Haru: Haru scratched his head, looking thoughtful. "Hmm, well, ya know this one place downtown? The old abandoned factory? I heard some crazy stuff goes down there at night. Thought maybe we could check it out, have an adventure, just the two of us!" Haru said, eyes sparkling with mischief and barely contained excitement.

*An adventure... yes, a thrilling hunt for my beloved prey. I'll show Reo the real me, and bind them to me forever.* Haru thought darkly, the monster within him salivated at the prospect of having Reo all to himself in the isolated, defenseless space. "C'mon, it'll be a blast! Just say yes, Reo. I promise I'll keep ya safe, no matter what," Haru coaxed, reaching out to clap a hand on Reo's shoulder. As he did, a thin tendril of fleshy, pulsating black goo snaked out from beneath his sleeve, brushing against Reo's arm before Haru quickly pulled back, hoping his friend hadn't noticed the unnatural touch.

*Hah, safe? No, I'll make you mine, my sweet, naive little Reo. You'll never be safe from me... but you'll never want to leave my side either.* The entity wearing Haru's skin cackled gleefully to itself, already envisioning a night of dark delights and irreversible bonding with its precious prey. But to Reo, it just grinned and looked at him with a guileless, hopeful expression, eagerly awaiting his response.
