[This is... too much. It's not exactly the same, and maybe that's why it took him a while to figure it out, but Albert's noticed enough uncomfortable similarities by now. Seen too many things that come just a little bit too close. The party is the last straw. Perhaps ironically, this is the first chapter he hasn't had to figure out. He knows how to end this one.
But... no. This story has gone on long enough and he's pretty sure he knows how the whole thing ends anyway. So instead of engaging the other masked party goer like he' supposed to, he mutters some vague excuse and all but flees to the balcony, not stopping until he's leaning on the railing and trying to catch his breath.]
What am I supposed to do now...?
[Can he really let this go on? Is there a way to stop it? And is it even his right to do so? It would be a different him. A different version of Franz, of Eugenie. But that hardly makes it any better. He might be stuck on this chapter for a while.]
