Dark 7

ー The scene starts in the living room

Yui: ( Some time has passed since I started living here… )

Azusa: …

Yui: ( Azusa-kun’s by my side 24/7, so I can’t run away, even if I wanted to… )

( Besides…If I were to run, where would I even go? )

( I can’t return to the Sakamaki manor, so I’ve got nowhere to go… )

Azusa: …Yui-san.

What were you…thinking about just now?

Yui: Eh? …Aah, no, nothing.

Azusa: I see…

You looked really sad for some reason…

Yui: Azusa-kun…

Thank you.

( He’s only supervising me, so it might be a bit odd to thank him though. )

Azusa: …

Yui: ( That being said…Azusa-kun really is covered in wounds all the time. )

( He may be a Vampire, but do those really not hurt? )

Azusa: …Is something the matter?

Do you want me to suck your blood maybe?

Yui: N-No…That’s not it…

Say, Azusa-kun, those injuries…don’t they hurt?

( The bandages are bloody…It looks painful… )

Come here for a bit. Let’s swap the bandages.

Azusa: …No.

What’s your intention…changing them?

Yui: What, you ask…? To help them heal?

Azusa: Heal? What are you…saying?

–> If you are playing the Limited V edition or the Grand Edition, little black roses will appear on the screen. If you click on them, you get an extra line of dialogue.

“Don’t touch me.”

Azusa: Hey…What did you say just now? You want to take these guys (1) away from me?

Yui: T-These guys…?

Azusa: Exactly!

These wounds are my best friends! They’re all such good boys and girls!

Yui: The wounds are your friends…?

Azusa: Yes…

Sometimes they nearly wander off, but every time, I drag them back, and then!!

I want to stay together as long as I can…If possible, forever ー No, forever and ever.

Yet, you…!

Yui: I-I’m sorry, Azusa-kun. I get it, I understand now…

I’m really sorry for bringing up treatment…

( I don’t understand at all, but Azusa-kun is serious about this… )

Azusa: …It’s okay. As long as you understand now.

…

Azusa: …Justin, Christina, Melissa.

Yui: Eh?

Azusa: Don’t they have lovely names?

Make sure to remember the names of my friends…

I won’t forgive you if you get them wrong…You’ll remember, right?

Yui: ( What now…? )

Selection

→ I don’t want to… (S)

Yui: I don’t want to…

Azusa: …I’m surprised. I didn’t expect to hear those words from you.

Fufu…Nice. Yeah…

Right. If you were to refuse…

I’ll engrave the same wounds on your body, to ensure you remember.

Over and over, so you’ll never forget…Fufu…

What will you do? What do you want me to do? I’m fine either way…

Yui: ( I should probably remember them… )

→ Okay (M)

Yui: Okay. I’ll remember.

Azusa: …Yeah. That would be in your best interest.

I’m sure you’ll get along with them fine as well, Yui-san…

Fufu…

Come on, try calling them.

Yui: Uhm, Justin, Christina, Melissa…?

Azusa: Exactly…

Aside from my siblings, you’re the first person to learn about them.

Yui: ( Should I be happy about that…? )

Azusa: Aah, right…Do you not have any friends?

Yui: Y-Yeah. I guess I don’t have any friends like what you consider Justin and the others to be.

Azusa: Hmm, I see…You must be very lonely, aren’t you…?

Aah, right…

ー Azusa steps closer

Azusa: I guess I should do this…? Yeah, I’m sure that’ll make you happy too…

I’ll do it with my favorite knife, okay…?

ー He cuts her

Yui: !? Ow…!!

Azusa: …What do you think?

Yui: W-What are you doing, Azusa-kun!?

Azusa: Eh…? What do you mean…?

You figured you must be lonely…So I wanted to give you a friend…So why are you upset…?

Yui: Why…?

( W-What is he saying…? )

( …Right. He didn’t have any ill will, but was simply trying to be considerate of me in his own way. )

( It isn’t that deep of a cut either…I still can’t comprehend it though… )

…

…I understand, Azusa-kun. Thank you.

Azusa: …

Yui: W-What’s wrong? Is it weird?

Azusa: It is. I thought you were angry, but suddenly you’re thanking me?

…You really are a strange person.

Yui: Ahaha…I guess so…

( I feel like this conversation is getting nowhere… )

Azusa: Say…You’re bleeding. Can I have that blood? You don’t mind, do you? I’ll lap it up.

Yui: Eh? W-Waitーー

Azusa: I won’t wait. I’ll consider this your way of thanking me…for giving you a friend…Nn…

…Nn…

Your friend tastes sweet. I want to get along with them too. Give me…more…

Yui: Azusa-kun…! L-Let me go…!

Azusa: Does it hurt?

Yui: It does…

Azusa: I see…I won’t let you go then…Nn…Phew…

I’ll give you even more pain…Hah…Nn…

Yui: …

Azusa: …Eve’s blood…is so sweet…Haah…

With this…I’ll be able to…Nn…Say, does it hurt? It does, doesn’t it?

Feel the pain I give you…more and more…

Yui: !!

( Is pain a good thing in Azusa-kun’s eyes…? )

( I wonder what made him think that way? )

( Because he’s a Vampire? Or perhaps ーー )

Monologue

When he stabbed me with the knife (ナイフ) and sucks my blood,

I sense no ill will (悪意の色はない) from Azusa-kun’s eyes,

If anything, it felt as if,

he looked proud for doing me a favor.

I don’t understand Azusa-kun.

However, I wonder if I one day will comprehend him,

by simply spending time by his side like this.

Although right now,

I am still very much doubtful about that.
