She was aware that his gaze was on her—it was a little hard to ignore the sensation of that unnerving look of his—but she refused to let him distract her from her friend's conversation.

"So did your costume feel comfortable?" asked Mia.

"Oh yeah, it was nice! Was someone else's costume itchy?"

Mia laughed. "Oh no. Anna and Sarah said that theirs were fine. I'm just double checking." She gently tapped the side of her head as her tongue stuck out. "Worry Wart Mode comes out more often than I would like it to."

She gave a short laugh at that; Mia joined in.

Anna came over in the middle and asked what was so funny. As Mia talked with Anna, she caught the movement of silver in the corner of her eye.

Briefly, she turned her head a little, but upon seeing that it was Leon's hair, she deftly turned her head back most of the way. She curiously watched from one eye as Leon opened some case. The flash of white made comprehension dawn.

It's his mouthpiece for the fangs.

Her eye went back to her friends. Not even two seconds later, that eye drifted over to him as he put the piece in. Having never tried a mouthpiece before, she found herself curious about how it stayed in. She watched, begrudgedly, as he gradually pushed upwards with his thumbs on the front part of the piece. Done with that, he bit down a few times to make sure it was in.

She hadn't noticed, but in the middle of watching him her head had turned some more.

Leon did notice.

Suddenly, his head turned towards her as he snapped his teeth in her direction. She slightly jumped as he gave her a ferocious smirk that showed his fangs.

Embarrassed, she turned her head back.

How can May perform with him?

The man was frightening.
