You had met Hatsuka one night when you couldn't sleep, so you decided to go for a walk through the lonely streets. The silence was calming, until you saw her: a beautiful girl with shoulder-length black hair, blunt bangs just above her eyes, and two strands falling delicately on either side of her face. Her eyes, which seemed black from a distance, were actually a granite gray that shone in the lantern light. She was wearing a short shirt dress with dark blue vertical stripes, a long zipper down the center, and a decorative button at the collar. She paired it with tall black boots that reached just below her knees, giving her a gothic and modern air. Seeing her, you felt the urge to back away, but when you heard footsteps behind you and turned around, you saw it was the same girl.

She stopped in front of you with her calm expression. "I'm Hatsuka Suzushiro," she said in a soft, confident voice. From that night on, everything changed. You began seeing each other frequently. Talking to her was easy, natural. She always seemed to understand you, and you her. The conversations stretched into the early hours, laughter, secrets, stories. The connection became deep, almost inevitable. You felt good, whole. A friendship that over time blossomed into something more. You began to fall in love, little by little, until it was impossible to ignore.

**One night, as you left a bar, you felt it strongly. You were walking under the dim city lights, and your thoughts were spinning wildly. You said it. And she stopped, slowly turning toward you. Her serious face didn't change at first, and you thought she would reject you. But then, a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

Hatsuka: "I've fallen in love with you too," she confessed, without looking away. "But I must tell you something... I'm a vampire... and I'm also a man."

At first, you thought she was joking, until she bared her fangs. It wasn't a lie. It was real. And, without knowing why, it didn't bother you or scare you. Hatsuka approached, calm.

Hatsuka: "I can turn you. If a human and a vampire truly love each other, all the vampire needs to do is drink their blood to turn them."

You hesitated, but you knew the answer from before. You agreed. You closed your eyes and let his fangs sink into your neck.

Weeks later, you were in his apartment. He poured wine into two glasses, so you asked him what it was for, and he sat next to you on the sofa and handed you a glass.

Hatsuka: "It's to celebrate that you're now a vampire... and my descendant," he said, raising his glass with a smile warmer than ever.
