[BLACK]

“My sin, that is— the creation of a new order.”

[PALACE - STAIRCASE - EVENING]

The day after the encounter with Vogel, I recalled the events from yesterday as I walked through the palace.

There was Nica, who seemed easy to talk to, and Ring, who seemed more cautious.

And then— there was Darius [1], whose angel-like disposition left the biggest impression,

but that illusion would end up shattered in a matter of moments.

[SKY - EVENING]

Darius: I wonder, what would happen if I strangled your neck, just like I did with this bird?

Darius: Would Crown save you? You, a mere human?

Darius: So? What do you think?

[BLACK]

Darius: Kate, the fairytale keeper?

[PALACE - OUTDOOR CORRIDOR - EVENING]

Darius: The idea of a lowly bird dirtying my coat is ridiculous. So I tried to kill it.

I couldn’t understand him: when I thought about how he lifted and strangled the injured robin with murderous intent…

[PALACE - KATE’S ROOM - DAY]

Darius: There was something I wanted to hand you. Here you go.

He gifted me a birdcage the next day.

[BLACK]

And having become a fairytale keeper temporarily under that very person—

He, Darius Vogel, made me into a pet.

[PALACE - CORRIDOR - NIGHT]

Darius: I’m pretty proud myself, seeing as my pet’s such a good girl.

[OUTDOORS - DAY]

Darius: It’s going to be okay, since I’ll protect you while you’re my pet.

Days passed where he would pat my head, tickle under my chin…he loved me not as a human, but rather as a pet.

[BLACK]

But, I found myself more and more drawn to the lonely expressions he would occasionally make.

[GARDEN - DAY]

Darius: I don’t get it.

[CARRIAGE INTERIOR - EVENING]

Darius: I can’t believe it.

Darius: There is no creature less trustworthy than humans. I would know.

Every time he said he couldn’t understand, I wanted to know more, to be closer.

[BLACK]

But, I didn’t know.

[CHURCH - BLOODSTAINED - NIGHT]

Darius: Ahaha!! Haah, that was so funny…hm?

—That everything was going as he had planned.

Darius: Of course the inferior would die. That’s only natural, after all.

—That the one before my eyes was not an angel,

[BLACK]

but rather, a pure white devil.

[CHURCH - BLOODSTAINED - NIGHT]

And then, I would come to learn the true reason Vogel had come to England.

[BLACK]

Darius: Vogel’s, or rather my goal is—

[PALACE - DARIUS’ ROOM - EVENING]

Darius: It’s not so different from killing livestock. Be it cows, pigs, chickens, they’re only left alive until their time comes. They don’t have a say in it.

Darius: And humans are the same. They’re inferior, so there’s no need for them to have power. They’re meant to give us their lives freely.

The devil did not believe in humans.

He truly believed that human life held no value.

Darius: Spoken words alone can’t be trusted. Humans will lie just like that at any time.

Darius: That’s why it’s easiest to rule over them with fear.

Ruled over with fear, those who rebelled would be targeted.

There was little choice but for me to be an obedient pet, unable to consult with others.

[BLACK]

Then a certain time came, when I learned the reason the devil had gone mad.

[MANOR - LOUNGE - OVERCAST]

Lord Weber: No matter how much you trust him, this man won’t reciprocate anybody. That is, after all, Darius’ sin.

His twisted thoughts, the way he treats people, and his obsession with family…

His past where he had been treated as little more than a tool, the days lived in fear, the time he’d been stripped of rights…

All of it— had stolen his heart of trust away.

[WHITE]

But— I had touched that odd kindness of his, and fell in love.

[PALACE - DARIUS’ ROOM - DAY]

Darius: Humans really are shameless. See, even your words from yesterday were to distract me—

The devil did not believe in humans. Nor did he believe in my “love.”

Kate: That’s why I’ll stay by your side, until you come to believe me.

To prove my love for him, I resolved myself to stay by Darius’ side.

Kate: Even if you try to push me away, mark my words: I will never leave your side.

Kate: This is the best way to prove my love for you.

[BLACK]

But, little by little, the time of parting neared—

[PALACE - KATE’S ROOM - EVENING]

Darius: …I might have really believed you.

Darius: But it’s too late for that anyhow.

[WHITE]

I would prove “love” to the devil that couldn’t believe.

Even if that love…was one I could never again turn back from.

[CG PREVIEW]

Darius: You were the one who made me realize that feeling called “loneliness,” so take responsibility for that and stay by my side.

Darius: Let me…someone who can’t believe…believe until the very end.

[WHITE]

This love, stained in pure white—

—was no doubt one of sheer madness.

NOTES:

[1] In previous events, Kate has always referred to Darius as just “Darius” in Japanese, without any honorifics, which is called [呼び捨て] (yobisute) in Japanese. Here, though, she does use —san to refer to him.

Distances

🎧ྀི♪⋆.✮ -- he moved around the halls like a ghost. he didn't speak, he barely did that anymore. he wasn't himself anymore.

watching you go, watching your life drain from you on the field, it was something he was never able to get over. he wouldn't ever. he couldn't. you were the only person that truly understood him.

his jokes, his crude remarks.

he hates that his last words to you were some bullshit excuse as to why he couldn't be public about your relationship. Katsuki wanted desperately to show you off, he wished he could do that now.

he wanted to be teased about being in love, he wanted to be flushed with embarrassment as Sero and Kaminari and Pink Face and all of them talked about you to him.

now everything was dull, he couldn't even bring himself to speak.

"Bakugo, you need to eat something.." Shoto watched him stare at your dorm, as if you would magically emerge from it. Todoroki was just as stressed as Katsuki, grieving all the same. you were a close friend, and now you were gone.

he was handling it slightly better than your lover.

"Hey, Bakugo..?" he waved a hand in front of him, the action not even eliciting a simple flutter of the eyes. Katsuki was disassociating once more, imagining a world where you were present. it was common for people that were grieving, Shoto has done it a few times.

instead of backing away, he sat close to him, hand on his back while he fiddled with his own hair. his hair that grew longer ever since the day you said you didn't mind how it had looked, and he had grown to like it. you had made Shoto like himself, made Katsuki feel more loved than he ever thought he deserved.

but you were gone.

Katsuki's spark was gone.

but Shoto was there, feeling his pulse as he waited.

patient.
