Story Script
You: Hey... did we make a wrong turn somewhere?
Following the guide, everyone arrives at the third themed zone—Wonderful Books.
The strange thing is that there are very few people at most of the attractions here. Everyone is crowded in front of a building that looks like a post office.
Marius: Come on, let's go take a look as well.
After getting closer, you discover a monitor outside the building door with the words "Musing Over You" on it.
The tourists crowding around the monitor are all holding a postcard-like piece of paper. They're all writing something on it.
You: What's going on?
You look around the crowd and spot a familiar face.
Before you can call out his name, he suddenly raises his head and looks straight at you.
Hugh Moss: Miss [Player].
You: Huey.
Hugh quickly moves through the crowd with his small body. He's still a child, after all.
He looks a lot taller compared to the last time you saw him. He's also more well-built than before.
However, the smile on his face disappears as he sees the four men behind you.
Hugh Moss: How come they're also here?
Marius chuckles to the side as he hears the question.
Marius: What? Are you disappointed?
Hugh Moss: Yes, a bit.
Marius: ...
He grabs a strand of Hugh's hair and lets out a "kind" smile.
Marius: That's all right. I am actually really excited to see you.
Ignoring Marius' childish behavior, you continue to observe Hugh closely.
You: Huey, you're back in Stellis?
After the Jasmine Kenders case, Hugh was brought to the capital to start a new life.
Hugh looks to be a lot happier. It might be because he's now away from his unhappy past.
Hugh Moss: I came back with my new father and mother. They heard about this theme park and brought me here.
This is when you notice a middle-aged couple looking your way from a few steps away.
Feeling your gaze, they smile politely, and you return a genuine smile.
You: I see. Is everything going well in the capital?
Hugh Moss: Yep. I've also made a few good friends.
You: Wow, Huey, you're amazing!
Hugh Moss: I came here because I heard that the postcards you write here can be mailed anywhere in the world.
Hugh Moss: I wanted to send a postcard to my good friends in the capital and you, Miss [Player].
Hugh Moss: And Mr. Luke, Mr. Vyn, Mr. Artem, and... Mr. Marius...
He used to address the NXX members by only their first names... Now that he's being so polite, it actually feels a little unnatural...
But this is his way of showing care and respect toward you.
He continues to stutter as he names a list of people that have helped him even slightly in the past.
Hugh Moss: And... mom... I want her to know that I'm doing really well now.
Your heart skips a beat when Hugh mentions Jasmine. But the feeling goes away as you see the smile on Huey's face.
Vyn: Yup. Your mom would definitely be happy for you.
Vyn, who has been quiet, finally speaks.
Vyn: You are a great kid. You kept your promise.
You: Promise? What promise?
Vyn winks mischievously.
Vyn: That is a secret between me and Huey.
Hugh Moss: Yup, it's a secret.
Their faces say, "I'm not telling you," and it makes you want to laugh.
However, Huey's adoptive parents are around, so it wouldn't be appropriate for you guys to continue taking up their time.
After talking for a little longer, Huey goes back to his parents.
Artem: Seems like Hugh is doing well.
You: Yeah, it's wonderful to know that he's doing well!
As Huey disappears into the crowd, the few of you continue your conversation from before.
Luke: Based on what Huey said, this place reenacts a part of the legend.
Vyn: Yes. The part it reenacts is probably the part where "Eve is afraid to reveal her feelings and writes them in the letters instead."
Vyn: Sending your feelings through an item and turning the unspoken words into postcards that can be sent to anyone anywhere.
Vyn: That is quite an interesting arrangement.
Marius: Even you've become familiar with the details of the Moonlit Eve Festival legend, Vyn. Seems like the theme park did a good job incorporating it.
As the conversation continues, the tense atmosphere relaxes once again.
Artem: Okay, we should go and write our postcards as well.
Artem: Maybe it really is capable of sending unspoken feelings... to the person they are intended for.
You: Ehh? Do you guys all know who you're going to be writing it to?
The four smile and nod in unison after hearing what you said.
You: Umm, what are those smiles all about...?
Memories start pouring into your mind as you look at the postcard in front of you.
The ink from your pen makes an expanded mark on the paper. You finally make up your mind.
You: (I'll send it to that person...)
