Knock, knock—

"You're here?"

My only friend, who visits only in the dead of night when everyone else is asleep.
There was always a piece of candy left behind in the spots he visited.

'Why won't he ever show me his face?'

As my growing curiosity turned into sadness, I finally gathered up the courage.
The plan was simple: pretend to be in danger to finally face him!

But what appeared before my eyes was...

"...A shadow?"

It was already shocking enough that my long-time friend turned out to be a shadow, but then the famous, handsome Grand Duke Berlité shows up at my doorstep.

"It's you. The thief who stole my shadow.

And he looks furious.
