Story Script
Under the enchanting company of the resplendent moon and stars, you and Vyn finally arrive home.
After resting in the living room for a minute, you take out a piece of paper and wave it at Vyn.
You: Shall we start the mini-game now?
Vyn: Sure.
You: Today's the third day, so we don't need to move any cells. We just need to input this code into the redemption box.
He leans closer, frowning slightly at the jumbled code.
Vyn: You seem to be in a dilemma...
You: There's a general range that you can guess with the other symbols. But the jumbled code is obviously designed to keep us guessing.
You: I have every reason to suspect that the task instructions are strange.
With that said, you still input the jumbled code in the redemption box.
You: I wonder what the Easter Egg task will be.
Vyn: Let us look together.
After tapping the "Redeem" button, a dialog box pops up.
"Congratulations on making it two days! Accept the Easter Egg task, and keep up the excellent work!"
You: ...
A drumbeat sounds after you tap the screen, followed by a list of tasks due today.
Vyn: "Surprise each other without spending a single cent"?
Vyn repeats the instruction in a low voice, thinking about something.
You: What a coincidence.
You: Haven't you already completed this task!?
Vyn: What do you mean?
You: You met all the conditions by picking me up after work, right?
You: You gave me a surprise without spending money.
Vyn: But...
Vyn: Is that enough? That surprise feels somewhat lacking...
Vyn pauses for a moment, contemplating how to express his thoughts.
Vyn: Are you not afraid that you will spoil me by being too easily satisfied?
You: No way!
You stand up and earnestly look at Vyn.
You: I should be the one saying that.
You: Even without this task instruction, you create surprises for me in our daily lives.
You: So I'm the one being spoiled.
Your heart is filled with emotions that you don't know how to resolve, so you end up hugging Vyn.
He gently pats your back. It is loving and heartwarming, which makes you feel reassured.
Vyn: ...
You: Whenever you sigh, you look like a helpless parent.
Upon hearing this, Vyn can't help but laugh.
Vyn: You are right. Sometimes, I am indisputable.
You: Eh?
Vyn: You can be more greedy... and ask for more.
You: But I'm already very content!
You: Well, the only thing I'm not satisfied with is that your task is done, but mine isn't...
You: I'm gonna need some more time to think it over.
Vyn: I am looking forward to seeing what kind of surprise you come up with.
You: You're making me nervous. How about... you give me a hint... What do you want?
Vyn: How can I give you the answer when you want it to be a surprise? That is cheating.
You: Gimme something! How can it be cheating when we're a couple...?
Vyn: Cheating is no good, but I accept bribery.
Vyn smiles, like a content kitten approaching its master with a smirk.
...
The curtains flutter in the night wind, allowing the moonlight to slip in and listen to the couple's conversation.
As for how much it heard, only the silver radiance will know.
