I'm going to do this romantic like imagine/scenario thing using MC but it can also be easily turned into a X reader.

Vagastrom! Tohma and Younger Alt (+ impulsive/reckless)! Mc first meeting at a rock/punk show back during Tohma's Vagastrom days. (He's out on a R&R permit.)

Imagine them hitting it off, they click naturally. They end up spending the night together (IYKWIM) .

Either way by the next day they're just a memory in each other's minds. Just the hot girl/boy they met at the Rock/Punk show.

Time goes by (to when the game's story begins) and they've both changed so much.

Tohma has transferred to Frostheim. He cleaned up his act. He's almost completely unrecognizable to the guy he was before, when they first met.

MC has changed too. She toned down her edgier looks. She adjusted her wardrobe, her attitude, how she goes about life. She's now thought to be Basic, or a normie at first glance based on her appearance.

She still attends the shows, just not as often as before. And She can still belt the lyrics to her favorite bands by heart. She's just less obvious and obnoxious about it.

That's actually how she got cursed (at least in this version). She was coming back from a rock show. The band that was performing was disbanding and it was their last show. And on her way home the Kyklos shows up.

She ends up at Darkwick. But because time is cruel, when they both meet again they don't recognize each other at all. They continue on as if they're strangers meeting for the first time.

But with each meeting they can't help but be intrigued. There's just something about the other person, something almost magnetic about them. They just Have to know more about the other person.

And then it's this slow burn type of romance.

I'm not too sure exactly how it'll go after that though... Maybe something like this?

Like one day Leo being the little shit he is (<- Affectionate) gets his hands on an old Photo of Thoma (Yearbook photo, Darkwick ID, dingy ass Polaroid from a different show & or event, whatever you get the idea) and decides to show MC knowing it'll irritate/piss off Tohma once he finds out. Because Tohma left that part of him in the past for a Reason...

But MC doesn't react as Leo expected. He expected something much more obvious, dramatic, loud. A real "Oh my god! No way! That can't possibly be him!!!" type of deal. Definitely not this quiet, reserved, almost calm and at peace reaction.

And that bugs the living hell out of Leo. NPC's are supposed to be predictable and that wasn't predictable. So obviously Leo goes digging. Because something is amiss here.

It took him a while but Leo eventually finds old photos of MC done up in all her Punk/Alt/Rocker glory, as well as old footage that some other random concert goer recorded from the show where Tohma and MC met. Tohma and MC show up in the footage for less than 4 seconds but it's undoubtedly them. Leo's sure of it.

And Leo being Darkwick's favorite shit stirrer decides to do what he does best, stir the pot. And what better way to do that than harass MC about it and be the most obnoxious wingman ever because that is going to be entertaining as hell for Leo.
