"WELCOME BACK, ICHIRO!"
"Good morning, Sensei!"
[Cheer, like you've just been told school has been cancelled]

[After class is dismissed] "Thank you very much!"
The audition lines are all the lines for this role.
"A month has passed since Hinako Yamazaki, a local resident, was last seen. Authorities are considering her a runaway, and today announced that they will cease further investigation."
"Yamazaki's family disagrees, claiming it's no mere coincidence."
"Another child in their neighborhood, Yasu Iwasaki, went missing three months ago. Authorities have declined to comment on possible connections between the two cases."
Yuuto is the protagonist's best friend. He's perverted, naive and always cheerful. Deep down, he's dealing with a lot of mental health issues due to childhood trauma.
Yuuto has a soft, youthful voice. Think "dumb but lovable anime best friend". Voice cracks in intense dialogue are welcomed! Teen vibes.

[Laugh]
[Mood: Traumatized... Verge of tears. He just saved his best friend from an assailant, but may have killed the assailant by accident. He broke a vase over his head. Please only read Yuuto's lines.]

Yuuto (verge of tears, calm tone) : "What the fuck do we do now?"
Yuuto (verge of tears, calm tone): "...What about the blood?"
Yuuto: (verge of tears, calm tone) "Y-You should go unlock the door—make it look like a home invasion or something... I‘ll clean this up."
I shake my head.
Ichiro: "I'll… help."
Yuuto: (verge of tears, calm tone) "Help? We‘re {i|beyond{/i} fucked!"

Ichiro: "Ah. Heh, well… I'm glad to see you too…?"
Yuna: "Good!"
Yuna: "I know we didn't talk much before, but I thought you could use a friend that understands what you're going through."
Yuna: "Sooooooo… Are you free after school today?"

Okada-sensei: "Alright. Let's begin!"
Okada-sensei: "Class dismissed. See you Monday."
The Boogeyman is a demon. It presents itself as a beautiful woman. A goddess. Its voice comes off as elegant and beautiful, but loses it's warmth and beauty when it's unhappy.
The Boogeyman has 85 lines in total. The price can be negotiated if it's not satisfactory.
[the Boogeyman is the narrator of the prologue.]
What is "truth"?
Do Man's eyes reveal it—or is the species doomed to see nothing more than mere specters?
Is "reality" like a shadow on the wall, dancing to a flickering flame?
At least it is true that, outside of their own existence, mankind cannot truly {b}prove{/b} anything…
[The tone should be calm and ethereal. Like a Goddess gracing a peasant with her presence.]
???: "Hello, child."
???: "The one you called. My apologies for taking so long."
???: "Me? My name has been lost to time."
???: "My desire? Reverence—and where none can be found… {i}fear.{/i}"
???: "The Devourer of Souls, though some call me 'The Boogeyman.'"
Boogeyman: "I am sometimes benevolent, so I've decided to hear your plea."
[Mood: Desperation, Fear, Rage]

Boogeyman: "You! I'll kill you!"

Boogeyman: "You're wrong!"
Any voice type is allowed to audition. He may be a big boy, but you don't need a deep voice.
Pito is a bully character. He's best friends with Botan. He used to be best friends with Yuuto too, but after an incident in early childhood, their friendship fizzled out, as Yuuto became closer to his new best friend, Ichiro. Pito saw how this affected Botan, and has stood by him ever since. He only bullies those that Botan hates, to show loyalty and support for his best friend.
[Flashback scene to when Yuuto is dating Pito's sister. Pito is livid.]
Pito: "Ayame, get the hell away from that psycho!"
Ayame: "P-Pito? What are you doing here?"
Pito: "Someone told me some {i}freak{/i} was creeping on my sister—and I had to see it with my own two eyes."
Ayame: "No. They’re not going to do anything—right, Pito?"
Pito: "The fuck we’re not! She’s only thirteen, you fucking sicko!"
Ayame: "Leave him alone, Pito! My birthday's next week!"
Pito: "What difference does that make? You’re still my little sister, so he should know you’re off limits!"
Pito: "Why him, huh? Can’t you see he’s just using you to get to me!?"
Pito: "...I’m gonna tell our parents about this."
Pito: "You were warned to stay away from me and my family, Hayashi."
Botan is a bully character. He's best friends with Pito. He used to be best friends with Yuuto too, but after an incident in early childhood, their friendship fizzled out, as Yuuto became closer to his new best friend, Ichiro. Botan is driven by jealousy. He has a crush on his bullying target, Yuuto, that just won't seem to go away.
[First interaction with the player]
Botan: "What’s it gonna take for you to leave Sunset Village, Yamazaki?"
Botan: "Do I really have to spell it out? Fuck, you’re even dumber than I remember."
Botan: "Pfft. Don’t make me beat sense into you again, Hayashi."
[Confessing his feelings to Yuuto and the protagonist.]
Botan: "I didn’t really care if our parents banned us from being around you. I still wanted to be your friend."
Botan: "Then I saw how you latched onto Yamazaki and started to feel replaced—even though you were justified in that."
Botan: "You’re missing the point! How could you just move on like we never existed? Did we mean nothing to you!?"
Botan: "Whatever. Guess we broke each other's hearts without realizing it."
Rento is the protagonist's step-father. He is ignorant and sometimes misogynistic... but he has a good heart. Just a serious boomer. Even though he has trouble showing it, he really loves his step children.
[This role has 53 lines.]
[Please only read Rento's lines. I left some of Mizuki's lines for context.]
Rento: "Your mother is speaking to you, girl."
Rento: "{i}Ahem!{/i}"
Mizuki: "What's wrong, honey?"
Rento: "Something needs to be done about that child's hair."
Rento: "Oh, please. You know what I'm talking about: it's like a bird’s nest!"
Mizuki: "Then why don't you brush it for her for once in your life?"
Rento: "Because I’m a man—and that’s a woman’s job."
Rento: "Besides, she's {i}your{/i} daughter."
Mizuki: "Hinako, your step-father is a prime example of how a {i}boy{/i} looks and acts."
Rento: "Hold your tongue, Mizuki!"
Having had enough, Hinako pushed away from the table, stood, and sprinted for the front door.
Rento: "Oh, don't be so dramatic."
Rento: "Relax. I didn't say I wouldn't go after her."
[Please only read Rento's lines. I left some of Ichiro's lines for context.]
Ichiro: "What the hell are {i}you{/i} doing here?"
Rento: "Uh, I work here. What are you doing here, son?"
Ichiro: "Since when was I ever that!?"
Rento: "Sometimes I think—"
Rento: "W-What? What on earth are you talking about?"
All the blood drains from his face. It's like he's seen a ghost.
Rento: "I… have no idea what you mean."
Rento: "Ichiro, calm down—or I'll have to escort you out."
Rento: "I need assistance here! Could someone please escort my son out?"
Mizuki is the mother of the protagonist. After her daughter goes missing, Mizuki struggles to keep living.
[Please only read Mizuki's lines.]
I rush downstairs, only to find my mother sobbing on our couch.
Ichiro: "Mom, are you okay?"
Mizuki: "Oh, Ichiro..."
Mizuki: "Everything's fine, darling.”
Mizuki: "*Sniffle* Why are you up so early today?"
Ichiro: "Mom..."
Mizuki: "Yes, dear?"
Ichiro: "It's my first day of school... Did you forget?"
Mizuki: "Apparently!"
I sigh, then change the subject.
Ichiro: "...What was that loud noise earlier?"
Mizuki: "Wha—"
Mizuki: "Oh! That was Rento. He just swung by to grab the rest of his things. "
Mizuki: "Why don't you go make yourself some breakfast?"
Ichiro: "Alright—but take it easy, okay?"
Mizuki: "There's nothing to worry about, Ichi."
[Please only read Mizuki's lines. Context: Takes place during family dinner.]
Rento: "Ahem!"
Mizuki: "What's wrong, honey?"
Rento: "Something needs to be done about that child's hair."
Mizuki: "Not this again..."
Rento: "Oh, please. You know what I'm talking about: it's like a bird’s nest!"
Mizuki: "Then why don't you brush it for her for once in your life?"
Rento: "Because I’m a man—and that’s a woman’s job."
Rento: "Besides, she's your daughter."
Mizuki: "Hinako, your step-father is a prime example of how a boy looks and acts."
Rento: "Hold your tongue, Mizuki!"
Having had enough, Hinako pushed away from the table, stood, and sprinted for the front door.
Mizuki: "Hinako!"
Rento: "Oh, don't be so dramatic."
Mizuki: "How can you be this insensitive!?"
Hinako is a little girl. Her best friend is missing, and it's turned her life upside down.
[Context: Hinako followed a voice into the woods that sounded an awful lot like her missing best friend. It lead to a creepy glade.]
Hinako: "W-What is this place...?"
Hinako: "This isn’t funny, Yasu!"
Hinako: "Y-Yasu, I’m scared!"
Hinako: "Where are you!?"
