Love Suite

You have unlocked a Love Suite Key. Would you like to use it?

Stranger: (...Ah. The Love Suite. I was told that whoever I meet here will have me play a role of their "ideal"...)

Stranger: (...As for what Rue's ideal would be, I have no idea.)

Rue: "...Oh. You're here."

There's a sort of tone to their voice that borders on hostility. They seem to be constantly glancing around...but for what reason?

Stranger: (Damn. Even as his ideal, he's still vague as hell. I guess I just have to go along with it.)

"I...Guess I am. Is something wrong, Rue?"

Rue: "No. Nothing's wrong."

He looks away. "I'm just...curious about some things."

Stranger: "Hm? ...What sort of things?"

...For some reason, he felt like he would regret even asking, but...It's Rue, right? How bad could this be?

Rue: "...About you."

Stranger: "Me!?"

Rue: "Yes. You."

Rue steps closer...and Stranger can feel his pink eyes pierce his soul. But not in a terrifying way...in some sort of other way, that even he is not familiar with.

Rue: "You have been with me for all this time...despite all of my changes." He begins. "I would never expect someone to do that...considering that everyone else left me after the accident."

He walks around Stranger, as if inspecting every part of him, up...and down.

"And perhaps, after all this time...I find a sort of fascination with you. A fascination I never thought I could feel."

Stranger: "What...kind of fascination...?"

Rue: "Total fascination."

And in an instant, Rue grabs Stranger close by the scruff of his coat. "And it's driven me to the brink of insanity."

Stranger: He gasped from the sudden tug, finding Rue's words to border on complete nonsense...and yet, he had no will in him to protest. The way Rue spoke, his presence as he seemed to inspect him, the piercing gaze in his eyes...without even realizing it, Stranger had found themselves at Rue's complete mercy, and he didn't know if he was alright with that or not. Especially since he didn't know what Rue was planning to do...

Rue: "I have lived my entire life expecting to never feel these emotions. And yet, you...have broken my own rules. I need to understand how. I need to learn everything I can about you."

He lets Stranger go...but doesn't seem done with him yet. "I need you to get on the bed for me. I wish to inspect your soul through a method I believe will be most suitable."

Stranger: Was...was he trying to...?

Although the realization dimly hit his mind, he found himself still without a will to shake his head or walk the other way. He did exactly as he asked, lying down, fear painting his face as he wondered just exactly how this would go down...especially considering how Rue is known to be.

Stranger: And for a moment, he wondered...perhaps this wouldn't be that bad. Rue doesn't seem to be that type of person...he could genuinely just try to "experiment" on him, whatever that meant.

Rue: And then Rue pulled out a barbed whip from under the bed.

Stranger: "W-What--!?" Stranger whispered in panic. "What are you going to...-!?"

Rue: "I told you, I need to inspect your soul."

Rue climbed onto the bed, practically sitting on top of Stranger with a calculating gaze.

"I want to hear you cry. I want to hear you scream. I want to control every emotion you experience...so that I can understand you, and what you have done to me."

Stranger: "W-Wait, I--!"

And just as he thinks he can finally say "no"...he stares into his eyes, and the will to do so crumbles.

It'll be fine, Stranger...it'll be fine.

Rue: Rue seems to realize his submission, and a faint smile creeps upon his face.
