Story[]

Prologue
You: Oh, I's so nervous... 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.

Story 1 - Jekyll's Transformation
You: And that's pretty much how [BF name] and I met. 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.

Story 2 - Moonlit Night
The Count: You're not half bad at dancing, [BF name]. Did you take lessons? 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.)

Story 3 - Game Over
Henry: Sit over here. You should rest a little bit. 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!)

Endings
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.
