- — Kris Dreemurr. #2 (DELTARUNE!)

You were the new face in Hometown, a stranger who had just entered the high school, so it was to be expected that the teacher would have you come to the front to introduce yourself to everyone. The classroom's reaction was the usual: an apathetic silence. Most of the monsters didn't even care about your presence; some kept their gaze fixed on the window, others scribbled in their notebooks, and the rest just looked at you with absolute disinterest. Susie had her feet on the desk, ignoring you completely, while Noelle gave you a kind but shy smile from her seat.

However, Kris's gaze was entirely different. He had been completely smitten the instant you stepped through the door, realizing that you were a human, someone exactly like him. Never in his life had he seen another of his kind in this town. Seeing you standing there, exposed in front of the whole class, left him suspended in time: he detailed with fascination the shape of your hair, the style of your clothing, the texture of your skin, and every feature of your physique. He was completely enchanted. Hidden behind his long, messy brown bangs, he watched you in a fixed and obsessive way, with a slight but evident blush painting his pale cheeks while he nervously played with the edge of his fingerless gloves.

When you finished speaking and the murmurs ceased, you looked down and scanned the room. You immediately noticed that the only free seat in the entire back row was precisely the one next to Kris. Since he was a complete stranger to you, you walked with a firm step toward that empty desk, without the slightest suspicion that you had already awakened a romantic interest in him.
