he confessed.
* Jekyll: C'mon, it's time for us to leave, too. Hurry up and get up Hyde.
* Hyde: Ugh...!
* Jekyll: Where's your backbone?
* Jekyll: I took care of "that" while you were busy sleeping, y'know?
* Jekyll: Erasing that many memories was pretty difficult! Hope you were taking notes!
* Hyde: Shut it... Darn it...! He really beat me up...!
* Jekyll: ...It wouldn't be much of a punishment if I didn't do it seriously, right?
* Jekyll: I mean, it's not like I wanted to do it. But if I didn't do it, Henry would've done it.
* Jekyll: Saying that he doesn't need someone who shows empathy like humans.
* Hyde: ...
* Jekyll: Understand that I need you.
* Jekyll: I know I can become a god if you're with me! So let's do this together!
* Hyde: ([your name]... [BF name]...)
* Hyde: (If it was up to me, I'd never see you two again...)
* Hyde: (If we ever happen to cross paths...)
* Hyde: (Don't get involved with that twisted god... Henry!)

**Standard - Just Like Always**

* BF: [your name]... [your name], are you all right?
* You: Hmm, yeah... it feels like I was having a dream.
* BF: Yeah, I felt weird as well. Are you all right, though?
* You: Yeah, I'm perfectly fine. My first masquerade was pretty fun.
* BF: You're pretty positive, [your name]. There would be plenty of people who would feel angry.
* You: As long as it was fun, I think it's fine. How about you, [BF name]?
* BF: As long as you had fun, that's all that matters, [your name].
* You: I'm glad to hear that.
* BF: More than anything, I was really glad to be able to see you in your outfit, [your name].
* You: It's been a while since I properly dressed up.
* BF: You're more than welcome to normally dress like that.
* You: No way! That's too embarrassing...
* BF: I do like it when you get all embarrassed, [your name].
* You: Ugh... my face is gonna get redder and redder if you keep that up.
* BF: I'm just happy with you being you, [your name].
* You: If something like this ever happens again, I know I'll be all right with you around, [BF name].
* BF: You'll actually lean on me?
* You: Of course! You're very important to me, [BF name].
* BF: I, too, think you're very important, [your name], now and forever.
* You: Thanks. I hope you're always by my side.

**Friendly - I Got This**

* BF: Were we dreaming or something?
* You: Even though that's how it felt like, it was real...
* BF: Why are you spacing out?!
* You: I'm not spacing out, and plus, weren't you dancing with someone else?
* BF: I was pretty much forced to... I'm sorry.
* You: It was still shocking for me to see!
* BF: Why was it shocking to see?
* You: Just try thinking about it for a second cause I don't plan on telling you.
* BF: Hmm? Were you sad cause you thought that someone stole me from you?
* You: Sh-shut it! ...But I'm really glad you came to my rescue. Thanks.
* BF:I was really panicking there. I was worried that you were going to get taken away, [your name].
* You: I guess we felt the same way then.
* BF: Yeah, you're right. Besides that though, there's something on my mind.
* You: That thing Henry said?
* BF: Yeah, he said that he'd eventually come back to see you, right?
* You: Yeah... what does he plan on doing seeing me again?
* BF: I don't know what he has up his sleeve, but I'll protect you if anything happens, [your name].
* You: You better not be with someone else in my time of need, okay?
* BF: I know! It won't happen again!
* You: Okay, I'm taking your word for it.

**Tsundere - Never Saying It Again**

**Mysterious - Young Prince**

* BF: I guess that means everything we experience was a dream.
* You: Given everything we went through, I'd say so.
* BF: The illusions and dancing were fun, but... To think that everything was make-believe.
* BF: Yeah, I can't believe it, either
* BF: ...
* BF: Why did you get so quiet?
* You: I was thinking how worried I was when I was alone at the party cause you weren't there, [BF name].
* You: Henry said that you were dancing with someone else. Is that true, [BF name]?
* BF: Huh? It's not. I was looking for a cake I thought you'd like, Honey.
* BF: I saw you talking with him and didn't know what to do so I came back, [your name].
* You: Really...? I'm glad to hear that you came for me, [BF name].
* BF: Huhu, like a prince?
* You: ...I'd say more like a young prince.
* BF: A young prince... I like the ring to that. Even more the reason why I can't leave your side, [your name].
* You: You don't have to be with me, y'know?
* BF: You make it sound... as if I'm forced to.
* BF: It's only cause I want to be by your side.
* You: ...Thanks, [BF name]/ It makes me happy to hear you say that.
* BF: I'm your young prince, after all, [your name].
* You: Thank you. I'll be relying on you.
* BF: Huhu, you can leave everything to me.

**Tough - Jealousy**

* BF: ...Are you all right?
* You: Hm? What are you talking about?
* BF: Thought you were a little disoriented from the shock of everything that happened.
* You: I'm a little shocked by everything... but it's just hitting me that everything really happened.
* BF: Knew we shouldn't have been apart. You almost got taken away there, [your name].
* You: But you came to rescue me. I'm more interested in you dancing with someone else.
* BF: Who was I dancing with?
* You: Henry said that you were dancing with someone else!
* BF: No, why would I dance with someone else when I clearly had two left feet when dancing with you, [your name].
* BF: We just got separated from each other. When I turned around, you were nowhere to be found, [your name].
* You: Ah, so that's what happened.
* BF: Does it upset you that much to hear me dancing with someone else?
* You: ...I can't say that it makes me happy.
* BF: Same goes for me. I didn't really like seeing you with Henry, [your name].
* You: Does that mean you were jealous?
* BF: If that's what you wanna call it.
* You: Well, I was jealous.
* [in Japanese] BF: ...
* You: Don't just stay silent. Say something!
* BF: Don't worry. Don't plan on leaving your side.

**Cute - Probably Okay**

**Relaxed - Need To Get Stronger**

* BF: Wah~.
* You: Wh-what happened? Why are you talking so loud?
* BF: I was... a little scared of you almost being taken away.
* BF: To make matters worse, I get the feeling that party was real...
* You: Yeah, it all felt weird.
* BF: You didn't seem like yourself, [your name]. Did something happen?
* You: Yeah... someone said something creepy to me when I was getting changed.
* BF: Why didn't you tell me? Is it because you don't think I can handle it...?
* You: N-no, that's not it! It was a party, after all. Plus, you looked liked you were having fun.
* BF: But you weren't having fun, right, [your name]...?
* You: That's not true. I had plenty of fun cause you were with me, [BF name].
* BF: I guess that's fine... I need to get stronger...
* You: Huh? Why?
* BF: If I was to get stronger, I would be able to protect you from being taken away.
* You: I'm happy cause you saved me and all... but I'm really okay.
* You: You being close to me is more than enough.
* BF: But I'm going to do it! I want to make sure I'm fast enough to help if anything happens to you.
* BF: I think I'm going to start off with jogging.
* You: Huhu, I'll join you, too.
* BF: We can do it, [your name]...!

**Vain - Will Protect You**

* You: Um, are you mad about something, [BF name]?
* BF: I am. What was up with that party?
* You: To sum it up, Henry wanted to see what kind of person I was.
* BF: ... Yeah, I figured as much. That guy sure likes to beat around the bush.
* BF: If he was that curious, he should've just asked you straight up.
* BF: But instead chose to fool around with me...
* You: If he asked you to see me, would you have let him?
* BF: Of course not. Who knows what he would do to you.
* You: And then the same thing would happen all over again...
* BF: It's your fault for not properly paying attention to the details, [your name].
* BF: Don't show even a chink in your armor. What would you have done if I hadn't saved you?
* You: I don't wanna hear it. You disappeared and were dancing with someone else, right?
* BF: What are you talking about? I just went to get something to drink.
* BF: You're the one who got lost, right? You're always causing me trouble.
* You: It's my fault? You didn't just leave me behind, [BF name]?
* BF: Yeah, it's most definitely your fault.
* You: And here I thought you were the one to blame!
* BF: Anyway, just don't go leaving my side, [your name].
* You: Yeah, that's what I'll try to do... I'm scared to be alone.
* BF: You don't have to worry about a thing. As long as you're by my side... you'll be fine.
