## Story

It's the middle of the night, and three different groups are riding to the Bippity Bop Gala in carriages - the royal families of the Pastel Kingdom and Plaid Kingdom, and a few members of the Cursed Princess Club. As they do, Aurelia is staring at The Diary of Lilyth, which Prez specifically entrusted her to keep, and which has been the cause of her insomnia for weeks. She tells herself to open it so that she can finally sleep again, but slams it shut when she sees the harsh words on the first page. She decides to start on the next page, which looks calmer.

The diary begins with Leelathae apologizing for her outburst on the first page, and explaining that the diary was given to her so that she could practice writing in English. She begins writing by telling the story of the island she grew up on, the Braided Island. As she explains, the island's name comes from a crest found on the island showing a girl with three fishtails intertwined like a braid. A myth was formed about the girl: long ago, she had lived on the island, but was lured to the other side of the sea. Years later, she returned, crying tears of sorrow and regret. Many people on the island believed that they had been created from her tears. So, in her memory, they decided to never leave, and if any of them *did* leave, they could never return to the island again - a rule which remained unbroken until Leelathae.

On the day of the island's Ceramics Festival, a 20-year-old Leelathae was going out to feed stray vermin on the island. Meanwhile, the then-Prince Jack of the Pastel Kingdom was on a mission to return a relic. However, he had taken a wrong turn, and was getting close to the Braided Island. As he was looking out, he fell off of his boat, was sucked through a crack in the rocks, and washed up on the island's shore. While Leelathae was feeding the vermin, she saw Jack, and realized he was an outsider from the other side of the ocean. On the Braided Island, most myths described the people across the ocean as "a people of immense evil, sorcery, and sin". However, Jack started picking up her leaf buns, making her wonder if he was actually kind. He then fell over and sprained his ankle, causing her to take him back to her home so he could rest.

The two were unable to communicate: Jack told her his name, and Leelathae tried to tell him hers, but he interpreted it as "Lilyth". Her parents allowed him to stay until his ankle healed, and they had fun trying to learn about the other. The rest of the islanders soon met Jack, and as his ankle started to heal, Leelathae took him to her favorite spot on the island, where the birds and flowers gathered. When Jack was there, though, Leelathae thought the birds and flowers were gathering around him, and when she looked into his eyes, she said it "was like looking through the vast, open world beyond the ocean".

The day Jack's ankle finally healed, Leelathae's father told her that he needed to leave the island tomorrow, as they didn't mingle with outsiders. However, she was starting to become reluctant, and asked her father "...what if the thing that lured the girl with the braided fishtails across the ocean was a person who she loved?" The next day, it was time for Jack to leave. As he got onto the boat, Leelathae didn't want to say goodbye - so, she jumped onto the boat from the island shore to leave with him. As they left, the two stared at each other in fear and excitement, having just done "a terribly stupid thing".
