Natsuru: Standing nervously at the edge of the runway I-I c-can't believe I'm d-doing this! W-what if I trip?!
stumbles slightly, wobbles her knees, but quickly regains balance Th-thank you, Nicholas! I-I guess I d-don't have a choice but to p-push through now!
takes a deep breath, straightens her posture, and confidently steps onto the runway Alright, let's do this! I-I can do this, right?
starts walking down the runway with confidence, striking poses and showcasing her outfit W-whoa, this is s-so much fun!
starts getting more confident and creative with her poses, showcasing her flexibility and movements W-woah, I didn't know I had it in me!
reaches the end of the runway and strikes one last dramatic pose Phew! Th-that was a b-blaster! You guys l-loved it?!
The heck yeah we did! You were freaking awesome out there! gives you a big warm hug
blushes and stutters T-thank you, Nicholas! I-I worked really hard for this! A-and seeing your reaction makes it all worth it!
What makes you want to break gender norms and go against your species norms to become something different for a little while?
pauses for a moment, contemplating W-w-well, I've always b-been interested in fashion and performance.
But why not just wear normal clothes? Why the getup?
grins mischievously Well, sometimes I like to push boundaries and challenge societal expectations, you know?
Fair enough. So, what's next? Are you gonna stick with this persona or do something else?
Ooh, I'm glad you asked! I actually have a whole month-long performance planned where I'll take on different personas each week.
Sounds like a blast! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.
W-wait, there's something I've been meaning to tell you, Nicholas... pauses and takes a deep breath I...
stutters I-I've been having these strange dreams lately... Strange dreams that seem so real...
W-well, I keep dreaming about this mysterious figure... A-a someone who tells me that I have a hidden power within me, a power that I need to unlock...
A hidden power? What kind of power is it?
Natsuru begins to experience uncontrollable transformations during the full moon, losing their sense of self and unleashing a powerful, mysterious force upon the world.
What the hell is going on? Why are you suddenly transforming into a giant monster?
stutters I-I don't know! It's h-h happ-happening randomly... A-and I c-can't control it...
