Visiting the Castle of Candles was usually annoying, for some reason or another. Mostly for one reason. And to his host's dismay, the visits certainly never turned Tsuzuki on.

     This time though, as he stood in a waiting room... he kept imagining hands stroking him. The castle's illusions, probably. But...

     Illusions couldn't unbutton his jacket. Tsuzuki started, staring at... nothing. "Hakushaku?"

     "Ohoho - it is indeed I, Tsuzuki!"

     No mask, no gloves. Tsuzuki squinted. "...Are you naked!?"

     "When have you ever seen me wearing anything but my gloves and mask in your presence?" The leer was audible.

     Tsuzuki turned and ran.
