*MUFFLED BASS STRUMMING*

[00:12]
*DOOR OPENS, BASS BECOMES CLEAR*
You're here.

[00:21]
*DOOR CLOSES*
Yes, I'm done here.
Well, I'm not really tired.
It's just too loud.

[00:42]
Are you hungry?
Feel free to grab anything you like.
*FOOTSTEPS*

[01:00]
A ladder?
Why do you want a ladder?
*JINGLING SFX*

[01:16]
The cherry cake on the very top of the shelf?
*SIGH* That's for decoration.
Yes, but...

[01:33]
*HESITATES AND SIGHS* You can eat it if you want to.
Wait here.
I'll go get it.

[01:45]
*REACHING UP, CAT MEOWING*

[01:53]
*SPUTTERS, SOFT CRASH FOLLOWED BY A SIGH*
Yes, the cat's fine.
*MEOWING CONTINUES*
I'm fine as well...

[02:10]
It must have been a lost kitten.
Who thought the black cat projections...
Were its friends.
That's why it snuck in.
It ended up falling asleep.
I nearly stepped on it.

[02:32]
It hid two pieces of candy in the pumpkin basket.
They've not been touched.
*MEOWING CONTINUES IN THE BACKGROUND*
It must have been confused by the wrapping paper.

[02:52]
You're right.
Cats shouldn't eat sugar.
I'll keep it then. *MEOW*
Getting mad will do nothing.

[03:12]
Here, have one.
As for the cat...
When its owner comes to claim it...
I'll give it some canned tuna.
*CANDY WRAPPING CRINKLING*

[03:33]
Is the candy that tasty?
You look... Euphoric.

[03:45]
Very well. I'll have a taste.
*EATING CANDY*
Mm, it's not bad.

[00:00]
*FOOTSTEPS, SHUFFLING NOISES*

[00:26]
Are you still cold?
Not at all...? Really?

[00:35]
But you're all curled up.
It's obvious you're still cold.

[00:43]
*PIANO STARTS*
Stop being so stubborn.
What if you catch a cold?
Here...
Wrap yourself up tightly.
I'll go make a fire.

[01:05]
*MORE SHUFFLING*
Here... cover yourself with this blanket.
Don't move.
What is it?
You think I treat you like a little rabbit?

[01:22]
*SOFT LAUGH* Well then, stop resisting.
You won't get away.
Be good and stay put.

[01:40]
*STICKS CLATTERING, FIRE WHOOSHING AND CRACKLING*
*MUFFLED VOICE* It'll get warm soon.
Are you still cold?

[02:00]
*FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING*
Do you want another cup of hot tea? *TRAILS OFF, POURING SOUNDS*

[02:15]
*SNIFFLES* Achoo...
You didn't see that...

[02:30]
Why are you glaring at me...?
Even hunters can accidentally catch a cold sometimes...

[02:45]
*PATTING NOISE*
Why do you want me to come over?
What are you going to do to me?

[02:55]
*FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING, SITS DOWN*
Huh?
You want to share your blanket with me?
Well then, here I come...

[03:14]
*SHUFFLING NOISES, SOFT EXHALE*
It's so warm...
*MORE SHUFFLING*

[03:30]
*SOFT INHALE* Hey.
Is this a trap?
I'm warning you.
I don't taste good.

[00:00]
*STREET BUSTLING, WIND CHIMES*
The wind is a bit strong.

[00:12]
*SHUFFLING NOISES, WINDOW CLOSE*

[00:20]
*FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING, SHUFFLING NOISES*
There. Now you shouldn't be cold.
What are you looking at?

[00:38]
This bracelet?
You see the gem?
It's the ruby unique to this city.
It seems like a rare gem.

[00:52]
Be careful.
There's a flower pot next to you.

[01:02]
It feels a bit cramped watching the night view like this by the window.
You say, "The lights are bright outside,
And you want to go to take a look with me?"

[01:20]
*SOFT LAUGH* I want to be with you too.
*WIND CHIMES, SHUFFLING NOISES, LOUD THUMP*

[01:30]
*SOFT SIGH, HEARTBEAT* It's fine.
This windowsill is a bit cramped...

[01:52]
*LOW HUM* Where are you putting your hands...
*SOFT INHALE* Nevermind.
You can put them anywhere you like.

[02:08]
*SOFT INHALE AND HUM* You're pushing your luck.
Don't play the piano on me.
And don't play with my hair.

[02:30]
*SHAKY GASP*
If that's the case...
I'll take the initiative.
*KISS SFX*

[02:50]
*SHAKY INHALE* You're already blushing?
Are you concerned about being seen by people outside the window?
Don't worry.
The window is one-way.

[03:10]
*INHALE* So people can't look in.

[00:00]
*BUGS AND BIRDS CHIRPING, CAR PULLS UP*

[00:14]
Is there another version of me there?
Why do you ask that out of nowhere?
*SHUFFLING NOISES*

[00:36]
*SOFT SCOFF* I don't believe it.
It's fine as a story, as a little play we put on.
*CHUCKLE* To be honest, there's no way it can be true.

[00:53]
How am I so sure?
I... I just am.
Hypothetically...
Even if there exists another version of me, I'd kidnap him.
I'd send him back home to take care of that mess.

[01:20]
*FRIDGE OPENING AND CLOSING, GLASSES CLINKING TOGETHER*
As for me, I can now do whatever I want.

[01:35]
*OPENS SODA CAN*
What do I want to do?
You've answered it for me already.

[01:47]
*HUMS* Why are you staring at the piano?
Come back.
The answer's not going to be that cliche.
Besides, I would never touch an instrument when I'm eating.
It is a matter of principle.

[02:12]
There are a lot of things I want to do.
There are a lot that I don't want to do as well.

[02:22]
*BAG CRINKLING*
Hmm... And...
Here.

[02:40]
*CRUNCHING SFX*
To stop you from talking, of course.
That way, you'd stop with the annoying questions.

[02:52]
*SWALLOWING SFX, SOFT SIGH*
Back to your previous question...
If I could plant a seed...
If I could gain many copies fo myself...
One would be in charge of handling my family.
Another to work and earn money.
One more would be sent out to attend classes for me.

[03:22]
*CHEWING SFX*
Then... All the boring chores would be taken care of by someone else.
Hm? What's so funny?

[03:39]
It was your question.
This is my answer...
Yet you laugh at me.
You're terrible.

[03:54]
Wipe your mouth.
It's all over your face.
You missed a spot...

[04:10]
*SHUFFLING CLOSER*
*SOFT INHALE* Done.
If you're done eating...
We can talk about your last question.

[04:30]
Even if every copy has the same soul...
We will be different due to our different experiences.
Identical states only exist in games.
In reality...
You can't just copy and paste something.
Every leaf is different.
Humans are the same.

[05:00]
Hm? Games?
I've played quite a few.
Yes, I have.

[05:16]
*SOFT CHUCKLE* Sure, I have great reflexes, though.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
You can bring it along to our next meeting.

[05:33]
*SHUFFLING SFX* Wait!
Hm, every time you ask me a question like this...
You always end up painting something strange.

[05:58]
Never mind.
Sure. You can show me.
It's a date.

[00:00]
*RUSTLING NOISES*

[00:10]
Stop rushing me...
I'm done.

[00:17]
I look like this every day.
Doesn't it get old?
*GLASS CLATTERING*
Go ahead, take your look.

[00:31]
You're staring without blinking.
Hey, wake up. If you're done, then I'll go get changed.

[00:44]
*FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING*
What's with the long face?
*MORE FOOTSTEPS, SHIFTING SFX*
You think I'm lying?
What'd I lie to you about?

[01:13]
No.
The things you taught are quite strange.

[01:23]
*SOFT RUSTLING AND GROAN*
Why are you pulling me?
You don't want me to leave?

[01:36]
What are you going to do to me?
Princess? *SOFT CHUCKLE*
*SOFT INHALE* If this is what you're thinking about.
It won't be a problem for me.

[02:00]
But.
I don't want to.
*SHUFFLING SFX*
I'm gonna go change.

[02:15]
*FOOTSTEPS LEAVING*
Besides, it was just a few words.
Look at how red your face is.
What are we going to do?

[02:35]
*GLASSES CLATTERING, RUSTLING*
I have a question for you.
Do you not like the old me?

[02:52]
Never mind.
I asked a stupid question.

[03:03]
*RUSTLING CONTINUES, CURTAIN OPENED*
Take it.
Are you happy now?
Stop making these weird requests.

[03:20]
No?
If I wanted you to wear...
Never mind...

[03:35]
Why are you staring at me?
You were staring at me, right?
I saw it.

[03:49]
I'm not dismissed?
*FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING, CREAKING SFX*
Alright.
Right now, I'm the student and you're the teacher.
Demonstrate it for me again. *PIANO NOTE RINGS OUT*

[04:17]
The song from yesterday?
I forgot. *ANOTHER PIANO NOTE RINGS OUT*
There's nothing I can do.
I'm a terrible student.

[04:29]
*CHUCKLES* That's more like it.
Teachers need to be more patient.

[04:37]
*CREAKING NOISES*
Don't step over there.
*CREAKING CONTINUES*
The attic hasn't been looked after for years.
If you make a tiny misstep, you might fall from here to the first floor.

[04:55]
*MORE CREAKING*
Don't step over there either.
I think it caved in last time as well.
*CREAKING GETS LOUDER*
Do you want me to come save you?

[05:14]
*CREAKING, FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING*
Don't move.
See where I'm standing?
Come over here a moment.
Don't step in the wrong place.

[05:32]
Give me your hand. *SOFT THUMP*
*SHARP INHALE* You're safe.
The crisis has been averted.

[05:42]
*SOFT HUM, INHALES* Did you really believe what I said?
Princess?
*SOFT CHUCKLE*
That's all for today.
Class dismissed.

[00:00]
*FAINT MUSIC SLOWLY INCREASES IN VOLUME*
*BUTTONS BEING PRESSED, VIDEO GAME SFX*

[00:30]
Don't want to play anymore?
Are you tired?
*SOFT HUFF, VIDEO GAME SOUNDS CONTINUE*
Then rest a bit.
I'm done too.

[00:44]
*SHUFFLING NOISES*

[00:57]
If you're cold.
You can get closer to me.
*MORE SOFT SHUFFLING*
What is it?

[01:17]
You want me to tell you a story?
Only children like bedtime stories.
*SIGH*...
Alright then.
What story shall I read to you?

[01:40]
Alice in Wonderland?
Let me look it up.
*TYPING SFX*
I'll start then.
Listen closely.
*CLEARS THROAT*

[02:06]
Alice sat next to her sister for a very long time by the river.
*VOICE BEGINS TO FADE OUT*
There was nothing to do.
So she started to feel bored.
*MUSIC CUTS IN*

[02:32]
*VOICE FADES BACK IN*
There was a table
Set out under a tree in front of the house.
And the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea there.
A dormouse was sitting between them, fast asleep
*SHIFTING, SOFT CHUCKLE*

[02:53]
Even the dormouse has fallen asleep
And you're still awake.
Hmm, you know.
This story
Reminds me of the dream I had yesterday
*SOFT INHALE*
A very, very long dream.

[03:20]
But I'm not going to tell you what it is.
*SODA CAN OPENING*
Trying to bribe me with soda won't work.
Unless...
You promise not to laugh.

[03:43]
Alright.
In my dream,
I turned into a rabbit.

[03:58]
I can see your eyes smiling already.
You weren't any better either.
In my dream you were a...
Cute little witch.

[04:17]
*PIANO MUSIC BEGINS TO PLAY, SODA BEING POURED*
You rode on a strange-looking broom.
And had a weird-looking pet...
It was a tea party.
And there was lots of food *MORE SODA BEING POURED*
There were cupcakes and cookies in the shape of rabbits.
And a cookie that was broken.

[04:48]
*TICKING OF A CLOCK*
The pocketwatch continues to tick...
The rabbits are holding an umbrella, hiding from the sun.
Then,
We started playing poker *CARDS BEING SHUFFLED*
With regular poker cards.

[05:11]
I'm not sure why
But I could feel the suit on each card...

[05:22]
*SOFT LAUGH*
I didn't peak or anything
What are you so excited about?
Somehow I could feel it in my dream...
And then I won.
I had three questions for you.
*SHIFTING SOUNDS*

[05:45]
Don't want to talk about it?
Why not?
*SOFT THUMP, INDIGNANT EXCLAMATION*
Don't run away.
*MORE THUMPING NOISES*

[06:02]
You were in the dream too?
Strange...
But I'm really happy
*SHIFTING NOISES*
Both of us remembered the dream

[06:30]
You said you were happy as well
Because,
You touched my rabbit ears.
*SOFT LAUGH*
Now,
It's my turn.

[00:00]
*CREAKING SFX*

[00:07]
*FOOTSTEPS, DOOR CLOSING*
You're back.

[00:17]
...Why are your hands so cold?
They're almost as cold as mine.
Go warm yourself up by the fireplace

[00:32]
*SHUFFLING SFX*

[00:40]
I'll just sit here.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You know the reason too well.

[00:55]
*SHIFTS CLOSER*
You say you're warm already?
Fine.

[01:08]
*INHALE* Why is there a fireplace in a vampire's manor?
Because I have a Miss Witch at home who needs to stay warm and eat cooked food.

[01:27]
Me?
*SOFT SNORT* I've already had dinner.

[01:35]
*SHAKY INHALE AND EXHALE*
But if my dinner were you...
*KISS SFX*
I'd not start from your ears.
They're too tender.
I have better uses for them.

[02:05]
*SOFT MOAN, KISS SFX*
As for your neck... It's more convenient.

[02:23]
*ANOTHER SOFT MOAN, KISS SFX*

[02:31]
Isn't it curious?
Humans kiss on the neck to show affection, but when a vampire goes for the neck, *SOFT GASP, SHAKY EXHALE* they're usually preying on their food.

[03:08]
*GASP*
Don't get cocky.

[03:18]
*FOOTSTEPS, DRAGGING SFX*
From the wrist, you ask? *SCOFF*
That'll work, too.

[03:33]
*LOW MOAN, KISS SFX*
But it could leave blood stains... and it could be painful.
So let's keep it the way it is.

[03:58]
*SHIFTING*
Why are your hands still cold?
The fire's still burning.
Go and make yourself some warm milk.

[04:12]
*FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING*
What do you mean?
You're expecting to become my dinner?
How can you... expect something like that?

[04:34]
*SOFT LAUGH* Someday you will be.
But not today.

[04:45]
*FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING*
Because blood is only the tastiest when you drink it warm.
Now, off you go.

[05:10]
*FOOTSTEPS LEAVING, DOOR CREAKING, FAST FOOTSTEPS FOLLOWING*
Why are you following me?

[05:24]
You want to... come inside?
What are you thinking?
Of course I sleep on a bed too!
My bed is nothing special, just like the one in your room.

[05:49]
*SOFT GASP, SHAKY INHALE* Uh, stop...
Cut it out. *VOICE SHAKING*
Or I fear I'd do something I'd regret.

[06:05]
*ANOTHER SHAKY BREATH* There. Happy now?
*SOFT LAUGH* Are you really not afraid?
Fine. You can stay here.

[06:23]
The thing you're expecting is not going to happen.
But I won't guarantee anything else.

[06:40]
*FOOTSTEPS LEAVING, DOOR SHUT*

[00:00]
*FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING, BUMPS INTO ONE ANOTHER*

[00:10]
Hey... *GASPS, CATCHING SFX*
You dummy...
Does it hurt?

[00:25]
Let me take a look.
*SOFT SIGH* It looks a little sore.
You should be fine.

[00:37]
*HESITATES* You want me to blow on it?
How old are you now?
Are you still a child?
Oh, what am I going to do with you.

[00:50]
*SOFTLY BLOWING*
What are you laughing at?
I knew you did it on purpose.

[01:08]
*SOFT SIGH* What did you do on purpose?
Put on a show.
Just so I'll comfort you.
And you make fun of me for it.

[01:25]
*SOFT LAUGH*
I always fall for it.
I'm going to punish you.
Don't move *FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING*

[01:39]
*KISS SFX*
Now we're even.
But next time.
I won't let you off the hook so easily.

[02:00]
By the way.
Why are you sneaking around here?
I've been looking for you.
Why did the host run away from her own New Year's banquet?
Everyone's happy about having a new holiday.

[02:18]
You're tired...?
Then rest here.
It's quiet in here.
No one will disturb you.
*FOOTSTEPS*

[02:46]
There's a clean and soft couch here.
Come here.
Have some rest. It's alright if you fall asleep.
I'll let you know when the banquet has almost ended.

[03:05]
What am I doing?
I'm giving you my jacket.
What did you have in mind?

[03:19]
Cover yourself with it.
Your skirt was too thin today, you'll catch a cold.
However, your skirt is a great match for the color of these roses.

[03:36]
*SOFT INHALE AND EXHALE*
The roses are keeping you company.
I'm also accompanying you.
I'm not going anywhere.

[03:56]
You mean the statue?
They are gods from the ancient myths of Godheim.
They represent music, literature and love.

[04:11]
*SOFT INHALE* Cute?
Not as cute as you.
A long time from now, maybe this land...
Will also carry legends about you.

[04:32]
Because you saved a lot of people, this is the credit that you deserve.
Will I be with you?
Of course.

[04:46]
If the girl from the Otherworld is written as a true goddess then I shall be the knight that serves you.
If they don't exaggerate it too much and write you as a mortal, then I shall be recorded as your lifelong... partner.

[05:13]
We will become history, epics, and lullabies that are spread across the land...
Or be forgotten together.

[05:30]
No matter what happens or for how long, we will always be together.
You're sleepy now?

[05:48]
*SOFT SIGH* Then get some rest.
*KISS SFX*
