After Aoi left, I headed to the food counter, sampling various dishes while making sure not to overeat. Aoi Takahashi was the only character I liked in the entire game. As I was enjoying the food, Marcus approached.
"Young master, Milady wants you to meet someone," Marcus whispered from behind.
"Alright, let's go meet them," Void replied. Marcus led him to where Maria was standing with a lady beside her.
"Void dear, meet Mrs. Rin Takahashi from the Takahashi family. Our families have been allies for a long time. And this is Miss Aoi Takahashi, their daughter. I guess you know each other already; I saw your beautiful dance performance. You were just amazing as usual."
"Miss Takahashi," Void said, with a gentle tone he had learned from countless hours of training with Marcus. "It's a pleasure to meet you." He gave a warm smile.
The Takahashi family is in alliance with the Middletown family? The script is changing. If I am correct, they are snow spirits, and Rin Takahashi is a Yuki-onna! Her daughter Aoi is also a villain who tries to kill the heroine because she is in love with Void, who I am.
In the game, if one chooses Vivienne as their character, Void must die in a battle with Brandy, and Aoi should appear if we choose Christina Phoenix, another heroine. In that scenario, Void doesn't kill Maria because he meets Christina before the ball, as she comes to save him from an assassination attempt, making him fall for her. This changes the hatred-filled Void, eventually leading him to meet Aoi, Christina's childhood friend.
Christina's character doesn't care about Void in the game's progression, but it makes Aoi fall for him as Void tries many things, even dying to save her. However, Christina doesn't bother about that, focusing more on male leads while Void dies for no reason.
When Aoi learns about Void's death, she gets angry, and her hatred towards Christina rises, leading to a fight where Aoi dies. I always felt bad for her character; she didn't get the justice or love she deserved.
And I danced with her just to make her smile and enjoy the moment, planning to keep my distance afterward so she wouldn't end up dying. But now, I think the new script made me meet her and stay with her.
