A breeze blows through the moonlit night, and petals fall to the ground. The male and female leads in the movie embrace each other under the tree and shed tears of joy.

The story nears its end by the time they start to exchange presents. This intimate scene is touching upon what you've been most worried about recently.

You: (What kind of birthday present should I get Artem this year?)

You can't help but space out, only to hear Artem's voice sound next to you.

Artem: What's on your mind? You didn't even realize the movie was over.

You: ...

You: I—I'm just going over the movie's plot...

Before you can finish the excuse you just made up, your phone starts to ring.

The screen shows Celestine's name. You feel delighted, then instinctively look back at Artem. After some consideration, you decide to get up and walk over to the side to answer the phone.

He seems to have noticed that you're hiding something, and his searching gaze trails after you. You try to be as inconspicuous as possible and listen intently to Celestine as she speaks.

Call script

Celestine Taylor: Hey, [Player], it's me. Sorry, I just saw your message.

Celestine Taylor: You're really conflicted as to what birthday present to give him, right?

You: That's right, Celestine.

You lower your voice as you look at Artem, afraid that he'll hear that you're preparing a birthday present for him.

Celestine Taylor: Hmm... Lemme think... Right. You can try what I've tried before.

Celestine Taylor: I took Jeremy to play an interactive couple game. It felt pretty fun, and it might give you some inspiration for gifts.

Celestine Taylor: It might even push your relationship to the next level. Hehe...

A soft laugh comes through the phone, and you hear how Celestine's teasing tone.

You: That sounds amazing... Which game is it?

Celestine Taylor: What was it called again...? Hold on. I'll go look for the link and send it to you later.

You: Thanks.

After hanging up, you return to the sofa and sit down.

Artem looks at you with curiosity, as if stopping himself from saying something. You wave your phone at him.

You: Celestine called.

Artem: Ah, Celestine... What are you two up to? It looked pretty secretive.

You: You'll know soon enough!

Celestine sends the link to the website a while later.

After clicking it, it jumps straight to the interface for the interactive couple game. You move your phone to view it with Artem.

You: Look, here it is. It's an interactive couple game that Celestine recommended.

You: It's called "Moments of Romance." I heard it's been really popular for a long time.

Artem reads the promotional material and the details on the screen, then reads it out loud as if he finds it interesting.

Artem: "A new stage calls for forming new bonds"?

Artem: New bonds? That's a unique way of saying things.

You: I think so too! Let me check out how this works.

You: "Pick a starting location every day, and the crisscrossing lines will randomly lead to an ending."

You: "The other person will conduct interactions according to the signs and instructions at the ending. There are 6 choices in total."

You: "The current event will give you a special interaction on the fourth day." It sounds pretty fun. What do you think?

Unable to suppress your curiosity, you happily look at Artem.

Artem: I'm really interested too. Why don't we try it out together?

You: I'd like that!

You and Artem register new accounts according to the instructions, then draw a twisting and turning map together.

You also draw the random symbols you were allotted after registering at the end of the lines.

You: I wonder what kind of interactions these symbols mean. Let's choose one...

Before you can finish, Artem covers the map, a warm smile in his gaze.

Artem: When I said we could try it out together, I didn't mean right now.

You: Huh? Then...

You blink and look at Artem in confusion, only to see him approaching you slowly. He then takes you in his arms.

You don't quite react in time and can only smell the faint scent of cedar before your body is lifted into the air.

Artem is suddenly carrying you for some reason. You quickly cling to his body, looking up at him shyly.

You: Artem?

He lowers his gaze slightly to look at you. His breath, so close to you, brushes across your neck and gradually ignites an intimate flame in your heart.

Artem: Seems like you have been so engrossed in the game, that you didn't realize how late it is.

You: Well...

Artem walks forward as he says this, showing no signs of fatigue as he carries you.

Artem: Time for bed.

The glittering moonlight shines upon the ground and a faint scent of flowers drifts in as the long curtains dance in the wind.

Your intimate and loving figures sway with the night, sinking into sweet slumber.

The night is long and satisfying.
