Henri

Henri is first encountered by Luna when she visits a town and spots him by chance.

He is described as having outstanding looks, intellect, and overall abilities, yet with a slightly absent‑minded or airheaded side that makes him more approachable.

He belongs to a family of white witches and carries the quiet mystique of that heritage.

At the time of his first appearance in the story, he is 16 years old.

Henri is outwardly perfect: handsome, smart, and highly capable.

Despite this, he has moments of endearing clumsiness or obliviousness, which soften his otherwise flawless image.

His nature is gentle and unassuming, which contrasts with the extraordinary events that eventually surround him.

He is not fully aware of the magical consequences affecting him at first, making him more of an unwitting victim than an active instigator.

Henri is born into a family of white witches, suggesting a background steeped in benevolent or healing magic.

This heritage makes him more susceptible to magical phenomena, including the unusual bond formed with the painting Luna creates.

The white witch lineage also hints that he has the potential for magical ability or spiritual sensitivity.

However, in this episode of his life, he is primarily portrayed through how magic acts upon him rather than how he uses it.

Luna falls in love with Henri at first sight when she visits his town.

Captivated by his beauty and presence, she decides to capture him in a drawing.

Her admiration is so intense that she pours her full effort and emotion into the artwork.

This emotional and magical intensity becomes the trigger for the supernatural event that links Henri and his painted self.

Over time, Henri’s interactions with Luna move from unknowing victimhood to genuine curiosity and affection.

Once his memories return, he becomes interested in her and attempts to deepen their connection, even as that bond proves dangerous to his health.

After seeing Henri, Luna creates a portrait of him with all her skill and passion.

The result is a masterpiece so powerful that Henri’s soul becomes partially lodged in the painting.

This painted Henri comes to life under the night sky, and he dances with Luna.

They share time together and build a quiet, intimate bond, all while he exists in this art-born, spiritual form.

However, this miracle has a price.

The more the painted Henri interacts with Luna, the more the real Henri’s charm, vitality, and life force are drained from his physical body.

As Henri’s soul continues to be drawn into the painting, his real body grows thin, exhausted, and visibly worn out.

The boy who once seemed perfect and radiant becomes frail and weakened.

Luna notices what is happening and is struck with deep guilt over his condition.

She realizes that her idealized love, given form through magic, is literally stealing his life away.

Determined to save him, Luna returns Henri’s soul from the painting back to his real body.

This act ends the immediate crisis, but does not erase the emotional consequences of what they shared.

After his soul is restored, the memories of his time as a painted being resurface within Henri.

He recalls the nighttime dances and quiet conversations with Luna, now as real memories rather than a dream.

These recollections spark genuine curiosity and interest in Luna herself.

No longer just a distant admirer, she becomes someone meaningful to him, someone he wants to know better.

They begin to deepen their relationship and continue to interact.

Yet every time Henri reconnects with the painting form and shares time with Luna that way, his physical body once again grows weaker and more fragile.

Realizing this vicious cycle cannot continue, Luna makes a painful decision.

To protect Henri’s life, she erases all of his memories related to her and their supernatural encounters.

Through this act, their bond is severed for his sake, leaving Henri alive but unaware of the girl who once danced with his soul under the night sky.
