1. "No, please don't...!"
2. "D-don't hold this against me, alright?"
3. "It's me!!"
4. "Mira!?"
1. "I'm sorry for scaring you like that..."
2. "I never thought someone like you could even get scared..."
3. "Ahem... first of all, I wasn't scared."
4. "Fellow beastbloods don't scare me."
5. "Second of all, I was startled because I thought you were a rat rat."
6. "Either way, please don't show up in front of me like that again."
7. "Heh..."
8. "What were you even doing up there?"
1. "I was... listening in from above their...um, room."
2. "June told me you had volunteered to...you know..."
3. "And I... was worried about how it was going to go, so..."
4. "You... wanted to hear them go at it?"
5. "I--what!? No! What kind of person do you think I am!?"
6. "I did it out of concern for Miss Lunar's well-being!"
7. "You were the reason I had to even be there in the first place!"
8. "Ah, heh..."
9. "Please, please don't try that again, please!"
10. "She'll be the one taking the brunt of it if you end up upsetting Master Synne!"
11. "You know, it was really obvious even from my first day here..."
12. "Huh!?"
13. "But you sure care a lot about her."
1. "You two weren't like... y'know..."
2. "A thing, were you?"
3. "Oh...oh! Heavens, no! It's not that kind of relationship, honest!"
4. "Oh, phew, okay..."
5. "We're actually... how should I put it...?"
6. "We're... sisters, me and her."
7. "Huh!? Sisters!?"
1. "Nn..."
2. Synne...
3. This woman can make you feel like a princess, but also...
4. ...a prisoner serving a life sentence at the same time.
1. With her sculpted face...
2. Strong nose, shapely lips...
3. And her smooth, dark skin bringing it all together.
4. Who knows what kind of man would have chanced to experience her...
5. ...were it not for the matter of her sexual preferences.
6. "Unh... I'm still so tired..."
7. "Let me get a bit more sleep..."
8. Even then, I'm the only one allowed to be this close to her.
9. "Ah!"
10. "Then we can go for one more."
1. "That's not what I was poking you for, dummy!"
2. Oh...I can hear her pulse.
3. How am I supposed to feel about you...?
4. You've given me so many conflicting emotions...
5. Temptation, adoration... contentment... and fear.
6. Whenever she wraps her arms around me ...
7. I feel both... safe and terrified at the same time.
1. She's an intimidating woman...likely due to her duties and her line of work. Nobody's ever seen her crack even a hint of a smile.
2. Despite being the youngest child-- the only daughter-- of the Serpentine clan, surprisingly...
3. ...her abilities far outshined that of her two older brothers, which earned her the trust of their father...
4. ...who entrusted her with the family business.
5. Their casino hotel, not to mention the various other "entertainment establishments" under their name.
1. They say, to this day there hasn't even been a single one that's crossed her path...
2. ...who's seen her shift and come out of it alive to tell the tale.
3. Of course, there's no way you could work in that industry for long without getting your hands dirty.
4. Our first meeting... we'd have to go back.
5. 13 years ago.
1. "Miss Lunar and I are each other's stepsisters."
2. "My father met her mother, and they fell for each other."
3. "They both wanted a complete family again, so they got married."
4. "We had no blood tying us together, but even then..."
5. Related or no, we loved each other. We were siblings.
6. We took to each other well, likely because we were close in age.
7. I came to see her as my real little sister.
1. I had no complaints. We really were one big happy family.
2. ...Until her mother had a terrible accident. She was doing poorly for a while...
3. ...and then came the day she finally left us.
4. Her loss came like a monsoon, barreling into our lives and laying waste to everything it touched.
5. My father... became a shell of his former self. He turned to drinking and heavy gambling to numb the pain.
1. Lunar and I looked after each other as best we could. We had nobody else to rely on by that point.
2. Still very much deep in depression, my father began gambling away our life savings.
3. He couldn't keep up with his addiction, putting himself into so much debt he basically had nothing left.
4. Nothing... except for the two of us.
5. The father I once knew... had gambled away his soul to the devil.
1. We were his last bargaining chips. He was going to pawn us off.
2. "Lunar!!"
3. "w-waah... nooo! I want to stay with Mira!!"
4. "...Hold on."
5. "Say that again."
