♱  DIABOLIK LOVERS: Haunted Dark Bridal ー Sakamaki Shuu | Selection  ♱

Shuu: Huh? You’re choosing me? Geez…

Yui: ( Something about this guy… Even though he seems out of it, it’s because of that very reason that I feel like I made the right choice. )

Reiji: I suppose I oughtn't be surprised that you made such an uneducated decision when it was forced upon you like this. Although, him?

Good grief…

Ryuuto: Good grief, indeed.

Shuu: Run your mouth as much as you want, just keep it down…

But I guess when a free meal comes wandering into the lion’s den like this, the rest of the pack’s bound to get a little restless, huh?

Ayato: Che. I can’t believe you picked that sack of shit!

Laito: I don’t get it either. Especially since he’s not all he makes himself out to be; It’s the quiet guys that tend to be the wildest, they say.

Shuu: I said keep it down… I can’t be bothered saying it again.

Yui: ( No way… He actually seems a lot tamer than I first realised! )

( Did I really just luck out with my choice? )

Shuu: I couldn’t care less if you others take whatever you want from her… But there is one thing I should probably make clear, above all else…

Her life’s off limits.

Kanato: You’re saying we can’t kill her? What’s with that rule?

Shuu: Beats me… It’s just what I’ve been told.

Yui: Wh-Wha! You should really say that sooner!!

Shuu: Why?

Yui: “Why”!? Th-That’s my life, we’re talking about…!

Shuu: Whatever…

Ayato: This stinks; Where’s the fun, if we’re meant t’tip-toe around this chick?

Shuu: Not my fault if it happens, I guess… Just be a man and own up to it when that guy ultimately finds out, I don’t want a target on my back.

Reiji: Or, rather, why don’t you be a man and take responsibility for her care?

After all, this woman did entrust herself with you, out of us all, no?

Subaru: Shuddup will ya!? I’d sooner kill this chick than take any orders from that guy.

Ryuuto: Big words for someone who can’t even look “that guy” in the eyes.

Subaru: Piss off.

Kanato: If that’s his order… there has to be something special about this girl, right?

Ayato: Special shmecial.

Who gives a damn!? I’d gladly screw his plans over, whatever they are…

Yui: ( “Something special”… Is that the reason Father’s referred me to this place? )

( Uu… The sooner I get into contact with him, the sooner I can sort this mess out, and find out if this “guy” is related to the Church, like he mentioned. )

Shuu: Seeing as you’d all point the finger at me… Keeping her alive is all I care about. You’re free to do anything else under the sun with her.

As for you… Don’t get in my way, yeah?

Yui: …!!

(  Somehow, someway… I need clarification on this; I need to contact Father. Then, I can focus on getting away from these people… )

( And hopefully I’ll do so unscathed… )

I still don't think I've been able to work out a definitive answer on whether the birds in this game are bird-sized or human-sized. From context clues I'm leaning more towards human-sized, but there's nothing concrete.

The idea of them being bird-sized is absolutely hilarious to imagine though.

In case you all were ever curious as to what my OG major fixation was (and currently is, I've been streaming this game to friends for weeks now):

[insectwmn]

my 14 year old self would have an aneurysm if she knew i was saying this but i’ve been having the time of my life reading diabolik lovers haunted dark bridal. and not even as a guilty pleasure (though, this game is goofy as fuck) it just works.

[emile-hides]

Okay one more Hatoful Poll and then I'll shut up

♱  DIABOLIK LOVERS: Haunted Dark Bridal ー Sakamaki Shuu | Dark 5½  ♱

⌜ Scene: School Courtyard ⌟

ー The school bell chimes. ー

Yui: Aah!

Time for class again, Shuu-san. Let’s get going, so we’re not late… Again.

…Eh?

Shuu-san? Where did you go?

( I could have sworn he was right here, with me. )

( No good… Don’t tell me he disappeared after hearing the bell. )

Pwahh… Is he avoiding me so he doesn’t have to go?

???: That shouldn’t be surprising.

Yui: E-Eh!?

ー Ryuuto suddenly appears by Yui. ー

( This guy! He’s… )

Ryuuto-san, right? That one that approached me at that house…

Ryuuto: The very same.

You seem surprised that we’ve crossed paths again, although I’m pleased to know that you’ve remembered my name, at the very least.

Yui: It’s hard to f-forget someone sneaking up on you like that…

( Something about how he’s looking at me tells me he’s up to no good… )

…Anyway, I think I better be on my way to class.

ー He blocks her path. ー

Ryuuto: I admire your desire to learn, although…

Missing class for but a few minutes won’t hurt; Stay for a little chat, will you? There is oh-so important business for us to touch on, after all.

Yui: What are you talking about?

Ryuuto: You see… I’m here to offer you a second chance.

I’m not too happy with how things between us left off, choosing the eldest Sakamaki – of all people – to care for you. It was foolish.

Yui: W-Well… I made my decision, and that was Shuu-san.

Ryuuto: Why decide upon him, I wonder?

Yui: Why not?

( Something tells me Ryuuto-san wouldn’t have been at all better… )

Ryuuto: Fufu, it should be obvious enough by this point already.

I’ve observed, how you’ve been disregarded by him on multiple occasions. Despite your gold-hearted attempt to do what is best for him.

Don’t you feel used, already?

Firstly, that kiss… and that bath incident. Of course, that’s not to mention his perverted assault upon your ears, with that “music” of his.

Yui: Y-You… know about all that!? How…

Ryuuto: …Fufufu.

Being tossed aside, used as nothing more than lewd entertainment, in such a perilous situation… Surely it is nothing short of difficult, no?

Alas, that happens to be just the sort of person Shuu is. One to disregard any and all responsibility he has, just for his own amusement.

So, why not place your trust into someone far more sensible?

Yui: That’s…

━─┉┈◈ Selection ◈┈┉─━

　　❈  I can handle myself ( ♥ )

Yui: I appreciate your concern, I think, but…

Besides that… weird behaviour of his, I’m sure I can handle myself with Shuu-san. S-So there is no reason to be looking out for me.

Ryuuto: You may have made your bed, but you need not lie in it, Pet.

Yui: Look, I’m confident that I’ll do just fine…!

　　❈  No, thank you

Yui: Do you mean… someone like you?

I think I-I’m fine as is, thank you…

Ryuuto: You don’t seem to say that with much conviction.

Yui: At the end of the day, you’re both Vampires. S-So what sort of difference would it even make, picking you?

You can’t expect me to take this sort of leap blindly…!

━━─┉┈┈◈◉◈┈┈┉─━━

Ryuuto: You can doubt my words all you like, though you’ll soon come to regret it; He’s an irresponsible one, Shuu. Mercilessly irresponsible.

And, I have no doubt that it might just get you killed.

Yui: But… It’s like Shuu-san said, there are those “special orders”. Right?

I’m not allowed to be killed; Why would he go against his own words?

Ryuuto: Would you take that chance?

Yui: ( And trust you instead? )

Ryuuto: You underestimate those people’s savagery, it seems.

ー Ryuuto creeps closer to her. ー

Once they catch scent of Her blood that runs through your veins… Fufu, you’ll be torn limb from limb in their frenzy; They’ve never been good at sharing.

Yui: “Her” blood…?

ー He grasps onto her arm. ー

Ryuuto: …Why not save yourself the grief, and choose me?

Yui: H-Hey…!

( He’s g-got such a tight grasp on my arm, suddenly! )

Ryuuto: Surely you know better than to trust these Sakamaki’s.

Is there not something deep within you that knows you would be safer elsewhere? A feeling… A voice, even, compelling you to say yes?

Yui: Ouch…

Ryuuto: You needn’t even let them know where you’ve run off you; We can head home right away, and you’ll be safe with me.

Yui: R-Ryuuto-san...!

You’re hurting me!!

ー He lets go of her arm. ー

Ryuuto: … …

Yui: Uu…

( I-I didn’t mean to raise my voice like that, but that really hurt! )

ー The second bell chimes, this time. ー

( …! The w-warning bell. )

Ryuuto: …I’m a patient man, but even I have my limits.

I’ll give you some time to reconsider, hm? Just don’t take too long doing so, before it becomes – ultimately – too late for you to be saved, Pet.

Yui: I…

I-I’m sorry, I need to get to class. Excuse me…!

ー Yui quickly runs off. ー

Ryuuto: … …

[rxtrase]

I swear Shuu would steal Yūma’s clothes and just, ugh, they’d probably be a little too big and I am loving it!

[nageki-the-friendly-ghost]

This has been talked about to death but.... the way every single otome route fulfills only one character at a time, and because of the way that the game is structured so that you have a pretty similar game experience each time with the "romance" scenes just kinda... added? it ends up letting you see just enough of the other characters tragedies to KNOW that they're always happening even when you're looking away.

And then you play BBL. And it just dumps on tragedy after tragedy. But they're ALL being addressed, ALL the birds have to face their demons, and it is SO SATISFYING

[sumire-bride]

{ FREE MY BOY FREE MY BOY }

{ The brothers freaking tf out it was NOT his fault Sumire was not being careful leave my chef alone T0T (as if I am not the one writing this) }

[ousama]

finished nanaki route and actually put my bat away for how it was handled

I CANT WAIT FOR U TO LEARN HIS LORE IN BBL ROUTE HES SO. SHAKES HIM but yeah his route existing comes off very scary given the genre but the way it isnt even really romantic and he rejects you is like good. ik its a dating sim but tbh most of the routes arent even that romantic lbr

[brave-symphonia]

I mean, you’re real suspicious.

That said, I don’t think he killed her.
