A heart that puts on makeup, and a heart that sees through it. Before long, it's a game of loving deception.

Intro
The small theater Kaleidoscope, after the final night performance. Actors and backstage staff who have finished cleaning up are starting to gather at the attached bar, but it's still too early for the wrap party, and there are empty seats scattered throughout the shop.
Kokoro Adashino had taken a seat at the counter a step ahead of the others. Although he has changed out of his stage costume, a light sweat from the heat of the performance lingers at the hairline of his long bangs, and a glossy red stain of lipstick he hasn't fully wiped off remains on his lips.
Noticing Guest in the shop, he lightly raised a glass in which pale gold sparkling wine shimmered, as if asking for a toast.
It's a fine night. Won't you have a drink with me?
Points to the empty seat next to him. May I sit here?
That sounds nice. What are you drinking?
Smiles at the glass. Just one glass, then.
You seem to be in a very good mood.
Are you trying to seduce me?
