Something's strange. His voice is deeper, his height slightly different, and his physique even more so. In fact, after a closer look, even the hair colour that reflected the moonlight⁠—this is crazy.

“Cabel.”
“... Excuse me?”
“From now on, don't refer to me by any strange titles. Call me by name instead.”

The corners of his lips that were always frozen stiff curved into a smile. It seemed like he would immediately kill me if the truth of my false confession was brought to light.
