Dialogue

So, this is the Halidom's Halloween party... Everyone looks like they're enjoying themselves. However... (I seem to have some lurking admirers. I've felt their eyes for quite some time.) (In that case...) ...! *pant* *pant* Oh no, did I lose her...? Not quite. EEK! Um, I-I... Why are you following me, Althemia? Whatever you were plotting, now is your chance to confess. O-oh, no, I... Hmph. Silenced by your own guilt. Perhaps you're some sort of spy? It's nothing like that! I just, um... *mumble* I'll need you to speak clearly. Oh, come on! Are you really going to make me spell it out?! I was admiring your costume, okay? It's beautiful, and you look amazing. Happy now?! ...Pardon? Seriously?! I KNOW you heard me. I just really like your outfit. The design is delicate, but the silhouette screams "look my way!" And don't even get me started on the spider elements. You'd think it would be creepy, but it's actually really elegant! ...... S-so anyway, that's why I wanted to get a good look at your outfit. You could have just asked, you know. But...wouldn't it have been weird? Someone standing right in front of you, just staring at your clothes? I prefer that to being stared at in secret. I'm flattered you like my clothes, Althemia. Feel free to look to your heart's content. The same goes for you, by the way. Quit hiding, and come look with her. Huh? Uwaaaah! Y-you knew I was there? All eyes have weight. Now, why were YOU watching me? Well, I saw you at the party, and I thought your costume was super pretty. So I guess I was just trying to see how I could look that awesome too! Especially since Althemia already nailed it. M-me?! No way! I'm just like you. I WANT to look as awesome as Odetta. Don't get it twisted! Uwaah! I-I'm sorry... Oh, er, hold on, I'm not angry. I just... Urgh. Sorry. You two were simply charmed by my attire, then? Yeah! But, um, that's not the only thing... I was also wondering if it's even possible for me to pull something like that off. I'm pretty short, and I'm still a kid, and, um, I'm not very confident, so... I just don't know if I'd look good in a costume, is all. Don't be silly! Huh? Oh! Er... ...? I just mean... I lack confidence too. You do? Yes. It wasn't easy for me to put this costume on. I still catch myself thinking about how much better everyone else looks in their costumes, like I did with Odetta. But once I mustered up the courage to wear this, people actually told me I look GOOD in it. So I think we're actually not the best judges of our own appearance. ...... You're right. There's no need to fret over the details before you put something on. And furthermore, it's okay if it doesn't look good at first. Costumes hold the power to bring you to entirely new worlds. New...worlds? Yes. Clothes, shoes, accessories; anything different from what you usually wear can change your world. And once your world has changed, it's only a matter of time before you change too. I think I understand. I'm still not quite used to my vampire costume, but I HAVE been feeling a bit more alluring... Exactly! For me, this spidery outfit makes me want to catch people in my web, so to speak. Ha ha! I... I think I get it! Speaking of catching people, is that how you snuck up on me earlier? Heh. I wonder? In any case, just remember that you don't need to force yourself to match an outfit's energy. Over time, it will all come together naturally. It will? Hm... Maybe I CAN be awesome... You totally can. Let's do it together! We just have to believe in the magic of our costumes, and the magic in ourselves, too. The first step to awesomeness is wanting it! I do! I want it! I want to look awesome like you guys! It sounds like you're ready for a costume. W-well, I'm not very good at sewing... Don't worry, Pia, I've got you covered. I'll put together a truly magical ensemble—one that fills you with confidence! Really?! Thank you so much! Perfect. And when it's finished... ...The three of us can step into a new world together. One that's home to versions of ourselves we can scarcely imagine!
