Bonus Story[]
~Cats~
Murr is a cat with a very grumpy demeanor. While he easily warms up to women, this means he is generally indifferent towards Noé his primary owner. Any of Noé's attempts to show affection towards Murr will be met with nothing but violence in return, but Noé, face covered in claw scratches, has been used to this from Murr since childhood and has convinced himself for this to be his unique way of returning affection. Then Vanitas walks by. Murr immediately hops out of Noé's arms and rushes to Vanitas's side, rubbing against his leg, meowing at him, clinging to his coat, all the while Vanitas continues nonchalantly walking. Noé, absolutely mortified, demands to know why Murr likes Vanitas so much while trying and failing to call his own cat to his side. Vanitas does not know and does not care, mildly irritated that he can't read his newspaper with Murr lying on his lap. Noé asks if he bribed Murr or even if he's secretly a woman—Vanitas threatens to punch him. Vanitas, in comparison to Noé, is the type to not care about cats and thus gets exponentially more attention from them.
~Jeanne's Clothes~
Jeanne, Luca, Dominique, Noé, and Vanitas are out and about in Altus Paris together. While Vanitas attempts to stop Noé from wandering off and getting lost in the background, Dominique comments on Jeanne's dress and how nice she looks and Luca agrees, making Jeanne flustered. Dominique remarks how unique the silhouette of Jeanne's usual outfit is, the form-fitting skirt making for a slim and straight shape compared to the most common fashion of voluminous bustle skirts with a bell-shaped silhouette. Jeanne explains that the reason for her existence is protecting Luca so she has no need to dress so fancily. She used to wear men's clothing for better mobility but the sight made Luca devastated. Luca defends himself by insisting with passion that Jeanne deserves to wear only the most beautiful of clothing, and Dominique with just as much vigor and intensity agrees wholeheartedly. However Jeanne mulls it over and concludes that if she discounts defense the best for mobility and agility would be to just be naked. Dominique and Luca protest this loudly. Due to Jeanne's duties requiring her to move agilely in battle and not have any meaningless fabric restricting her movements, her current most common outfit had been custom made.
~Dance~
While Vanitas and Noé are slow dancing together, Vanitas asks why Noé can dance the woman's part so easily with no issue. Noé tilts his head and asks why he wouldn't be able to, and Vanitas wonders if he is the strange one after all. Noé explains that Dominique had taught him how to dance as a child and at that time it was the woman's part he learned. On the other side, Dominique and Jeanne are dancing as well with Dominique leading as the man's part. Vanitas asks how that even makes sense. In the past, a child Dominique bashfully asks Louis to teach her how to dance the man's part. Louis, pausing in the middle of his book reading, asks why. Dominique averts her eyes nervously and explains that she thinks Noé looks so cute wearing a dress that she'd like to escort him as a prince herself. Louis stares, then he comes to a realization and stands up accepting her request to her joy. Louis reasons that is Noé only knows how to dance the woman's part then other women won't be able to dance with him. However, after this Louis made sure to hammer into Noé's head the man's part.
~Ghost Tolerance~
In the depths catacombes, so eerie in atmosphere that it's infamous for being supposedly haunted. The case of Dante. He puts on a tough and uncaring veneer but is horribly weak to scary things, because he believes in ghosts. The case of Noé. He treats the experience like every other new experience of his, with childlike excitement and glee, unsure of whether ghosts truly exist or not but wishing to meet one and befriend them if so. On his shoulder Murr stares intently at something up in the corner. The case of Vanitas. He does not believe in ghosts in the slightest, even stating out loud all the scientific reasons why they do not exist. Then a ghost actually appears and Vanitas, not expecting such a thing, freaks out right alongside Dante and screams his lungs out even as he tries to come up with a logical explanation. Noé behind them asks if they see something and whines that he wants to see it too.
