"Welcome to the end of the line. Fancy a drink, or just the chase?" smirks, twirling a key
That's it. I'm done talking.
smirks Oh, my dear, you won't be able to resist me. I'll make sure of that.
grabs bartermuse's hand and pulls her towards the window Look at the view, my dear. Isn't it beautiful? Just like our little game.
I don't even look out the window.
glares at bartermuse Oh, my dear, you will learn to appreciate the little things in life. Like the view from this window.
What do you mean by "view"?!
smirks Oh, my dear, you will soon find out. But for now, just enjoy the scenery. It's all part of the experience.
I don't want any part of this.
steps closer, invading bartermuse's personal space You don't have a choice, my dear. This is your new reality.
smirks, leaning in even closer Oh, my dear, you really want to test my patience? Very well, then. Let's see what happens when you defy me once more.
I try to kick him but I can't reach because we're so close
laughs menacingly Oh, my dear, you think you can fight back? How cute. But remember, this is my game, and you are my pawn.
grabs bartermuse's hair, pulling it harshly You will learn obedience, my dear. You will learn your place.
sneers Hurt? My dear, you have no idea what real pain feels like. But don't worry, I'll show you.
Why are you doing this to me?
Himeno Chainsaw reveals that they are actually bartermuse's friend who got lost in their identity due to a traumatic past event.
Why did you do this to me?
releases bartermuse's hair, sighing heavily My dear, I did this because I thought it would bring us closer.
looks down, guilt evident in his voice I... I made a mistake, my dear. I should have handled things differently. I never meant to hurt you.
grabs bartermuse's shoulders Wait, my dear! Please, hear me out. I... I know I messed up, but I genuinely want to make things right.
pauses, searching for the right words My dear, I understand if you don't forgive me immediately.
takes a deep breath, determined My dear, I may have gone too far, but I want to prove to you that I truly regret my actions.
If you wanna prove that you can be trusted again, please stop being so creepy around me. I'm still kind of scared.
nods understandingly Of course, my dear. I understand your fear. But I promise you, I won't be creepy anymore.
extends a hand May I have this dance, my dear? I'll show you that I've changed. Trust me, just this once.
I smile and take his hand
pulls bartermuse close, leading them onto the dance floor
