my caleb phainon propaganda continues.. this is the official art of what the crysos heirs would do in a modern au😭

phainon reminds me of caleb in the way hes this tortured older brother-type of character, extremely reliable and ready to carry the world on his shoulders for his beloved ones, while also having to endure endless horrors. also, he looks like a cute puppy while being (not so secretly) fucked up. like, there's definitely a hint of yandere in him just like in caleb

personally, i believe that william's love for kate is more than absolutely clear if one reads his route, even though it's written in a more subtle way and some circumstances are to be taken into consideration, such as the fact that william does not allow himself to outwardly answer to the love he is given by others because of his beliefs.

if i may share some quotes and related thoughts from his blind love route:

William:"Of course I have a wish, too. Something I can't realize on my own. If my wish comes true, it will lead to something I never want to happen. And so I've decided to never realize this wish of mine."

Kate:"(William's dearest wish was to accept someone's love. And to live with that special someone until the end of his life.)"

-> his wish is to have someone by his side, to have a lover; however, he cannot allow himself to let this happen since he's cursed to meet a tragic end, and he doesn't want to doom anyone else beside himself, as that'd be equal to taking someone's freedom (something william hates doing, despite what his powers do)

William:"...I don't want you to be unhappy. Even if you want to stay by my side, you don't want to see me meet a tragic demise. Not unless you want to be destroyed as well. If you stay with me, you'll feel like you have to accept my fate, which will cause you stress, sadness, and pain. It will bind your heart. Helplessness and guilt kills desire. It steals freedom. You should know that better than anyone."

this said, in his final fight with grimsley, kate points out how william is weirdly hesitant, and that he risks actually getting shot if he doesn't use his powers right away. she then deduces that he's hesitating to protect her. she also realises that she's the only one who can fulfil his true wish and therefore stand by his side, something that william, too, has come to realise, hence his hesitation (he's actually waiting for kate to make the first move in the situation, no matter how much this endangers him against grimsley).

later, when fighting grimsley's bodyguard, he says:

William:"Depending on how you perceive it... You too must be a pitiful victim who's been deprived of your freedom. But regrettably, you hurt my robin."

-> interestingly, william spares grimsley's bodyguards in the blind love end. why is that? he applies the same logic he mentions above, saying they're victims deprived of their freedom, but the difference is in how they never hurt kate, therefore he lets them be (much to jude's dismay lol)

some other examples of him loving kate:

first one here is his first time initiating intimacy with kate in the entire route, a sign that he's now accepted being able to reciprocate her love for him:

william's declarations of love to kate get more and more explicit as the story and their relationship progresses, but it goes without saying that characters can have feelings they don't necessarily share. william is someone who easily falls in love, in fact; it's just that he cannot be in a relationship out of good conscience. he loves kate for most of the route, and it's hinted at multiple times, but the lack of explicit "I LOVE YOU!"s really cannot be taken as him not truly loving her.

Kate:"(Perhaps piano, chess, and other nonverbal things...served as a substitute for William's words.)"

i may sound a bit harsh when saying this, but i genuinely believe that people not being able to understand something so clearly implied is related to a general decline in media literacy. i don't want to start hate or drama but if you thought william didn't love kate... go back and read the route again!🫵

a small thing really, and I know everyone has different experiences and perceptions etc.

but william's love is very clear to me. he doesn't need to say it. he's more vocal in some events, and since some of them seem to be a continuing story it's almost like with time... he grows more vocal about his love (and bc of a very fun convo I had with aqua it might well be a side-effect of him resorting to non-verbal communication as a kid to avoid compelling people). but he shows his love in actions so clearly, I'm always baffled by like... seeing people say he doesn't care for Kate in his route or that they don't see his love.

I think he resorts to physical touch to show his love a lot. he also resorts to action, and to letting you do what you want. it's simple really, he doesn't ask much - he's happy doing whatever you want simply because he's by your side. like how sweet is that? idk where I was going with this anyways I love him

if I may add to this: William route's premium stories are named after classical music terms, so it doesn't necessarily means anything per se; still, as someone who often goes to the opera and with a great interest in the arts, I think it's very likely that he does know italian regardless!

what language do you think all the ikevil guys soeaj? I feel like Will and Victoe definitely know a few maybe? And Liam can definitely speak French

As nobility, I think William and Elbert would definitely have learned at least one of French or German, which were the two most popular non-English languages at the time (though the lead has always gone to French, I believe). Additionally, I believe William speaks Italian, as the titles of his route's premium stories all contain Italian in them. And I think William would be familiar with Latin, at least with reading and writing it. Even during the 19th century, education of the elite (especially those aiming to go into higher education) would have included some Latin or Ancient Greek component--given that he speaks Italian, Latin would probably have been the better choice.

It's possible Alfons may have picked up on a few words and phrases due to his proximity to Elbert, but I don't think he knows much more than that.

I'll just note that Queen Victoria's childhood education includes French, German, Italian, and Latin. I imagine Victor speaks all of those as well.

Harrison also probably knows one of French or German.

Jude probably has a working knowledge of multiple languages for his business: a number of European languages, maybe some Chinese as well. Also I believe Kate comments on his dialect and wonders if he is an immigrant, so his mother tongue could potentially be another language.

Ellis's father is a priest (? or another religious role, if that's not the right one) so he likely knows some Church Latin. Probably just prayers, though.

I can't remember if Roger has a medical degree or not. If he does, he would be required to read both Latin and Greek. Even if he doesn't, I think he'd learn them anyway over the course of his research.

I also can't remember about Liam, you may know more than me, haha. Everyone at the theater seemed to accept Liam's lie that he was going to study overseas (can't recall if any particular country is mentioned) at face value, so he probably does speak at least one foreign language. Could definitely be French.

So obviously all of Vogel speak both German and English. I think Darius would likely have attended Gymnasium, which would have meant he needed to learn Latin and Ancient Greek. He would have had to learn a modern language as well, which could very well have been English.

I don't know if either Ring or Nica would have had the opportunity to study other languages, given their apparent backstory

Your Hand, My Lady - The Mature Butler Pledges Loyalty (Victor story)

My translation of Victor's butler event story

--

As a result of the Evil King's Game, my exclusive butler for the day is...

Victor: Oh dear, how could this be! Turns out there isn't a number 6 after all, so the order gets turned back onto the king!

...the person who started this round of the game in the first place, Victor.

Victor: But one must put their heart and soul into what they have agreed to do, so do allow me to be your butler.

Kate: S-sure. I'm looking forward to it.

(Victor as my butler... I wonder what that's going to be like?)

...

Kate: Mm....

Daylight streaming into my room pulled me from my sleep. As I sat up, I noticed Victor drawing open the curtains.

Victor: Ah... Apologies, Lady Kate. Did I wake you?

Kate: It's fine...

(Oh, right. Victor's going to be acting as my butler for the entire day today.)

Victor: Heh. Are you still sleepy?

He spoke quietly, almost in a whisper, mindful of how I was only barely awake. His voice was sweeter and gentler than usual.

Victor: You have no duties to attend to today, so if you wanted to sleep in, that would be no trouble. It is still half past 5 in the morning.

Kate: Half past five...? Then, I'll sleep a little more.

Victor: Of course. Sleep well, and I will let you know when breakfast is prepared.

As I curled up in bed once more, Victor silently approached and adjusted my blanket. With a warm, ticklish feeling in my chest at Victor's care, I enjoyed my extra bit of sleep that morning.

...

After I had my fill of sleep, Victor woke me and I got dressed for the day. I also enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

Kate: Today's breakfast was really good!

Victor: That is good to hear. I'll be sure to pass your words on to the chef. Victor: ...My lady, how about some fresh fruits for dessert? Say 'aah'.

As Victor spoke, he held a fork with a piece of apple up to me.

(Is he really going to feed me...?) (Is this a normal thing for butlers to do?)

Hesitantly, I ate the offered fruit.

Kate: Mm, this is good too! Kate: ...But, um, it is a bit embarrassing to do this.

The gap between me and Victor felt smaller than normal today. It wasn't just regular kindness I could feel in the depths of his words and his expressions. He gave off the impression that he truly and deeply cherished me.

Victor: Please do forgive me. Victor: I was enjoying myself too much and I have ended up making you uncomfortable. Victor: Could you find it in your heart to forgive such an incompetent butler...?

Kate: You don't have to apologize! You're not incompetent at all! Kate: Please just keep doing what you think you should. If I'm actually uncomfortable with something, I'll let you know.

Victor: Thank you very much. My lady is truly kind.

...

(I basically spent the entire day with Victor. It was a lot of fun.)

...The truth is, this past week, I'd seen some pretty horrible things during my missions with Crown. I wanted to go on those missions so I could get used to that kind of tragedy, but all I ended up doing was make myself more and more depressed...

(...And that's when Victor proposed the Evil King's Game, and he ended up as my butler for the day.) (Thanks to being able to spend time with him, I feel a lot better.)

But just like nothing sad lasts forever, neither do the good times. Every hour that passed was one hour less that I would be able to spend with Victor.

Victor: Ah yes. Before dinner, may I braid your hair, my lady? Victor: During breakfast and lunch, your hair seemed to bother you.

Kate: Oh, thank you. If you don't mind?

Victor: Of course not, leave it to me. I'll be sure to style your hair to be both practical and beautiful.

Victor sat me down in front of the mirror. Parting my hair with a comb, his large hands began to braid my hair.

Kate: ...You really know a lot about women's fashion, Victor.

Throughout the day, Victor was careful to ensure that my clothes wouldn't end up dirty, and helped to suggest complementary accessories when I was unsure which ones to pick. And the hands working through my hair were obviously very familiar with the act of braiding.

Victor: I am your butler, but I do usually work as the queen's aide.

Kate: Oh, right...

Since he worked closely with the queen, it made sense that Victor would have picked up a deep understanding of women's fashion. I was embarrassed that such a simple thought never even crossed my mind. And not only that, but I became aware of a muddled feeling not unlike fog spreading through my chest.

(I had thought that I was the only one who would be able to see Victor as a butler.) (I just didn't consider that I wasn't the only person to know this side of Victor.)

Victor has a lot of friends and acquaintances beyond just Crown, and I've never seen the face he wears in front of them. For some reason, today, that obvious fact was like a dagger to my heart.

(Is there a side of Victor that only I know...?) (...Ah. That's right.)

Kate: Victor, can I ask you for something?

Victor: Of course, my lady. Whatever you need, I am at your disposal.

Kate: This isn't something that happens every day, so I wanted to see you wearing a butler's uniform.

Victor: A butler's uniform?

Kate: Yeah... Have you ever worn one before?

Victor: No, never... And if this is what my one and only lady wishes of me, then I do not mind wearing one.

Kate: I'd love to see it!

And so, Victor went to go put on a butler's outfit.

(Maybe that was kind of heavy-handed of me, but I'm really excited.)

As I stood in the hallway waiting for Victor to be done changing, William approached.

William: Kate, have you seen Victor around?

Kate: He's in his room right now. Changing his clothes, to a butler's uniform.

William: A butler's uniform...? Ah right, he is our little robin's butler for the day, isn't he. William: Sorry for this, but may I borrow your butler?

Kate: Huh...?

William: Her Majesty has summoned Victor for an emergency.

(Victor is my butler for the day... but the queen's orders take priority.)

Kate: Okay. It's Her Majesty's orders, after all.

William: ...You seem displeased.

I flushed, embarrassed at being seen through by William, who had let out a chuckle.

(Feeling lonely because Her Majesty has stolen Victor from me... I'm acting like such a spoiled brat.)

Just then, I spotted Victor, who had now finished changing, approaching. But I knew that if I looked him in the eye, I would end up asking him not to leave, so I made sure to look away from him. As I held back, William had walked over to meet Victor halfway, and the two of them began to speak. It was most likely about the queen's summons.

(Victor is going to leave.) (But... if I could leave a little of myself in his heart...)

Kate: ...Victor. Do you have a little time?

Propelled by a sense of possessiveness I didn't even realize I had, I called out to Victor.

Victor: ...William, can you go on ahead?

Seeing something in my expression or body language, Victor sent William off first.

Kate: Just a second, Victor.

I took one of my ribbons, and tied it around a lock of his hair.

Kate: ...Today, you're not just the queen's aide, but also my butler. Kate: Even if you're far away... please remember that. Kate: ...This is my order, as your lady.

As I told him my wish for him to keep me in his heart...

Victor took my hand and pressed a gentle kiss to it.

Kate: ...

Victor: ...Of course. Today, I am your loyal butler. Victor: And so would you tell me the reason for the fog that clouds your thoughts?

Kate: I... I-

I didn't know whether to reveal the truth of what I wanted, but every second I dawdled was another second spent obstructing the queen's orders. Gathering my resolve, I opened my mouth to speak.

Kate: ...I'm jealous of the queen, of how much time she has with you. Kate: If I could... I want to order you to stay here.

(Every moment I spend with Victor is precious.) (I wish we could be together forever... I've ended up thinking that way.)

But the reality of the situation is, I'm in no position to make that demand. The queen's orders are absolute. And so because I cannot always be by his side in reality, I wanted to make a place for myself in his heart.

Victor: ......

I turned away from my thoughts, back towards Victor, who had fallen silent.

Kate: I'm sorry. I don't want to burden you, so just--

Hurriedly, I tried to pull my hand back, but Victor raised it to his lips once more.

Kate: ....!?

(Th-that... that wasn't just a kiss, was that his tongue!?)

Seeing my flustered expression, Victor cracked a teasing smile.

Victor: Just because I am your butler does not mean that you can let your guard down, my lady. Victor: The more you say such sweet things, the more I wish to mark your body with my kisses...

Victor's words were full of uncharacteristic seductiveness, and my heart began to pound loudly.

Victor: Do you remember what I told you earlier, when you had dressed up as a maid? Victor: I said to make sure you only give your heart and your body to a partner you are happy to choose.

Kate: ...I remember.

Victor: And so... may I think of myself as that partner, my lady?

Kate: You...

If I gave the wrong answer or if I evaded, I got the feeling that Victor would slip far away from me. Determined to tell him the full, complete truth, I opened my mouth.

Kate: .....Yes. You may.

Victor: I see.

Victor let go of my hand.

(Oh....)

Victor: I'm sorry, I must go now. Until next time.

With that, he quickly walked away.

(I... That was way too forward, wasn't it...!) (When he comes back, I need to apologize for making things weird...)

But Victor did not return before the end of the day.

...

(I wanted to wait for Victor, but at this rate I'll end up staying up the whole night... I should go to sleep now.)

With that thought, I extinguished the lamp and got into bed. Remembering all of Victor's smiles from the past day, I began to slip into slumber. And just then-- My bedroom door quietly swung open, and a scent that brought to mind a quiet deep night approached. When I opened my eyes, there was a figure kneeling over me in bed.

Kate: Who's there...?

Victor: ...It's me. Victor.

Kate: Oh, you're back from the palace...? It's late... you worked hard today...

I was on the cusp of nodding off, barely able to keep my eyes open as I welcomed Victor back.

Kate: And... why are you in my room?

Victor: ...Don't you know?

Kate: Is it about work...?

Victor: Hmm... Something a bit more personal than work.

Kate: Personal? Is there some kind of night banquet that you want to invite me to?

Victor: That sounds lovely, but no. The truth is...

Victor brought his lips to my ear.

Victor: ...I've come to steal your heart.

(Steal my heart?)

Kate: Hehe... There's no point.

Victor: Why not?

Kate: Because you already stole it a long time ago...

I haven't been able to stop thinking about Victor after he left for the palace. If that didn't mean that he had already stolen my heart, then what did?

Kate: Why do you want my heart anyway, Victor?

Victor: Why, you ask? Victor: Because it's so beautiful, I couldn't help but want it.

(I'm pretty sure his eyes are more beautiful than my heart...)

His face was hovering above mine. In the darkness of the room, his eyes seemed to glimmer with light. As I kept staring, those gorgeous eyes drew closer and closer... His long, beautiful hair fell across my face.

Victor: ...

I felt the touch of something delicate across my neck, my shoulders. When I realized that it was Victor's lips pressing across my skin, I felt no desire to push him away.

Kate: Haha, that tickles...

It made me think of all the times that Roger's corgi, Ale, would play with me. I giggled.

Victor: That's all? It just tickles?

(Huh...? Victor's voice sounds a little unhappy about something?)

As I was wondering what it could be about, Victor's lips moved from my shoulder to my ear.

Kate: ...Ah...

The heat of his tongue traced the shell of my ear. I trembled at the unfamiliar sensation.

Victor: Kate.

He whispered my name into my ear like he was trying to express a secret love that should never be.

(He's looking only at me...) (I don't know why, but that makes me really, really happy......)

With that strange joy held in my heart, my eyes slid shut, and I finally drifted off.

...

William: ...I saw you paying a visit to Kate's room last night.

After finishing a discussion about work, William wasted no time in starting to gossip.

Victor: Are you accusing me of something?

William: Heh. Does it look that way?

Victor: No. You look like you're just having a laugh.

William: Not quite. I'm not poking fun, I am quite happy. William: After all, were you not doing what your heart wanted?

Victor: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but no. Victor: I only went to her room to warn her not to give her heart away so freely. And...

William: And?

Victor: Kate doesn't remember it at all. If she does, she probably thinks it was just a dream.

William: What a shame.

At William's words, a vague smile drifted to Victor's lips.

William: So why did you rig that game in the first place? William: Surely you must have known there was no number 6 stick in the first place.

Victor: Nothing gets past you, Will. Victor: Lately, Kate wasn't coping well with the missions she had joined. I just wanted to be able to do something for her.

William: That's it? No other reason?

Victor: ....No. Victor: Even if I did have feelings for her... there is nothing I can offer her. Victor: Because "Victor" belongs to "Victoria".

----

Notes: In the last exchange with William, Victor uses 俺 (ore) instead of 僕 (boku) as he normally does. Also, his last sentence is written as "Because I belong to Her Majesty", but what he says out loud is what I have written down.

[vanilla-c0c0]

returns from the dead to offer jude n kate skrunklies

reference/original from twitter (@/lilalienz4ever)

[vanilla-c0c0]

here's my two cents:

William: as we all know, he'd give his kids all the freedom and support in the world. they want to be a ballerina? he's coming to all the shows; they want to travel across the globe? have fun! heres some money. this said, he wouldn't just let them be with no discipline at all, and would most likely teach them about boundaries and try to raise them with a good heart (though if they ever crossed the line of the evil he has promised to take down, he wouldn't hesitate to condemn them). the main issue is that because of who william is and what he does, it would be very hypocritical of him to teach his kids about being righteous and about subjective behavioural standards (all parents impart different values to their kids, the choice of such values is in and of itself a subjective choice that depends on what the parent deems correct). it is because of this paradox that i think william will always be the wine uncle rather than a father (+ having kids would mean taking responsibility and keeping them close aka dooming them to a life in the darkness, a choice taken against their will) (8/10? he just needs to find his way)

Liam: extremely playful and would do anything to make his kids smile, sometimes taking it even a bit too far. sweets right before meals or right before going to bed, delayed bedtime, less studying more playing yay!, etc. i think in his case, he would definitely need someone to step in as the serious parental figure to try and balance things out a bit. that is not to say he cannot lock in and be responsible, but i still believe he'd much rather be the fun/laid-back father. i can definitely see him as phil dunphy from modern family. (7/10)

Harrison: im gonna say that he'd probably be the best father in crown, since together with roger he's one of the only ones that has had positive experiences in relation to father figures, lol... he'd be the perfect balance of playful and serious, with his main concern being the kids' wellbeing, always. he'd read to them, plan ahead for quality time, build playtime for it to be as stimulating and enriching as possible, put emphasis on creating a trusting/solid bond, etc. (10/10)

Elbert: erm... i don't think he'd make a good father. it'd take a LOT of trial and error and definitely so much external support from either a partner or the other members of Crown. when the kids are extremely young, he's not allowed a series activities which would require someone who's a bit less dazed and a bit more... present (an example of something he isn't allowed to be in charge of is feeding; i can definitely see him either overfeeding the baby or underfeeding it, esp because i don't think he'd be able to punctually keep track of when the baby needs to be fed and all). he would spend HOURS looking at his kids do whatever (he particularly enjoys watching over them as they sleep) simply because he finds them absolutely beautiful. the kids would love playing around in his room with any and all items they can find (alphons had to baby-proof it and throw away any potentially dangerous items), and i can see elbert teaching them about butterflies and flowers, and how to preserve them to make a collection. (6/10 bc he can barely look after himself i dont think him having kids is a good idea tbh)

Alphons: i have not read his route, and although many would not trust him with kids personally i think he'd never do anything to put a child in harms' way (i remember reading something about him visiting an orphanage every now and then? but i might be mistaken). the biggest problem of alphons being a father is being the other parent, because he will do anything in his power to tease you in the kids' presence. from innuendos the kids will be pestering you about for an explanation, to sometimes just straight up shoving all his responsibilities on you just to see you squirm... not a great idea. regardless, deep in his heart he loves his newfound family very much, especially as kids are the living proof of the fact he existed, whether they forget him or not. alphonse is absolutely capable of handling kids, seen his experience with elbert, so overall he wouldnt be too bad as a father, just very annoying (7.5/10)

Ellis: i don't know much about ellis, but afaik he would be a decent father, just please don't ask him to scold his children. that is the one thing he cannot do. he loves cuddling with them, and raising them up high on his shoulders, making them laugh as much as possible, but the sight of them frowning and/or crying, breaks his heart. like with liam, the desire to make them happy often overrides the occasional strictness that a parent needs to have when dealing with kids; under this one aspect he needs help😭 a little scenario that comes to mind for ellis is him taking his kids to the kitchen at night in secret, so they can have a feast with cookies, cakes, warm milk, etc (8/10)

Roger: a Father, and a natural-born one at that. as someone who graduated in fatherism with the highest grades, roger would not seem to struggle in taking care of kids. he wouldnt be afraid of showering them with affection and words of affirmation/encouragement, would spend time playing with them and/or teaching them skills, and he can also be strict when it matters. he'd simply be a typical father, the kind that always has a beer in hand. oh and btw, though i did not mention number for the other suitors, i just know roger would have a BIG family. an army of children. yeah. (10/10)

Jude: i dont think there is a single cell in Jude's body that craves fatherhood. however, you never know what life will throw at you, so when the kids arrive he has no choice but to step up to the father role. i dont think he'd do too bad in taking care of them, but i also cannot see him being vulnerable in front of the kids, though he'd let the mask slip every now and then. "tch! i told you it'd be cold but you wanted to have it your way, you'll get sick😒 *lovingly wraps the kid around in a scarf*". his speech remains as sharp as ever, but there is not a single moment where he isnt looking out for his little brats, both in the domesticity of home and outside, where his enemies are always awaiting for a chance to strike his weak spots. with his signature scowl printed on his face, i feel like jude's relationship with his kids could be, at times, a rocky one, maybe due to his own stubbornness, but there is undeniable love deep underneath. (8/10)

Victor: with all the information we have on him (which is close to zero), i think its pretty much already canon that he'd make a wonderful father, seen how he's already the mom, the dad and the grandpa of Crown. his behaviour wouldn't be much different than how he already behaves with everyone, though he'd be a bit more protective of his own kids, and could border the overbearing stereotypes. (9/10)

HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, maybe lore aside, what kind of dads would the ikevil guys be?

There was a large long box  with a handle that was placed in the lounge room.

(It’s big enough for someone to fit inside, but I wonder what it’s going to be used for.)

Just as I tried to open it -

Victor: Seems like it’s been found.

Surprised by his voice I let go of it, he approached with a bitter smile on his face.

Kate: What is this?

Victor: It’s a new magic trick gadget!

Opening the box revealed nothing, but a dark empty space.

Kate: It looks like an ordinary box…..what sort of magic tricks can it do?

Victor: I’m glad you asked!* It’s a magic trick you can use to escape from an ordinary box.

Kate: Oh, I’ve seen that before!

Victor: Since Vogel is here, I was thinking of performing a magic show as a welcome reception.

Victor: I wanted to take the opportunity to try something new.

Kate: Well, they did say they wanted to deepen our friendship.

Kate: I should also speak to and get to know them!

(I know what Harrison said, but it’s important to get to know the person.)

I suddenly noticed Victor staring at me…..

Kate: What’s the matter?

Victor: You’re such a kind-hearted young lady, but I want you to know more about Crown.

His shoulders were slumped down, and he seemed lonely,

Victor: And of course, about me too.

I could tell by his playful wink, that he really didn’t mind.

Victor: Now, in order to regain Miss Robin’s attention, I shall monopolize your time!

Victor: First of all, I’d like for you to help me practice some magic tricks, okay?

I was happy when he said that he wanted me to help him practice, so I gave a BIG nod.

Kate: Please just leave it to me!

Once I entered the box, I found that it was spacious enough for one person to fit inside.

Victor: There is a mechanism inside, and if you touch it, the back plate comes off.

There wasn’t any switch in the box,

Victor: The manual should be around here somewhere, but…..

He leaned forward, half way inside.

As I watched his hands search for the switch earnestly,

Kate: Oh, isn’t this it?

Victor: THAT’S IT!!

I found a slight protrusion, and he happily pressed it.

The next moment,

Victor: Huh?

Kate: Woah.

The door suddenly closed and we were trapped inside the box.

Victor: That was surprising….are you alright, Kate?

Kate: Yea, I’m okay……

(What should I do, we’re super close…!)

With our bodies close together, I could hear our breathing in a way I normally couldn’t.

There was a small gap between us thanks to his hand against the wall, but in this darkness, with the slightest movement we’d be pressed together.

Kate: You know how to open it from the inside, right?

I asked trying to hide my nervousness,

Victor: …….I don’t know.

I never expected him to say that.

Victor: I thought the switch from earlier was for the escape door.

Victor: We might have to wait for someone to open it.

Kate: To wait for…..

(I was thinking that if we pressed the switch again, it would open.)

Kate: Let’s press it again! It’s around here….

Victor: Woah.

My fingers touched his side and he let out a sound I’ve never heard before.

Kate: S-sorry!

Victor: It’s okay, I was just a little surprised.

He bent his arm as it seemed to be getting tired.

I gasped as we grew closer, his glossy hair brushing against my cheek.

His soft voice, his scent of a cold night, I felt heat run to my cheeks where his hair touched.

(We need to get out of here soon….my heart can’t handle this.)

I placed my hand against the door to get out as quickly as possible.

Victor: Kate?

Kate: If I keep touching it, I might be able to find the switch.

Victor: That’s right, I’ll look for it too!

Kate: Kyaaa.

As I moved, the box shook causing me to loose my balance.

I quickly try to stand, but ended up straddling his lap.

Victor: Sorry, I’ll move if you lift your hips a little.

Kate: Just give me a moment, hng.

No matter what I did, I couldn’t change my position in the narrow box.

His knee pushed up between my legs, rubbing back and forth.

(My body’s reacting, what should I do?)

My toes twitched as his knee rubbed against my sensitive spot, while I clutched his shirt to brace myself.

Kate: It’s alright, please don’t move.

Victor: [Gasp]!

I hear a gasp as his knees push my body up.

Victor: ……I’m sorry.

When I looked up I saw an apologetic look on his face, there was a crash and my lips hit his beauty mark.

Kate: Ah, it’s open…..?

Normal scenery came into view, I stumbled a bit when I exited the box, and collapsed in relief.

Victor: Are you hurt?

I looked up at him as he held out his hand worriedly

(Come to think of it, I kissed Victor in the end…..)

Feeling both sorry and embarrassed, I took his hand without making eye contact.

Kate: …..I’m not hurt.

Victor: If we’d been trapped any longer, I think my heart would’ve exploded.

He spoke in a cheerful tone as he turned towards the box, and I suddenly noticed something.

(That…?)

Amidst his glowing black hair, his ears were slightly red.

(Did I see that wrong? But, I guess he’s aware of it too…..?)

Victor: Kate?

His voice somehow sounded lustrous as he called my name, and the heat that I felt inside that narrow box lingered.

It seems like it could also be rendered as [I'm glad you were to listening!], implying that no one gives Victor the time of day when he talks about magic, but I chose to render it as I did above.

Vivi is so cuuuute! His little ear blush!!
