Castle: Her
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
We… finally met again.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I’m about… to meet you… Luna…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You sure are persistent.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human, do you like this castle?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Luna, I’m here…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
My toys, those that I like and dislike, seem to fancy you a lot.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
And my older sister left me for you too.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
They all left with you.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Why are you looking for me now?
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
“Amazing, well done!” Did you want to hear something like that?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I’ve said it, so why are you still here?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Because you haven’t told me… why you did all this.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Hm? Why did I capture all the Theresas? It’s simple-
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I hate them. They look just like me, but they are far luckier and freer than me.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
They can easily have what I want; they don’t know anything that I went through.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
And one of them even… With you, she even…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Forget it, it’s pointless to talk about this. Anyways, I’m very happy and free now. I can do whatever I want, and there’s always someone to accompany me.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
If you didn’t come looking for me, that would have been much better. Those few that you released were my favorite playmates.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
… Don’t lie anymore, you can’t deceive me.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Those Theresas told me that you’re still very lonely now… You took all the Theresas away because of me, right?
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Ahem… I know that I’ve interfered with the world’s progress many times, that’s why my body is becoming weaker…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
As I got closer to this place, that stabbing pain in my body felt increasingly prominent, and you definitely also…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Stop talking, human!
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Now, you also feel this pain, just like me. As we are both “singularities of the world”, I cannot accept your right to die for me.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human, don’t be conceited. I am a vampire, a detestable frightening vampire. Why would I sacrifice my life willingly?
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
That’s not all, I continue to hunt and feast on humans to sustain my life. For example, those few that you released.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Be it them or all the Theresas I’ve met in other bubble universes. You left your bite marks on their bodies, but you’ve never hurt them fatally.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
And as someone who controls the Ether Anchor, you’ve long lost your thirst for blood.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I know very well that you chose to attack. What are you going to make those Theresas do, with your vampiric abilities?
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Luna, there’s still time for everything. Whatever it is, I can share the burden with you.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
My sister, and that woman… They must have told you everything they knew.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I am a creation that defies all laws of nature, and after I was born, I hurt too many lives.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
But in reality, I don’t care about all that. I just wanted to get something… My wish…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I don’t care about the universe! As long as I can fulfill my wish, they can disintegrate for all I care. I only care about…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
So, you can keep your self-proclaimed kindness and get out of here quickly. That’ll be best for us both.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
This concerns the both of us, I definitely won’t leave you alone. No matter what happens, I’ll face it together with you.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Both of us? A vampire only cares about herself. You and all those Theresas are merely toys to me.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
But it’s fine if you want to stay, I will get rid of all the Theresas now. You can witness that self-absorbed Kongming vanish.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You won’t… I’ve said it before, Luna, you cannot deceive me. You don’t want to do that at all.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
… Is that so?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Admit it, we are the same. We’ve been anticipating our reunion. You can hear it too, right?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Even though our bodies have weakened so much, our hearts are beating heavily.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human, you’re really good at saying things that you shouldn’t say. If you say that, you’ll…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
… Make me waver in my painstakingly gotten determination.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
So, come and hold my hand.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Release the remaining Theresas, and I won’t let you make the choice alone.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human, you can’t possibly think that we still have a choice, can you?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
!!!
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I abruptly fell into terrifying darkness. An agonizing pain started from my chest and quickly spread across my entire body.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human… your condition is deteriorating rapidly…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
If you didn’t come looking for me, perhaps we wouldn’t be in so much pain, but now…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Unless you resolve to act, everything… will be too late… I must vanquish all the ■■■, and you must make your choice right away…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I… I won’t give up, you… don’t need to do this either.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I suddenly feel that a so-called “choice” is… never made out of our own volition.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
If you really want to fulfill my wish, then…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I felt her coming closer to me, her warmth against my ear, as she spoke those gentle yet brutal words.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human, kill me. That would be the greatest gift you can give to me.
💬
Is this really all we can do? Luna…
💬
I’m already standing here, I refuse to let you decide our future alone.
< If player choose “Is this really all we can do? Luna…” >
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Is this really all we can do? Luna…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
In a sea of blackness, I saw nothing, and gradually, heard nothing-as if the darkness seized my limbs, pulling me into an even deeper abyss.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Ugh… I can’t break free. No, now, I must…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I sought to grasp onto something to stop my descent, so I strained with all my strength to feel the changes around me. But all I fumbled for was the chilling weapon at my waist…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
What… How can this be…? There must be something else nearby…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Kallen’s gun had been discreetly placed by my waist, harboring that fatal bullet.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Someone has taken hold of my hand, sending warmth and tenderness kin to that summer night in my memories. I should have realized sooner…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Actually, she had never changed.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Now, she was just as fragile as me, in pain and tormented. My thoughts came to a stop and my senses dulled, to the point that I only realized when she was trembling as she helped me pull the trigger-
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I was really going to lose her.
💬
Pull the trigger.
💬
No! I won’t accept it!
< Story choice has no effect on the story. >
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I don’t care about the laws of the universe. I only know that, this time, I will save you!
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I did not pull the trigger, yet a tender hand took hold of the gun in my stead.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You can’t do that, human. You don’t have the right to reject.
Allow me to be reckless once more. You must live for a long time. Only then, can you always, always remember me.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Unknown
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Bang!
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
The gunshot resounded loudly and pierced through the chaotic darkness before my eyes, changing it to a devastating scarlet red.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
!!!
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Why? Luna… What have I done?
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human… You only fulfilled my wish… Now, you’re… safe…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
No, we’re going to Hyperion, we’re leaving this place.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
There are medical provisions on the battleship. Your injuries can be treated. You’ll be fine, these days, I’ve been…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human, don’t waste your energy… This is inevitable…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I can still map consciousness, I can return to the past and find a way to save you. I’ve already failed once, this time, I’ll definitely-
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Idiot… Don’t rely on that sort of thing all the time. You know that… this time… you can’t change the past anymore… Because…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Because you’re involved in it now…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
No… I’m sure I can still…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Enough. Right now, I’m… really happy… Really, very happy… to see the real you…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human, do you still remember…?
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
We… once danced under the moon…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
At that time, you agreed to my selfish request… and danced with me…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It was the first time someone was willing to listen to me… to fulfill my ridiculous wish…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
And because of that… I had a new wish…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Haha… We can’t go back to the past now…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
If I were just an ordinary Theresa, how…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Nice it would be…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
No! It shouldn’t be like this!
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I fell into darkness once again, as if something had been taken away from my body.

Captain…
Mysterious Voice
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Captain… Can you hear me? Captain…?
💬
Who are you?
💬
Where am I?
< Story choice has no effect on the story. >
Mysterious Voice
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Captain, we’re in Miss Luna’s castle.
Mysterious Voice
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It’s just that… your location is somewhat… unique…
💬
I must find Luna.
💬
I must leave this place.
< Story choice has no effect on the story. >
Mysterious Voice
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
True to your reputation, Captain, your determination is unwavering.
Mysterious Voice
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
However…
💬
Where is Luna?
💬
How do I escape from here?
< Story choice has no effect on the story. >
Mysterious Voice
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Your body isn’t ready to…
💬
No, I’m fine.
💬
I must leave this place.
< Story choice has no effect on the story. >
Mysterious Voice
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
If that’s the case, Captain…
Mysterious Voice
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Follow the voice, and you’ll find your way out.
Mysterious Voice
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You must stay close…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
As consciousness returned, fatigue and pain surged, and I reflectively opened my eyes wide.
Rita
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Captain…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Rita, is that you? Did you save me?
Rita
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Are you dreaming again, Captain?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
(Is everything that just happened a dream?)
Rita
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
But are you still determined to move forward now?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
!?
💬
Yes.
Rita
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Well then, let’s go.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
No, I need to make a more prudent choice.
< If player choose “I’m already standing here, I refuse to let you decide our future alone.” >
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I’m already standing here I refuse to let you decide our future alone.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
A sea of darkness consumed my vision, and even dominated my sense of hearing and touch.
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I struggled as much as I could, and fumbled around in the endless darkness. I must hold that hand-
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I understand how you feel, but I cannot accept it! Absolutely not!
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
If you’re looking for that gun and that bullet, I regret to tell you that I retuned them to Kallen before coming up here.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Because I don’t intend to sacrifice anyone this time, be it you or me!
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Sigh…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
A soft voice rang mysteriously and entered my disorganized thoughts. My senses suddenly returned to normal, or rather, they became sharper than ever…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I caught the intense fragrance, heard the mournful sobbing of a girl, and saw the pristine white gown dancing in the wind…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human, you really are such a gentle person…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You are completely incapable of hurting me, even though I am cruel and reckless…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Because I’ve always believed in you. You don’t truly wish to do these things.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Your presence is the greatest miracle I’ve encountered in my lifetime. But in order to fulfill my wish, you’ve observed my fate so many times.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Unwittingly, you’ve been cursed by me.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Observing your world is my wish, it has nothing to do with you. There’s no need for you to sacrifice for my sake.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
But it is also my wish to die for you. Human, you are the one who gave me a reason to live on. This time, I want to give you the chance to survive.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
No… Luna, there must be another way!
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I will find a way to separate our destinies, even if I must defy the laws of the universe again! Please… give me a bit more time…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
As I expected, you do share my thoughts. That’s why I’m doing this.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
For you, I must eliminate all potential threats, even if it’s the world‘s rules or…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
An outcome you can’t accept.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Wait, what are you going to do?
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I reached out my hand, trying to grasp the tender, delicate wrist of the girl, but…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Luna!
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
My hand passed through her arm and made no contact.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
What have you done? Why?
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Human, though it pains me, it’s time to bid farewell.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
If I do not disappear, you’ll definitely try to change everything through consciousness mapping again and again.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
But that’s too perilous. I don’t want you to risk it again for me. So…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Since you won’t hurt me, I can only leave on my own accord.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
No, no, stop…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Don’t worry about me. I’ve long prepared myself for this moment…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Even without that bullet, I’ve found a way to vanish on my own terms. However, at this moment, knowing that you discarded that gun from the start, I’m truly…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Truly happy…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
No! I’ve worked so hard to find you. It can’t end like this!
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I haven't fulfilled your wish yet. We haven't gone to the amusement park, sat on the Ferris wheel, opened a restaurant, or shared a black truffle chocolate steak together. So…
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I tried to hold on to her, but like the reflection of the moon in water, if I tried to touch her, she would shatter, disintegrate, and vanish even quicker.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Please, don't go…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Enough, human. Don't say this kind of thing when we're parting ways and fulfill my final wish, okay?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…What? What are you saying?
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Tell me, do I look pretty today?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Yes… Your white dress complements the moon tonight.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It's wonderful to know that you've noticed.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Though erasing me from your memory might be better for you, I just couldn't resist putting on this gown. I want to remain in your memories in the most beautiful way.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
You'll always remember me, won't you?
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I'll never forget. I'll remember you forever…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Then I have no regrets.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I must depart now. Back to the place where I should be…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
It must be like a storeroom cluttered with odds and ends, containing many, many versions of me…
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Then I will find you again!
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Please don't, human. You've done more than enough for me. You must live a long life, and remember my face well.
Captain
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I don't care how long it takes me! I don't care where you are! I will find you. And we will…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Thank you for staying with me for so long, I'm truly glad…
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Alright, I know.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
Thank you for staying with me for so long.
Luna
✦
✦
✦
✦
✦
I'm really happy…
