Lilith: Bunny Moon/Memory

## Chapter 1: Unexpected Surprise

Narration
Sunday. Home alone. The doorbell rang.
You opened the door and there was nobody.
Player Selection
▸ Some sort of prank?
Player
Some sort of prank?
Narration
A pair of delicate hands shot out of nowhere and held the door you were trying to close.
A girl appeared before you. She looked familiar.
Lilith
Hey, hello! I'm Lilith.
What's that look supposed to mean? Scared?
Narration
Appearing right in front of your home, was Lilith, the queen.
Player Selection
▸ For real? Are you really the queen?
Player
For real? Are you really the queen?
Lilith
Yes, I'm Lilith. Don't you believe your own eyes?
Narration
The girl came in a cute dress, but didn't seem too happy.
But those lovely eyes were glancing at you. The ghost of a smile lingered beneath that facade.
Lilith
OK, I'm not really angry.
I'm here to give you a surprise.
Player Selection
▸ A surprise? From the queen?
Player
A surprise? From the queen?
Lilith
Yeah... You will know later.
▸ I don't think I need any surprises.
Player
I don't think I need any surprises.
Lilith
Hold it. Let me finish. OK?
Lilith
Hey, would you like to spend the day together with me?
Player Selection
▸ Yes (Why is there only one option?)
Player
I do. (Where are my other dialogue options?)
Lilith
You are wondering where are your other dialogue options, right? You have none because I refuse to let you refuse.
OK, joking.
I bring presents. Look!
Narration
Lilith opened her purse. A cute bunny hopped out of it and landed in your arms.
Lilith
Even the bunny loves you.
It's going to be an unforgettable day.

## Chapter 2: Dessert Guide

Narration
You showed Lilith inside. She sat in the sofa, hugging the bunny, looking at you with anticipation.
Lilith
What's your plan for the afternoon? How about afternoon tea together?
I make some of the best tea. How about you go prepare desserts?
Player Selection
▸ But I don't like desserts.
Player
But I don't like desserts.
Lilith
Is that so...? But tea alone is a bit bitter. Better have some dessert.
Lilith
Oh! We can make desserts together. Reduced sugar, if you don't like it too sweet.
▸ I don't have desserts here right now.
Player
I don't have desserts here right now.
Lilith
What a pity... Or, we can make our own desserts, together?
Player Selection
▸ But I'm running out of ingredients, plus...
Player
But I'm running out of ingredients, plus...
Lilith
No worries! I brought ingredients!
Narration
Lilith fumbled in her purse, and took out dessert ingredients casually.
You're shocked by the sheer capacity of her purse. She had enough ingredients to cover the entire tabletop.
Lilith
OK. That's good enough. Let's start!
So... Where do we start, exactly?
Player Selection
▸ You don't know how to make desserts?
Player
You don't know how to make desserts?
Lilith
I didn't even have much chance to eat desserts. As to making it...
But! We can figure it out on the fly!
▸ I don't know anything about it, either.
Player
I don't know anything about it, either.
Lilith
Was expecting to learn a thing or two from you. But it's OK. We can figure it out on the fly.
Narration
Her majesty was now wearing an apron, with her phone in one hand and a mixer in another, trying hard to follow instructions.
Lilith
Eggs... Separate white and yolk... Beat...
Don't just watch. I won't share if you don't help.
Narration
The queen, who is always perfect, didn't want to admit her clumsiness. She's taking great pains to follow those instructions.
Lilith
It says add lemon juice before sugar. But sugar is already in. What should I do?
Player Selection
▸ Just...get on with it.
Player
Just...get on with it.
Lilith
Cheese. Cheese. Where did I put my Cheese? Did you see it?
Player Selection
▸ I'll get it... Right next to the mixer.
Player
I'll get it... Right next to the mixer.
Lilith
Would you like some cinnamon in the cheese? I like that smell.
Player Selection
As long as you're happy.
Player
As long as you're happy.
Lilith
Oh right. Question. Does cheese mix with cinnamon?
Player Selection
...I guess it should?
Player
...I guess it should?
Narration
Lilith knocked over the bowl of beaten eggs in the heat of the moment. She yelped and tried to clean up.
The queen, the personification of elegance, was panicking. A rare scene.
Lilith
Stop laughing. Put the mold in the oven and we're done!
Player Selection
▸ I don't think I have an oven here...
Player
I don't think I have an oven here...
Narration
Lilith froze, then turned around slowly, looking utterly astonished.
Lilith
No oven? Why didn't you say that?
Player Selection
▸ You didn't ask.
Player
You didn't ask.
▸ You cut me off...
Player
You cut me off...
Lilith
I don't blame you. Alright. It's not too late yet.
Narration
Lilith dialed a number on her phone. Minutes later, your doorbell rang.
The courier guy was lugging a brand-new oven. You pinched your own face to make sure this is not a dream.
Lilith was smiling, proudly.
Lilith
Would have them here sooner if you told me in the beginning.
Just an oven, not a big deal. Told you it's going to be an unforgettable day.
Narration
You two put the dessert into the new oven. Lilith set the timer, cleaned up the kitchen, took off the apron and stretched.
Lilith
Job done! Now we just wait.
Narration
A pleasant smell from the oven permeated the room. It's starting to smell like home, sweet home.

## Chapter 3: Wish Under Moonlight

Lilith
Surprise. Our first ever donuts taste pretty good, right?
Narration
Donuts looked surprisingly good indeed. You took a bite. A little bit burned, but not a big deal given the heavenly smell.
Player Selection
▸ All thanks to me.
Player
All thanks to me.
Lilith
Not fair. I did a lot, too. At the very least, I contributed the idea of making donuts.
Still, thank you a bunch.
▸ Thank you for making these great donuts.
Player
Thank you for making these great donuts.
Lilith
You're welcome. Also thank you, for helping me out.
Lilith
You two eradicated all donuts.

Narration
The moon crawled up. Lilith stared at it, as if lost in thought.
Lilith
It's a full moon... A great time for making a wish, you know.
Player Selection
▸ You believe in wishing to the full moon?
Player
You believe in wishing to the full moon?
Lilith
Yes... It's a legend of long history in Ninir. My family believes in it.
▸ Really? Shall we make a wish together?
Player
Really? Shall we make a wish together?
Lilith
Sure. But we have to wait till the moon rises to its apex.
Lilith
When I was young, my parents, brother, and me, used watch the moon together on the balcony. [In-game text reads "used watch the moon" instead of "used to watch the moon"]
My parents would kiss me, saying "We wish Lilith grow up into the kindest, loveliest, and the most beautiful girl in Ninir." [In-game text reads "Lilith grow up" instead of "Lilith will grow up"]
And my brother would be quick to follow: "Sure thing. Lilith is already the loveliest."
Player Selection
▸ A happy family.
Player
A happy family.
Lilith
Yes. Wherever I am, I can always depend on them.
▸ Really?
Player
Really?
Lilith
Of course. Isn't that what families are for? Your most dependable support, always.
Lilith
But I can't stay home these days. and don't see my parents often...
Player Selection
▸ Do you feel lonely?
Player
Do you feel lonely?
Lilith
Lonely? A little bit, yes. But I know you guys love me, so I'm happy every day.
Narration
The full moon hung high. You and Lilith watched on the balcony.
Lilith
Ah, here's a riddle for you.
Something appears at the same time every day, and disappears at the same time.
Wherever you are and whenever it is, even if you are all alone, it expels the loneliness of the night. What is it?
Player Selection
▸ ...The moon?
Player
...The moon?
Lilith
OK, that one was too easy.
▸ I have no idea.
Player
I have no idea.
Lilith
Haha! We were talking about it just now.
Narration
Lilith laughed and pointed to the sky.
Lilith
Yes, the moon.
Narration
It was a cloudless night. You and Lilith basked in the bright moon.
The moon has always been there, since the beginning of time. The united, the separated, it shines upon, and consoles every soul.
It sees all the joy and sadness in the world.
Lilith
Time to make a wish!
Narration
Lilith closed her eyes, and mumbled to the moon.
Player Selection
▸ What's your wish?
Player
What's your wish?
Lilith
You...will know soon enough.
▸ I want to make a wish, too.
Player
I want to make a wish, too.
Lilith
Close your eyes then.
[*Screen fades to black*]

Lilith
May you never be lonely.

## Chapter 4: Her Moonlight

Narration
"May you never be lonely."
The advert's cover image features the queen's writing.
A night at Ninir, streets bustling with people as always.
Adverts of the latest fashion dominated large screens at shopping centers.
Couples, families, and lonely pedestrians, they all stopped for the advert.
The tagline appeared in gilded letters. Lilith the queen was smiling and beckoning to the audience, as if inviting them over.
"Augmented reality game, developed in partnership with Queen Lilith."
"Put on your AR goggles and see Lilith in real life, for an unforgettable day with you."
"According to the queen, this game is designed for migrant workers, who will be less lonely with the queen by their side."
Doorbells rang everywhere, as people receive their AR goggles. Many were enjoying the unforgettable day with the queen.
Lilith closed her eyes as the full moon reached its apex, saying that sincere blessing.
"May you never be lonely."
They were obsessed. What expelled the loneliness? The game? The moon? No, it's the queen's selfless love.
She blessed the land, and consoled all the lonely souls.
They cheered and wept for Lilith, a queen of a golden heart.
Beneath her gorgeous look was a kind heart. Her subjects loved her from the very depth of their souls.
Everyone believed that the queen would bring eternal happiness.
Lanterns over streets. Fireworks in the sky. All shops were playing music at the maximum volume.
Songs and cheers rose up to the infinite sky, almost startling the full moon.
Meanwhile, in reality, the full moon was watching over the world gently, in silence.
[*Screen fades to black, transitions to Starheaven Swan stage*]

Player Selection
▸ What's on your mind?
Player
What's on your mind?
Lilith
Nothing. Just stirred up some old memories.
▸ You look lonely.
Player
You look lonely.
Lilith
No. Just stirred up some old memories.
Lilith
I used to wish to the moon, for gifts, kisses, and genuine blessings.
But the moon doesn't fulfill. Whatever I want, I have to earn it.
What if the moon is sentient? What would it say, seeing me right now?
Player Selection
▸ The moon will be by your side forever.
Player
The moon will be by your side forever.
Lilith
By my side? I don't need useless companions.
▸ The moon will pity you.
Player
The moon will pity you.
Lilith
Pity? I don't need any useless pity.
▸ The moon will tell you nothing changes.
Player
The moon will tell you nothing changes.
Lilith
Nothing changes? I will prove that wrong.
Lilith
I will have all the love in the world. As long as I have that, I will never be lonely.
Listen. Hear the cheers faraway. They are chanting my name.
It's Lilith. The queen, one and only.
Narration
Lilith smiled, and started to hum a song. The tune sounded familiar, a song taught by Old Hendrill so long ago.
Against those cheers, the song felt so lonely.
Lilith, wearing the crown and moonlight, hummed over nd over again, as her shadow grew longer.

## Trivia

* In these memories, the player and Lilith bake donuts. The Rabbit and Starry Night event (where Lilith: Bunny Moon originates from) uses donuts as one of its event exclusive currencies.
