Card: [R] (Eyes that Hide Their True Intentions) Owen
Event: N/A ( Initial / Main Story )
Characters: Akira, Owen

Location: Manor Courtyard (Night)

Akira: (The moon is so big tonight...)

No matter how beautiful it is, no matter how mystifying... This is the Great Calamity. It's still pretty hard to believe.

Owen: You think so too, Master?

Akira: Ah... Owen! When did you get here?

Owen: Really, everyone's so terrified of the moon... even though it's this beautiful.

Akira: ... Owen, do you, perhaps, like the moon too?

Owen: I love it. It fills this world with such terror— such anxiety— such malice. Imagine how much more wonderful it would be if the moon were to descend upon on us right now.

Akira: I-I wouldn't like that.

Owen: Then? Why are you here this late at night, alone?

Akira: Ah, well... I couldn't really sleep, so...

Owen: Hmmm...? If you stay tucked away in the darkness all alone like this... a bad, bad wizard might steal you away, you know that?

Akira: H-Huh? But I figured it wouldn't be dangerous, since I'm still within the manor grounds... And all of you are here, and you're wizards, so...

Owen: Ohhh? You really trust alllll the wizards here quite a bit, don't you?

Then, be my friend, Master.

Akira: Uhm—?

Owen: Haha! What's that look for? How terribly cruel. You don't want to be friends with me?

Akira: (He's suddenly way too close... And, I don't know how to explain it, but... It's as if the air around him's changed...)

(Bushes rustle)

Akira: (! ... That sound... Did someone else just show up?)

Owen: ... Mmmm, too bad. Looks like we've been interrupted. Until next time, Master.

Akira: Wait— Owen! ... He's gone?

Cat: Meo~w.

Akira: Wah! Oh, man, it's just a cat. You scared me, little guy...

(I wonder... Just what was Owen trying to say next?)

(I kind of put up my guard without really thinking, but he seemed pretty cheerful now that I'm looking back on it...)

(Maybe he just wanted to talk to me...)
