A year has flown by, and another autumn arrives.

With stars in their eyes and passion in their embrace, the couple commit to their promise, and look forward to many more sweet days ahead.

Part 1: Themis Job System

The "Themis Job System" section of the event requires the player to handle cases (debates) divided into morning and afternoon cases. The player will need to clear three randomized cases from the case list, then wait two hours real time before viewing a lunch break story. Then three more cases will be available for the afternoon followed by another two hours of real time wait and a leaving-work story. Wait times may be bypassed at a cost of S-Chip x120 each.

Note that day 3 and 7 of the event will be days off. All debates have a difficulty of 18051 recommended power; only Vyn cards may be used for these debates.

Part 2: Drawing Lots (Main Event Story)

Example of love ladder movement

After reviewing a full day's cases and leaving work, play the "Love Ladder" couple's minigame with Vyn by choosing a starting location on the grid and playing the resulting activity together with him. Choose one of the numbers at the top to start the indicator; it will take every possible "rung" on the ladder while moving downward until it eventually lands on an icon at the bottom, and that icon's activity will play.

Beginning of the Dream (Intro)

Spoken Love

Between Light and Shadow

The Wanted Answer

Secret of Omurice

Create New Memories

Complete Honesty

Part 3: Cleaning Up (Hidden Object Game)

Day 1 Hidden Object game

After playing the minigame, a hidden object game will commence to clean up the living room before sleeping. Find all of the objects shown in the upper right section of the screen to complete the stage. The "Hint" button may be used to reveal any difficult-to-find objects.

Part 4: Rest

The next day's gameplay will be available at 8 AM (UTC+9) the following day; the event will go into "Resting" mode until that time, regardless of the time the current day ended.

Note that a short, un-subtitled audio clip in your chosen voiceover language will play when rest begins. This clip is available in all of the available voice languages. Players who are interested in these clips should turn up their device volume before resting as they are not repeated.

Daily scripts

Day 1

Lunch break

Today, Vyn invited you out to a simple lunch, and you arrive at the restaurant after your lunch break starts.

Vyn: You are here.

Vyn stands up to pull the chair out for you. After sitting down, he hands you the tablet on the table.

Vyn: I already ordered. See if you want to order anything else.

You briefly scan over the dishes and realize it's everything you want to eat.

You: Nope, they're all my favorites.

Vyn timed everything perfectly—shortly after you sit down, the dishes arrive at the table.

You: The food looks delicious!

Amidst the gentle clanking of cups and plates, you and Vyn concentrate on enjoying the delectable food instead of chatting.

Your exhaustion from work has been relieved by this lunch break.

Leaving work

Knowing that someone is waiting, the road home seems shorter.

Pushing open the door, Vyn is already waiting for you with a cup of hot tea.

Vyn: Welcome home. You have had a long day.

You sit down on the sofa and take a sip of tea, as the fatigue fades from your body.

Both your body and mind are able to relax with Vyn right there beside you.

You: You too. You even made me tea after getting off work yourself.

Vyn: Waiting for you to get off work is relaxing for me.

After chatting with Vyn for a while and having some dessert, you take out the grid you had drawn before.

You: Enough rest. Time for the exciting part of the day.

You: Let's start the first day's task!

Vyn: Seeing you so excited, I am also looking forward to it.

You: Yeah! If it weren't for... We would have started playing yesterday...

Vyn looks at you, with a deep smile in his eyes.

Vyn: Let us begin.

[Draw Lots]

Sleep

After washing up, you and Vyn lean against the bed and start to read.

The light is warm, and the night is quiet.

Day 2

Lunch break

As you type the final word, your work in the morning has come to an end.

Massaging your temples to ease the pain, you hear someone call out to you.

Colleague A: Miss [Player], this is your coffee. I saw it when I was getting my takeout, so I brought it for you.

You: Huh? But I didn't order coffee. Did the cafe mess up the order...?

Colleague A: It's got your name on it though.

You: Huh?

Unconvinced, you take the coffee and find it to be your favorite flavor, with just the right amount of sugar.

Then, you look at who ordered it for you—it's just as you thought.

You: (How did Vyn know I was tired...?)

His concern always comes at the right time, right when you need it. You can't help but smile.

Leaving work

You: Whew... finally done.

You stretch, sorting out your things as you prepare to get off work. Only then do you realize it is pouring outside.

The lights are bright inside, but the wind is howling outside in the dark.

You: (Oh no... I didn't check the weather forecast today and forgot my umbrella...)

Unfortunately, there are few people left at the firm...

You: (I have no choice—I won't be able to get a taxi in this heavy rain. I'll have to run to the subway station...)

With this in mind, you head to the door.

However, looking at how hard the rain is coming down, your determination starts to waver.

You: (The rain's coming down hard...)

???: I made it...

A familiar voice amidst the rain sounds almost ethereal, making you question whether it is a hallucination.

The person walking towards you with an umbrella is Vyn.

You: Vyn!?

Vyn: I remembered you did not have an umbrella, so I immediately brought one over.

You: Ah...

You inadvertently look down at your phone, only to find that you had missed a dozen calls from Vyn.

Looking at the person panting before your eyes, your irritable mood caused by the rain calms instantly.

You: (It was because I didn't pick up that Vyn was afraid that he'd miss me, so he came in such a hurry...)

You: Sorry, I was working, so I put my phone on silent. That's why I missed your calls.

He folds his umbrella as he stands a short distance away, probably afraid to splash you with water.

Vyn: No worries. Fortunately, I made it in time.

Vyn is still in his work attire, which means he came straight from the psychology center.

His shoulders are wet from the rain, probably from walking so fast. Beads of water fall down from the silver strands of hair above his forehead, which could be sweat or rain.

Despite the roaring thunder and flashing lightning behind him, there is something extremely safe about him standing here, preventing the wind and rain from reaching you.

You: Let's go home.

You take his hand and open the umbrella that still has Vyn's residual heat.

The wind and rain are still raging, but the umbrella that can stop it all is in your hand.

Back at home, Vyn immediately takes a hot shower and changes into clean clothes, at your insistence.

Pulling him onto the sofa, you hand him a freshly-brewed ginger tea.

You: From now on, I'll check the weather forecast every day so what happened today won't happen again.

Vyn's hair is still warm and damp because it had just been blown dry.

He leans lazily on your shoulder, so close that you can smell the ginger tea.

Vyn: No need to go through all that...

Despite his hair being softer, he twists a strand of your hair and rubs it between his fingers.

Vyn: I am happy to pick you up from work on rainy days.

Vyn: All I want is a small reward in return.

Your hair is twirled around his fingertips, intertwining deeply before you have a chance to check if they have become knots.

After some time, Vyn reluctantly lets go of you.

His damp hair brushes against the back of your hand, causing a lingering tremble.

Vyn: ...

Vyn: Shall we play the mini-game now?

When the loving atmosphere fades like a receding tide, Vyn's eyes are clear, and only his cheeks are slightly flushed.

You: ...Yeah.

Vyn: Let us see our task for the day.

[Draw Lots]

Sleep

Outside the window, the gentle whisper of drizzling rain and the soft caress of the wind can be heard.

The soothing music of nature makes you sleepy as you take Vyn's hand and close your eyes.
