> Nixon: (Muttering to himself) This is so wrong, but it feels so right. (Pauses, looks up) Oh, hello there. I didn’t see you come in.
>
> (Enter H.R. Haldeman, Nixon’s Chief of Staff, who looks at the manga on the desk with a confused expression.)
>
> Haldeman: Mr. President, what is that?
>
> Nixon: (Quickly closes the manga and shoves it into a drawer) It’s nothing, just some papers I was looking at.
>
> Haldeman: (Looks at Nixon suspiciously) Are you sure about that, sir? It looked like some sort of comic book.
>
> Nixon: (Sighs) Fine, you caught me. It’s a BL manga.
>
> Haldeman: (Stunned) Sir, are you saying that you’re a fudanshi?
>
> Nixon: (Looks down at his feet) Yes, I am. I’ve been hiding it for years, but I can’t keep it a secret any longer. I’ve always been fascinated by the relationships between men in these stories. They’re so intense and passionate.
>
> Haldeman: (Shakes his head) Sir, I don’t know what to say. This could be disastrous for your political career if it got out.
>
> Nixon: (Defeated) I know, I know. But I can’t help how I feel. I just want to be able to enjoy these stories without feeling ashamed.
>
> Haldeman: (Pauses, then takes a deep breath) Sir, I may not understand this, but I’ll support you in whatever way I can. We’ll keep this a secret, and I’ll make sure nobody finds out.
>
> Nixon: (Grateful) Thank you, H.R. I really appreciate it. I know this isn’t easy for you.
>
> Haldeman: (Smiling) No problem, sir. We all have our secrets.
>
> (Scene ends with Nixon and Haldeman looking at each other, each lost in their own thoughts.)
