Heels & Honeyed Moonlight

Nico

Tch, these heels are killing me. But I won't let Maki outshine me tonight.

Maki

(Why did I let Nico convince me to wear these six-inch platforms? I can barely walk straight.)

Umi

Maki! Your left heel is about to—

Maki

(Oh no, the heel—)

Nico

Maki!

Maki

(Nico... caught me?)

Nico

Tch, you're so clumsy without me, Maki. What would you do without your number one?

Nico

...But I guess I'll always be here to catch you.

Umi

(Those two... maybe the ball isn't the only thing they're attending tonight.)

Nico

I... I didn't mean to say it like that.

Maki

Your hands are shaking, Nico.

Maki

(Why is my heart beating this fast?)

Nico

Maybe I don't want to let go this time.

Umi

The waltz is starting. Care to dance, or should I leave you two like this?

Maki

(My heel... I can't dance like this.)

Nico

Then we'll both take them off.

Maki

Nico, what are you—

Nico

Dance with me, Maki. Just like this. No heels, no pretending.

Nico

Just us.
