Gravity Cinema

(Upon inviting Cecilia): Cecilia: The human heart beats around a hundred thousand times in a single day...; Cecilia: This movie, "The Heartbeat," looks really good.; Cecilia!; Wanna watch this movie?; Cecilia: Mhm mhm. If it's a good movie, I can recommend it to the little angels later~; Cecilia: Hmm... Manager, are you interested in this movie? I can grab two tickets~; Thank you, then~; Let's watch it together.; Cecilia: Sounds good. I'll go get the tickets now. Hang tight here for a sec, Manager.

(While watching "The Heartbeat")

(Cecilia sits gracefully in her seat, looking forward to the movie.)

(There's still some time before the movie starts. I should chat with Cecilia about something she's interested in.)

(Though her daily activities revolve around the Angels of Delusion, doesn't she need some time to herself?)

(Let's talk about the Angels of Delusion)

(Movie Rank increase): Cecilia: My little angels? Yes, they've all been practicing super hard~; Cecilia: Aria and Nangong's performances have continued to improve, and Sunna wrote some truly wonderful songs... They deserve a proper reward.; Cecilia: Oh, sorry, guess I got a bit carried away... The movie's about to start, so let's leave it at that for now.

(Chat about Cecilia herself)

(Movie Rank increase): Cecilia: Me? ...Heh, I thought Manager would be more interested in hearing about the Angels of Delusion.; Cecilia: I recently learned a special little craft from Sunna... She really likes scented candles, so I ended up making some for scenting clothes too.; Cecilia raises her wrist, and a faint fragrance wafts from inside her sleeve.; Cecilia: So, what do you think? It's a calming scent, right? I made quite a few— I can give you some another day, Manager.

Time's up.

Cecilia: Oh dear, I just realized I forgot to grab some popcorn or snacks earlier...

Cecilia: Are you hungry, Manager? Hang in there— we can grab something to eat after the movie~

The movie begins, and the once warm, cozy everyday life is suddenly shattered by an incident in which a child falls into a hollow.

His mother resolutely steps into the hollow, following the trembling ECG traces on her phone screen as she searches for traces of her child.

Separated from the investigator and cornered against ruined walls, the mother finds herself surrounded by Ethereals with nowhere left to run...

When her phone falls in the moment she's swept up in the Hollow disaster, you feel Cecilia's breathing stifle.

Cecilia: ..!

(Wait for the story to progress)

(Movie Rank increase): (ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Better not spoil it, let's let Cecilia see how things unfold for herself...); The phone fell into the Hollow fissure along with her mother... but she snatched it back just in the nick of time.; Cecilia: ..Thank goodness, I was worried her phone would drop back where it was before, and she'd never find it again.; Cecilia: Judging by the look on your face, Manager, you must have known what was going to happen all along, right?; That's right.; Cecilia: As expected of a video store manager, you know this movie's plot inside and out...; Cecilia: Still, even though you knew how the story was going to unfold, you didn't tell me...; Cecilia: I guess you didn't want to spoil the viewing experience... Thank you.

(Tell her it was just a false alarm)

(Movie Rank increase): Cecilia: Ah... is that so?; Cecilia: I once had a cameo in a movie before, and I recall the director mentioning something similar while explaining the scene...; Cecilia: Creating sudden incidents to recapture the audience's attention is a tried-and-true technique in story design.; Cecilia: I got too caught up in the moment and completely forgot about all that stuff, haha...; Cecilia: Drawing people in, blurring the line between reality and fiction - perhaps that's the magic of cinema.

Time's up.

Cecilia: *sigh*... Thank goodness, even though she fell into the Hollow fissure, her phone got teleported along with her.

Cecilia: You look so chill — must've seen this coming, huh?

Stern Investigator: Don't you understand? Even if your kid wasn't trapped by the Hollow, there's no way he would've made it. Stop fooling yourself!

Determined Mother: For a mother, only what she sees with her own eyes is real.

Determined Mother: Besides, my child hasn't given up believing in his mother.

Determined Mother: His heartbeat gradually calmed down. He knew I would definitely find him!

The child is transported through the Hollow again and again, making him impossible to locate, and his mother also gets caught up in a crisis...

The atmosphere grows tense. At this moment, everyone is worried for this parent and child...

Everyone lets out a collective gasp as the ECG reading on the phone screen returns to normal.

Cecilia seems unusually quiet, her normally soft breathing barely perceptible...
You turn your head to catch a glimpse of her expression—

A teardrop rolls down Cecilia's cheek...
Under the dim light of the cinema, it shimmers with a pearly iridescence.

After a long while, a single sob finally escapes.

(Quietly hand over a tissue)

(Movie Rank increase): Cecilia: Sorry, Manager, I got a bit carried away...; Cecilia takes the tissue...
Her slender fingers brush lightly against yours, leaving behind a faint, cool touch.; Cecilia: It's just that seeing hope rekindled for this mother and child, after all the hardship they've endured... it truly moved me.; Cecilia: We lived through the fall of the old capital...we all know just how rare miracles that avert disaster truly are.; Cecilia: Even if it's only fiction... witnessing such a miracle is enough to bring me comfort.; Cecilia: Because I can't help but believe... that such a possibility will always exist.

Are you okay?

(Movie Rank increase): Cecilia gently brushes the tears from her face with her fingers...; Cecilia: ...Thanks for your concern, Manager. I'm feeling much better now.; Cecilia: Even when the child's chances of survival were slim, the mother kept knocking again and again at fate's door.; Cecilia: In her persistent questioning, even the Hollow itself finally revealed a merciful side...

Time's up.

Cecilia: ...

Cecilia: Thankfully, they managed to overcome that crisis...

You finish watching "The Heartbeat" with Cecilia...
(If no correct choices were made): Cecilia: The fate of this mother and son is truly touching...; Cecilia: Thank goodness it ended well, or I would've been tossing and turning all night about it...; Cecilia: Aria and the others should be just about done with their practice. It's time for me to head back and check on them... goodbye, Manager.; Cecilia: Thanks, Manager, for watching this movie with me.

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (As the agent for the Angels of Delusion, Cecilia must really relate to the motherin the movie.)

That mother is so brave.

(Movie Rank increase): Cecilia: Rather than calling it bravery, I'd say everything she did was almost instinctive...; Cecilia: Before her mind could even catch up, her body had already made the choice.; Cecilia: I totally get it... that feeling when you'd risk everything to protect someone...; Cecilia: If anything were to happen to the girls of Angels of Delusion, I know I'd be just like that mother...; Cecilia: Even if it meant facing immense danger, I would still search for a way to save them.; That won't happen.; Cecilia: Hehe... of course. They're all going to soar smoothly all the way to the top and become the most dazzling angels there are~

That kid is really strong.

Cecilia: That's right— whether it's suffering from a heart condition or being swept into a Hollow, these are the worst kinds of disasters an ordinary person can imagine.

Cecilia: Yet despite bearing unspeakable pain, he still chose to hang on to 'life'.

Cecilia: "Just hold on a little longer, and I'll be able to see my mother again..."
"Just hold on a little longer, and maybe one day I can be a normal, healthy person..."

Cecilia: Fortunately, in the end, they finally received mercy from that cruel fate.

Cecilia: Perhaps that strength, in the end, saved his mother as well.

(Time's up.)

Cecilia: I'm so happy I got to share this movie with you, Manager...

Cecilia: If I get the chance, I'd love to recommend this movie to my little angels... though they'll probably end up in tears~

Cecilia: Thanks, Manager, for watching this movie with me.

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached): Cecilia: Before the Hollow, humans are insignificant... yet the Hollow cannot erase the bounds of emotion.; Cecilia: In the face of disaster, the mother held tight to this lifeline, finding her child through the sound of his heartbeat.; Cecilia: That was such a great movie. I'm so thankful I got to watch it with you.
(Obtained Movie Notes): The only force that can overcome Hollows and destiny itself... maybe it's just the "heartbeat" connecting a mother and child.

(After watching "The Heartbeat"): Cecilia: Thanks for sticking with me through the whole movie, Manager~; Cecilia: "The Heartbeat" really is a perfect name for it...; Cecilia: While watching the movie... I shared thousands of heartbeats with you, Manager.; Cecilia: But... Should I recommend this one to the little angels?; Cecilia: The story's great, but it feels like Aria and Sunna would be crying the whole time...; Let's watch it together another day.; Cecilia: Hmm... That actually sounds like a good idea.; Cecilia: When the time comes, I'll need you to help me take care of the little angels' emotions, Manager~

(Inviting Cecilia out again): Cecilia: Ever since I watched it last time, I can't stop thinking about "The Heartbeat"...; Wanna watch it again?; Cecilia: Mmm... Even though it makes me tear up, it really is a rare gem. I guess I'll watch it again~

(Inviting Cecilia to a different movie): You finish watching the movie with Cecilia.
She kept her eyes on the screen out of politeness, but couldn't quite hide her disappointment...; Guess I'll watch "The Heartbeat" with her.

Watch a movie with Jane

Think about who you want to share this special Gravitational Storytime playlist with.

Gravity Cinema

(Upon inviting Jane): Jane: I've always heard that "Coffee Mate" is a really cute movie, about a sweet, gentle coffee machine falling for an adorable customer; Jane: Such a cute movie... You haven't already watched it with some other cute lady, have you, Manager?; I am the video store Manager, after all...; I've watched a lot of movies...; Jane: Relax, relax~ Cute little Manager, whether you've seen it with someone else or not, what matters to me is that watching this movie with you will be a precious memory for me.; Jane: But whether you've seen this movie with someone else or not, you'd better treat watching it with me as something truly special!; Jane: Just like how, no matter how many customers come and go, Angelina is still one of a kind to Mr. Rob.; Jane: Let's hurry into the theater. The darkness will be perfect for hiding that little blush of yours~

(While watching "Coffee Mate")

(Jane's gaze keeps drifting to the side. It seems she's more interested in her companion's reactions than in the movie itself...)

(Jane softly hums a cheerful tune; it sounds like the jingle from the Coffee Mate trailer.)

(She seems really excited about this movie. Maybe I should chat with her and see what she thinks of it.)

Do you like comedies?

(Movie Rank increase): Jane: Who doesn't like a happy story? Or... do you think I'm just a dull, boring person?; Jane: New Eridu's got enough dark plots and schemes as it is. Let's keep things a bit lighter in our fictional stories, shall we?; Jane: After all, my own story can hardly be called a comedy, now can it?

Are you into romance flicks?

(Movie Rank increase): Jane: Oh my~ What a heart-fluttering question, my~ little~ manager~; Jane: Romance, huh...? Seems like a pretty foreign concept to me; so hard to understand.; Jane: To be honest, instead of listening to someone's confession, I'd much rather secretly catch the sound of someone's heart skipping a beat.

Time's up.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Let's just wait patiently for the movie to start...)

Jane: Hmm... is it just me, or is the Manager unusually quiet today?

Jane: Mmm... You don't always have to take movies so seriously, y'know?

Angelina keeps coming back to Mr. Rob's coffee shop...

Mr. Rob keeps preparing mochas with double syrup...

Jane: The chocolate and syrup completely mask the taste of coffee beans... Angelina doesn't even like coffee at all, does she?

You don't like it?

(Movie Rank increase): Jane: It's silly, the whole movie is so silly.; Jane: Mr. Rob is adorably clueless... kind of like you sometimes, Manager.; Jane: Angelina can be a bit foolish, too, just like me.; Am I... Am I silly too?; Jane: Sometimes even sillier than Eous.

Movies always have their plot holes.

(Movie Rank increase): Jane: Plot holes...? I don't really see it that way.; Jane: A girl who doesn't even like coffee insists on visiting a cafe every day, only to develop a crush on the quiet, reserved coffee machine...; Jane: A foolish construct that runs the same program for every customer day after day suddenly develops an unexpected circuit— one sparked solely for the girl.; Jane: But it's exactly these little irrational moments that make emotions in real life all the more special.

Time's up.

Jane: Mmm...

Jane: *sigh*... You really are such a polite viewer, little Manager...

Angelina: Mr. Rob, is this latte art a habit of yours, or... a secret love letter?

Mr. Rob: Customer preferences detected: double syrup with zero loneliness concentration.

Angelina: Never mind, I like it anyway.

Mr. Rob, the Coffee Machine's mechanical, monotone monologue, has Angelina bursting into a fit of giggles.

Jane lets out a soft laugh beside me— the lines are goofy, yet somehow touching.

Like those cheesy lines from an old high school romance movie, lines that couples have used to death, but somehow take on new life when coming from a coffee machine.

Jane:Hey~ are you sneaking a peek at me, little Manager?

I just wanted to see your reaction.

(Movie Rank increase): Jane: It doesn't quite make my heart race the way that I imagined it would.; Jane: Maybe it's because the plot just isn't all that exciting...; Jane: Or is it because you're simply too used to watching movies with someone else, Manager?; Jane: Or maybe...; Jane: Is watching movies with me really that boring, Manager?; N—No, not at all!; Jane: Ha! That's more like it! My~ heart~ is~ racing~

Mr. Tin Master came to my mind...

(Movie Rank increase): Jane: Mr. Tin Master? You mean that Intelligent Construct on Sixth Street who's obsessed with coffee?; Jane: Do you think this movie might actually have been sponsored by him...?; Jane: But honestly, more than Tin Master, Mr. Rob reminds me of another shop owner on Sixth Street...; Who could that be?; Jane: Lemme think... It's some place at the end of the street...; Jane: A video store called "Random Play"?; Why me?; Jane: You're pretty cunning, little manager. "Random Play" has two managers, so how do you know the one I'm thinking of is you?; Jane: Alright then...; Jane: Seems like you're a bit more clever than Mr. Rob~

Time's up.

Jane: The silent treatment? Are you trying to pull a Mr. Rob on me?

Jane: Cute approach... but that won't work on me, little Manager.

You finish watching "Coffee Mate" with Jane...
(If no correct choices were made): Jane: Looks like they put all the good parts in the trailer.; Jane: Next time, I probably won't need to go out of my way to see a movie like this in theaters...; Jane: Still, it was fun hanging out with you, Manager. See you next time?

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

The theater lights slowly come up as the audience begins to file out...

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Looks like most of the audience here are couples...)

Kinda interesting flick, huh?

(Movie Rank increase): Jane: "Kinda interesting flick"?; Jane: As a professional film critic, you sure know how to leave room for interpretation...; Jane: You either like it or you don't. What's this "kinda interesting" stuff?; I like it!; Jane: So you... liked it as well?; Jane: But more interesting than the movie itself was a certain audience member's reaction~

It really was a cute movie.

(Movie Rank increase): Jane: I knew you'd feel the same way, little Manager!; Jane: People I perceive as cute people can perceive cute things the same cute way as cute me!; What kind of tongue twister are you reciting?; Jane: So cute!; Jane: Compared to convoluted dialogue and pretentious foreshadowing, I definitely prefer this kind of simple and cute little treat~; Jane: Next time you get more sweet treats, be sure to recommend them to me too, little Manager~

Time's up.

Jane: Can't bring myself to eject the tape, can't bring myself to turn off the TV...

Jane: Can't bring myself to leave the theater... It's all the same kind of thing to me.

Jane: I've forgotten most of the plot, but the person I watched the movie with is delightful.

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached): Jane: Movie reviews? Maybe it's best to leave all that deep, highbrow stuff to you, huh?; Jane: If I absolutely must...; Jane: The movie is simply adorable— and so is the person I watched it with!
(Obtained Movie Notes): After watching, I kinda wanna open a coffee shop too.

(After watching "Coffee Mate"): Jane: Would you keep coming back to a place just for someone?; Jane: An otherwise ordinary street became the most special place of all.; Jane: Even caffeine, once unwelcome, has become the sweet scent of happy memories.; Memories sure do put a filter on everything.; Jane, do you have any special place like that?; Jane: Of course I do! The back door of the Public Security Precinct. Between the ruthless criminals and my even more ruthless boss, I end up there all the time~; Jane: Just kidding. As for where that special place actually is... I'll tell you someday, when the time's right.; Jane: Whether it's the cinema or the Public Security Precinct. See you next time, Manager~

(Inviting Jane out again): Jane: How about watching that cute "Coffee Mate" with me one more time, Manager?; I'd love to!; Jane: Angelina never gets tired of visiting Mr. Rob's café over and over... I feel the same way about Random Play, you know.

(Inviting Jane to a different movie): You finish watching the movie with Jane.
She kept smiling the entire time, but something felt off... like her mind was somewhere else; Maybe Jane's more into "Coffee Mate" than the other flicks?

Watch a movie with Yixuan

Think about who you want to share this special Gravitational Storytime playlist with.

Gravity Cinema

(Upon inviting Yixuan): Yixuan: Hmm... "Haunted Rouge" actually looks pretty good.; Yixuan: This film was shot on location at Waifei... Even though it's familiar scenery, seeing it on the big screen feels different.; Yixuan: Watching a thriller this late... might make you a little uneasy.; Yixuan: If you're not into it, we can pick something else—no need to push yourself.; I'm okay with it!; Yixuan: Oh? You're in a good mood today... Alright, let's go with this one.

(While watching "Haunted Rouge")

(Yixuan Shifu seems pretty into the movie...)

Yixuan: I ddn't [sic] expect this many people at a midnight showing.

Yixuan: Can't say they're wrong. The air feels heavier after dark.

Yixuan: (‍Wise, coming here at this hour — you're braver than usual today. / So, Belle, did you pick this time because you were looking for a little extra thrill?‍)

I feel like I might get scared later...

Yixuan: Relax. I'll stay with you till the end.

Yixuan: And if it gets really overwhelming, I'll help you calm down.

Yixuan: Remember — it's only a movie.

Yixuan: No matter how scary it is, it's still just a story someone made up.

Yixuan: If you're scared, just lean my way.

With you here, Shifu, I'm not scared.

(Movie Rank increase): Yixuan: I see. Having company makes it easier to stay composed.; Yixuan: But even if I weren't here, I doubt it would make much difference...; Yixuan: It's just a movie after all. It's not like we're actually running into evil spirits.; Yixuan: But if you do get scared, you can lean closer to me.

Time's up.

Yixuan: You seem a bit tense.

Yixuan: Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere. I'll finish the movie with you.

Yixuan: Just shut your eyes and pretend you didn't see it. You can always lean closer to me.

(Move closer to Shifu)

A faint smile flickers in Yixuan's eyes.

Yixuan: That was fast... thought I suppose it never hurts to be prepared.

Yixuan: Alright, looks like it's about time. The movie's starting.

The lights slowly dim as the opening score begins. Mixed in with it are the faint, nervous breaths of the crowd. The movie starts.

The gate of the old mansion creaks open with an awful screech. In the pitch-black darkness beyond, there's a few eerie, muffled giggles.

The audience tenses up, someone letting out a quiet gasp.

Shifu doesn't look scared at all, she looks almost... entertained?

Why do I feel you're excited, Shifu...?

(Movie Rank increase): Yixuan: Mm... the strange creature in this movie is kind of interesting.; Yixuan: It's not very powerful, but it knows how to put on a scary act.; Yixuan: I was just thinking what kind of techniques would I use, if I ran into something like that one day.; Yixuan: Or maybe I could let you handle it. It's good practice.

Shifu, you getting serious now?

(Movie Rank increase): Yixuan: Tthe strange creature in this movie is pretty interesting.; Yixuan: It's not very powerful, but it knows how to use tricks to get under people's skin.; Yixuan: Yunkui Summit's disciples usually need real-world experience before they can stand on their own.; Yixuan: So if we ever found ourselves in a situation like this one, letting you take care of it might actually be the right call.

Time's up.

Yixuan: This strange creature knows how to scare ordinary people, but its actual power is pretty average.

Yixuan: If something like that ever showed up in real life, it'd actually be great practice for Yunkui Summit's disciples.

Yixuan: Letting you handle it might actually be a good idea.

Me?

Yixuan: Yes. Something around that level suits you perfectly...

Yixuan: Good chance to apply the techniques I taught you.

Yixuan: (‍What do you think, Wise? / What do you think, Belle?‍)

(Quickly shake your head and scoot farther away from Shifu)

Yixuan: *sigh* Why are you scooting away? I'm just teasing.

Yixuan: If something like that really appeared, I'd handle it myself. You have nothing to worry about.

Yixuan: Alright, alright... I'll stop picking on you. Come back.

Yixuan: Judging by the pacing, the main plot of the story is about to unfold.

Tardy Guest: You said some "other guests" were waiting for me in the lobby...But we're deep in the mountains, there shouldn't be anyone alive in this villa!

Rouge: Well, they aren't exactly "alive"... But it's also true they're waiting for new guests, just like the 47 other guests before you.

Tardy Guest: You mean they all... Who are you?! What is this place?!

In the second half of the movie, the story becomes more eerie, some audience members start screaming.

(You tense up without realizing it, like the next scene could jump-scare you at any moment.)

You feel a light tap on your arm. When you turn your head, Shifu is watching you with a gentle look.

Yixuan: Do you remember the meditation technique I taught you?

Yixuan: When your thoughts starts to wander, just bring your awareness in your palm.

Yixuan: Stay focused, and feel the energy flow.

Yixuan Shifu leans in and takes your hand. She taps lightly with her fingers — a warm sensation spreads through your chest.

(Fully relax)

(Movie Rank increase): Yixuan: Like this... let the unease fade away.; Yixuan: Don't worry. Like I said, I'll stay right here with you till the movie ends.

(Hold onto Shifu's hand)

(Movie Rank increase): Yixuan: If you want to hold on to me, go ahead... As long as you feel that warmth inside, fear won't linger.; Yixuan: Do you remember it now? If not, I can always teach you again.; Yixuan: Feeling better?

Time's up.

Yixuan: Don't forget — I'm right here with you.

Thank you, Shifu. I'm feeling much better now!

Yixuan: Good, I'm glad to hear that. This movie is designed to dig out people's deepest fears.

Yixuan: If it ever gets uncomfortable, don't force yourself, just tell me.

(If no correct choices were made): You finish watching the movie with Yixuan.; Yixuan: Hmm... the cinematography was nice, but the plot unfolded more or less as expected.; Yixuan: Real life favors steadiness, but stories are better with some twists and turns.; Yixuan: Let's head back now and get some rest. When something new hits the theaters, we can come back again.

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

When the movie ends, Shifu seems to have much to share.

Yixuan: You weren't the only one feeling tense. Quite a few people around us were startled as well.

Yixuan: That creature in the movie isn't actually especially powerful—

Yixuan: But it's good at using hints and atmosphere to stir up fear and unsettle people's minds.

Did the story scare you even a little?

(Movie Rank increase): Yixuan: Simple fear-mongering doesn't really work on me.; Yixuan: Too bad the director didn't get a bit more creative with how strange and unpredictable the creature could've been.

You didn't seem scared at all, Shifu.

(Movie Rank increase): Yixuan: I wasn't scared, but I'll admit the plot was solid. Some of the shots built suspense nicely.; Yixuan: That said... I do wish they'd explored the creature's unpredictable side more.

Time's up.

Yixuan: The director knows how to trigger fear, but the portrayal of the creature lacked creativity.

Yixuan: If they'd made that part more real, the movie's overall impact would've been much stronger.

I get it! You like suspense stories, Shifu!

Yixuan: Not really.

Yixuan: If the creature's appearance had been depicted with greater nuance and realism, the movie would've had more practical value.

Yixuan: It could've served as useful reference material for you, Fufu, and the others—a proper lesson in warding off misfortune.

Huh? Are you assigning homework again?

Yixuan: Alright, alright, I'm joking. Don't want you to shake your head and scoot away again.

Yixuan: It's getting late. Watching something this intense at night is tiring on the mind and body.

Yixuan: Once we leave the theater, you should head home and get some rest.

Yixuan: The movie was good, but it felt like something was missing.

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached): Yixuan: Watching a movie with you does feel a little different.; Yixuan: With someone familiar sitting next to you, all those strange things on screen start to feel like they're happening right beside you.; Yixuan: If you're up for it, we can come back and watch another movie together sometime.
(Obtained Movie Notes): The vibe's solid overall, but if we could spice up the details on the weird stuff, it'd really amp up that mystique factor.

(After watching "Haunted Rouge"): Yixuan: It's getting late now, time to head back and get some rest.; Yixuan: I wonder if those scenes will replay in your dreams... If you start feeling uneasy...; I remember what you taught me, Shifu!; (A faint smile appears at the corner of Yixuan's eyes); Yixuan: You're learning fast... A few more practice sessions, and you'll be able to explore that old mansion in your dreams.; I'll dream about going there with you, Shifu!; Yixuan: If I really could show up in your dreams, just wandering around some dusty old mansion together might be a bit of a waste. Don't you think?; Yixuan: Why not use the chance to teach you some secret techniques I haven't shown you yet... Though that's only if you can actually dream of me first.; Yixuan: Alright, that's enough chatting for today. It's getting late, so let's head back and get some rest.; Yixuan: Next time there's a movie you want to see, we can come back here again.

(Inviting Yixuan out again): Yixuan: Never thought "Haunted Rouge" would still be showing in theaters.; Yixuan: Perhaps it's fate... Watching it again might reveal some details that slipped by the first time...; Shifu, let's watch together!; Yixuan: That's exactly what I had in mind.

(Inviting Yixuan to a different movie): You finish watching the movie with Yixuan. She didn't seem too into the story though.; Let's just go see that flick she's been dying to watch—"Haunted Rouge."

Watch a movie with Billy

Think about who you want to share this special Gravitational Storytime playlist with.

Gravity Cinema

(Upon inviting Billy): Billy: Oh! Proxy—
You here for the premiere of "Starlight Knight: The First Heroes" too?!; Billy: You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this movie!
Sure, it got delayed like a million times, but I finally lived to see release day before my circuits completely rusted out!; I'm suddenly really hyped!; Sounds like an absolute must-see, a true "movie of a lifetime"!; Billy: Absolutely right!; Billy: Let's start our heroic journey, right here and right now!; Billy: No time to hesitate, Proxy. Let's get inside, now!

(While watching "Starlight Knight The First Heroes")

(Billy is sitting up straight in front of the big screen. He's clearly excited for the movie.)

(The movie hasn't even started yet, and Billy's already getting hyped up.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Let's take this chance to chat about something he's interested in.)

(Let's talk about the movie)

(Movie Rank increase): Billy: Proxy, you didn't miss the previous Starlight Knight releases, did you?; Billy: Starlight Knight Seasons One through Three, Starlight Knight: The Other Knight, Starlight Knight: Awakening...; Billy: Every single one is a masterpiece in its own tier!

(Let's talk about Billy)

Billy: Why do I love the Starlight Knight so much?

Billy: Well, that's a no-brainer.
Becoming a hero who saves the world... can you even get any more epic than that?!

Billy: Rather than calling it a fantasy, it's more like the ideal dream I wish to live out.

Time's up.

Billy: Proxy...?

Billy: I get it, you must be replaying some epic Starlight Knight moments in your head, too!

The movie starts... This one seems different from all the previous Starlight Knight movies.

At the beginning of the story, the protagonists haven't gained their transformation abilities yet.

Street thugs with bats and clubs were already enough to leave them battered and beaten on the ground.

(Hold your breath anxiously)

(Movie Rank increase): Billy: Proxy, you're on the edge of your seat now.; Billy: Heh... after all, these Starlight Knights are just ordinary people.; Billy: But I know they'll get back on their feet...; Billy: Because they're Starlight Knights.

(Wait for plot to develop)

(Movie Rank increase): You quietly lean back in your seat.
In the dark theater, the protagonists' heroic shouts echo in your ears.; After each increasingly brutal hit, they still manage to stand up and support each other. The thugs get scared and run away in a panic.; Billy: Woohoohoohoo!; Billy: As expected of Starlight Knights... you never give up, no matter what!

Time's up.

Billy: *sigh*... Even though I knew they'd become Starlight Knights...

Billy: This kind of plot still gets me on edge...

Lead Actor 1: "Hey, who cares if we can't transform... We're not fighting just to become Starlight Knights!"

Lead Actor 2: "We're just ordinary folks... but we all have a reason to find our courage."

Lead Actor 1: "The Starlight Knights aren't fighting this battle alone...!"

Billy's body tenses up as he sits upright in his seat, eyes glued to the screen.

Terrifying monsters descend upon the city as citizens frantically evacuate through the ruined streets.

Even though the heroes can transform and fight at this point, their combat abilities seem far inferior to those of the enemy.

It seems like no one could help them in this critical moment.

(Pat Billy on the shoulder)

Billy: I'm fine, Proxy... I'm not nervous at all!

Billy: They just ran into the toughest enemy before upgrading their gear, that's all!

Billy: Maybe future lab assistants will travel back in time to deliver equipment to them!

You feel Billy's touch on your arm... It's rare to see him this tense.

The movie is still playing.

Surprisingly, it wasn't some hero descending from the heavens who saved the Starlight Knights.
Instead, it was the ordinary people who should have fled, bravely taking up all sorts of makeshift weapons under the leadership of a nameless Intelligent Construct.

Billy: ...

They'll win!

(Movie Rank increase): Billy hesitates for a moment, then nods firmly.; The screen's glow flickers across both you and Billy's faces.; A turning point emerges as ordinary people who should have fled stand united before the heroes.
Led by a nameless Intelligent Construct, people bravely take up all sorts of makeshift weapons.; Billy: So even ordinary folks who keep pushing forward can become heroes...; Billy: I know they'll win!

Time's up.

Billy: ...

Billy: Boy, what an unexpected twist...

(If no correct choices were made): You finish watching "Starlight Knight: The First Heroes" with Billy.; Billy keeps going on and on about the iconic scenes from the movie.; Billy: Sorry, Proxy... I got too caught up in the movie!; Billy: Ah... I didn't even get the chance to share some important feelings with you...; Billy: But, if you ever want to see it again, call me anytime!

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

"Starlight Knight: The First Heroes" comes to an end.
This time, the credits seem particularly long.

Billy remains seated, lost in thought after the movie is over.

Everyone is so kind.

Billy: That scene where everyone's working towards the same goal... no matter how many times you see it, it just stays with you.

Billy: Even ordinary people dared to take up arms and fight to protect their city.

Billy: Oh, but that nameless Intelligent Construct...

Billy: Must be an easter egg left by a future Starlight Knight, right?

You look like you're still processing the movie, Billy...

(Movie Rank increase): Billy: Hmm...; Billy: The director did say in an interview that the plot of the movie might be a little different than what Starlight Knight fans expect...; Billy: It's a story about the director's creative aspirations...; Billy: But those ordinary citizens, and that nameless Intelligent Construct...; Billy: Were truly brave enough to be called "Starlight Knights"!

Time's up.

Billy: I'm gonna give it a perfect score on every review site!

Billy: No Starlight Knight fan can afford to miss this movie!

Billy: Not a bad flick... And the theater seats were super comfy!

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached): Billy: For all you Starlight Knight fans out there, this movie will definitely live up to your expectations!; Billy: For those who aren't Starlight Knight fans yet, it's your perfect chance to become one!; Billy: All in all, I highly recommend everyone check out Starlight Knight: The First Heroes!
(Obtained Movie Notes): Perfect score! A brand new milestone for the Starlight Knight series! An absolute must-watch — gotta see it at least a hundred times!

(After watching "Starlight Knight The First Heroes"): Billy: Hehe. Watching my favorite film with you, Proxy, is something I'll remember for a lifetime!; That's a bit much... Billy!; Billy: You're right. We can watch plenty of the other Starlight Knight films together later...
It's a deal then!; Billy: See you, Proxy!

(Inviting Billy out again): Billy: A masterpiece like "Starlight Knight: The First Heroes" is definitely not something you can watch just once!; Let's watch it... a billion more times!; Billy: Proxy, you really are the partner who understands me best!

(Inviting Billy to a different movie): You finish watching the movie with Billy, but he kept going on and on about missing the Starlight Knight theatrical release.; Let's go with "Starlight Knight: The First Heroes" next time.

(Upon inviting Seed): Seed: Yah-hoh, Proxy~ You here to catch a movie too?; Seed: The other day, Orphie said she was going to the movies, and she came back with her face all tear-stained... So now I'm really curious what that movie, "7710 and Its Cat," was actually about~; Seed: Since we ran into you here, Proxy... How about we watch a movie together today? Honey mixed into coffee actually tastes surprisingly good, you know~; That's a weird way to put it, but sure, I'm in.; Sure, why not... Though that's a weird way to put it.; Seed: Oh, don't worry about it! Then for the next few hours, you're all mine, Prox—; Seed: ...Hmm, maybe bringing up your side job so much in public isn't a great idea? How about we use something that fits the vibe better for now?; Seed: Then, let's head in, (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍)~

(While watching "7710 and Its Cat")

(Seed waits eagerly for the show to start, subconsciously swaying from side to side...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (For Seed, who's such a homebody, to actually suggest coming to the cinema... This movie must have something that really caught her interest.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (A Bangboo and its cat's Hollow adventure... She's finally starting to understand life lately. It's probably that theme that caught her eye.)

The Bangboo and the cat both have real-life counterparts!

(Movie Rank increase): Seed: Eh~? So you're telling me the story of a little Bangboo teaming up with a cat to become New Eridu's strongest Proxy actually happened?; Seed: The Proxy business is super competitive these days... but it really does make for one heck of a movie~; Seed: (‍Pro...

This movie's got quite a lot of wondrous in-Hollow scenes.

Seed: Speaking of wondrous in-Hollow scenes, our squad's seen quite a few of them during our missions~

Seed: Upside-down waterfalls, Hatis' lairs and all that... but today, I'd rather watch the Bangboo and kitty interact~

Seed: (‍Pro... Wise, if you like touring the Hollows, Seed Sr. and I can take you there after the movie~ / Pro... Belle, if you like touring the Hollows, Seed Sr. and I can take you there after the movie~‍)

Time's up.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (I still can't figure out what about it she'd enjoy...)

Seed: (‍You're awfully quiet today, Pro... Wise. If you're feeling sleepy, you can always take a nap on my shoulder~ / You're awfully quiet today, Pro... Belle. If you're feeling sleepy, you can always take a nap on my shoulder~‍)

The movie opens with Bangboo IGC-7710, abandoned in the Hollow by their investigator Master, wandering alone.

After encountering the stray cat Katie, it misunderstood its Master's parting words, "Stay in the Hollow with the beasts," and began taking care of the little cat.

7710, who had only dealt with humans before, made quite a few blunders with Katie at first, causing waves of laughter throughout the cinema...

Seed seems pretty absorbed in it, but she's not smiling at all... Wonder what's on her mind?

As the story unfolds, the cautious kitten Katie finally realizes that 7710 means no harm.
One rainy night, when 7710 is running low on power, Katie brings it a discarded Ether battery.

You hear Seed let out a quiet gasp. When you turn to look at her, you find she's also turned to look your way.
Your eyes meet, and her crystal-clear gaze, tinged with amusement, ripples like water, leaving you momentarily dazed.

Seed: (‍Awesome! 7710 and Katie finally understand each other. / Awesome! 7710 and Katie finally understand each other.‍)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Looks like Seed wasn't smiling because she was worried about how things were developing between the Bangboo and the cat...)

7710 touched Katie's heart.

(Movie Rank increase): Seed: Yeah~ It feels super emotional to you too, right?; Yeah, it really makes you think...; Seed: Yeah, everyone's smiling, but connecting with a kitty isn't easy! 7710's really putting in the work~; Seed: Even if we can't understand each other's feelings at first, as long as we keep paying attention to one another, we'll eventually understand each other's hearts...; Seed: Like... how you noticed my change in mood right away~

(Gaze at Seed's smile)

(Movie Rank increase): Seed: What's wrong? Ah... Was what I just said weird? Or was I too loud?; No, I just noticed you're finally smiling.; Seed: I was just anxious for 7710 since it couldn't figure out what Katie was thinking...; Seed: I've been trying to guess what Katie's thinking too, whether she's hungry or homesick... My success rate is at 60% so far~; Seed: But... we should stay quiet at a time like this... Time for a little distance adjustment~

Time's up.

Seed: (‍Hmm~? From your reaction... you don't think this scene is touching, Wise? / Hmm~? From your reaction... you don't think this scene is touching, Belle?‍)

Seed: I'm still learning to understand emotions, so maybe I'm overreacting...

Seed: As part of my studies, let me observe your reactions up close~

Seed silently draws closer until your shoulders touch. She smiles without saying anything further.
Somehow, the sound of your heartbeat and her breaths drown out the movie in your mind...

HIA Investigator: "A Bangboo that mistakes kittens for rescue targets is clearly defective. I apologize, but we'll need to recall it."

HIA Investigator: "Don't worry, we're just gonna wipe its memory and reprogram it from scratch— Hey, what are you doing!"

Katie's Adoptive Parent: "It saved Katie and got her out of the Hollow! You can't treat it like this! Katie, take 7710 and run!"

7710 finally leaves the Hollow with little Katie and finds its former home — the Hollow Investigative Association.

The Investigation Association finds an owner to adopt Katie, but plans to recall 7710 for disposal as a defective product.

Finding this suspicious, Katie's new master holds off the investigator, letting 7710 and Katie escape to search for clues...

Once again embarking on their adventure, they return to that mysterious building they stumbled upon in the Hollow, one that seems connected to the Investigation Association...

7710 and Katie find themselves in an epic chase scene, evading the investigator on their tail.
The audience gasps at the thrilling escape, and at that moment, you feel Seed tightly gripping your hand...

Seed: ...!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Seed is totally absorbed in the movie... Maybe I should encourage her to express her feelings?)

Cheer them on quietly!

(Movie Rank increase): Seed: Yeah... Go on, run... 7710, and Katie...; Seed: Shake them off, 7710, Katie! Your family's waiting for you to come back! Hurry!; Seed: Caring for each other and our families gives us new strength! Quick, transform into your second form and blast them with lasers!; There's nothing like that in this story...; Seed: If I were the director, I'd add a scene like that... It's what the villain who tried to keep the three of them apart deserves!; They'll definetly make it through safe and sound.; Seed wants to reply, but realizes she needs to control her volume and leans in closer to speak.
She's calmed down, yet she seems completely oblivious to the shortened distance...; Seed: (‍If you say so... Then they should be fine! After all, you're the movie expert~If you say so... Then they should be fine! After all, you're the movie expert~Text for Wise / If you say so... Then they should be fine! After all, you're the movie expert~If you say so... Then they should be fine! After all, you're the movie expert~Text for Belle‍)

(Squeeze her hand with equal force)

(Movie Rank increase): The response pulls Seed back to the present.
She gently lets go of your hand, seeming a bit lost for what to do next.; Seed: ...For some reason, seeing the three of them forced apart makes my heart ache, like a Blastcrawler trapped in a wooden barrel...; Seed: So I was just thinking, I should team up with Seed Sr. and break through the screen to help them~; Calm down, it's just a movie!; Seed: Yeah, I know, everyone told me the same thing when we watched "Don't Touch" together~; Seed: Besides, results that come after hard work and trouble are way more meaningful... That's something I only recently came to understand~

Time's up.

During the chase scene, Seed watches intently.
Only when 7710 and Katie make it to safety does she finally breathe a sigh of relief...

Seed: Hmm, not bad... Looks like the little Bangboo and the kitty totally owned the humans this time~

You finish watching "7710 and Its Cat" together with Seed...
(If no correct choices were made): You watch "7710 and Its Cat" with Seed...
Though it was a heartwarming adventure film with both laughter and tears, Seed didn't seem too immersed in it. Instead, she still looked somewhat puzzled after the movie ended...; Seed: (‍Wise... Proxy, I feel like what I pay attention to is kinda different from you and everyone else...Wise...

See ya, Proxy~

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

Is it just you, or does Seed seem much more open with her emotions than when you first met?

Maybe she's imagining herself as one of the characters who is trying to understand the hearts of others... Let's try asking her about it.

7710 is such an awesome Bangboo.

(Movie Rank increase): Seed: (‍So you feel the same way? Watching it getting all flustered trying to figure out Katie's thoughts just makes me wanna cheer it on~So you feel the same way?

Not only did no one adopt it, it was recalled as a defective product...; Reality isn't all that pretty...; Seed: In a way, I'm a defective product just like it. At least the movie gave it a better ending.; Seed: (‍And creating such an ending in reality is what we should do! Right, Wise?And creating such an ending in reality is what we should do!

Little Katie really left quite the impression.

(Movie Rank increase): Seed: Hmm... Are you more interested in the little kitty? I'm actually more curious about that little Bangboo called 7710~; Seed: Maybe it's because we're alike. We both struggle to understand how others' emotions work... I really hope it finds a family of its own.; Seed: But... I just looked up its real-world prototype... In the end, it was recalled by the Association as a defective product.; Seed: So I guess people are more interested in a kitten that can feel emotions than a defective product, huh...?; Lots of people love 7710!; Seed: (‍Don't be fooled by appearances~ New Eridu is the kind of place where even Avarus can have a fan club!Don't be fooled by appearances~ New Eridu is the kind of place where even Avarus can have a fan club!

Time's up.

Seed: I was totally hooked while watching... but thinking about it now, there are as many plot holes as my records of being late to training~~

Seed: Maybe it's because most endings in real life are nothing like the movies...

Seed: It's a movie with vibes similar to Sharp Smile and Nitro-Fuel teamilk... Thanks for watching it with me today~

(Upon inviting Cissia)

Cissia: I knew it!... You are still alive, huh~
I came all the way from afar. I caught your scent and followed it right into this theater.

(Haven't seen Cissia since she ran off alone in the Hollow last time...)

Cissia: All right, decision made. You're my investigation target for today, you suspicious little video store Manager. Whatever you're up to, I'm tailing you!

I'm gonna watch a movie.

Wanna watch it together?

Cissia: Are you thinking of watching "Stray Paws"? The synopsis says a little dog wanders through the Hollow, and the protagonist takes it in and trains it as a rescue dog...

Cissia: The protagonist sounds like some sketchy city slicker with bad intentions... Yeah, I get it now. This is totally a horror movie!

It's a story about a little dog and a human becoming friends!

Cissia: Oh, so they're friends– That makes sense! Back in the Outer Ring, I used to get sent into the Hollow with stray cats and dogs to scavenge for food. Sounds like pretty much the same story!

It's got no scary scenes at all!

Cissia: That story sounds scary. Taking puppies away and making them work... You city folks are really something, being able to watch this kind of movie so calmly.

You'll find out once the movie's over!

No spoilers!

Cissia: Oh, let's grab the tickets and head in already. I'm getting tired of standing out here~

(While watching "Stray Paws")

(Cissia runs her hand over the cinema seat, pressing down to test its softness... She keeps poking it and letting out satisfied sighs.)

(Before the movie even starts, Cissia has already completely melted into the warm theater seat.)

(If this keeps up, she might fall asleep. I should find a topic to keep her awake.)

(Maybe I should ask her about stray dogs?)

If you see a stray puppy...

(Movie Rank increase): Cissia: Stray puppies, stray people, stray Bangboo... aren't they everywhere?; Cissia: When two meet, they settle things with a fight, and the loser goes hungry.; Cissia: But fighting is exhausting, and puppies can be pretty sneaky...; Cissia: They often act all cute and sweet just to scam people for free food and drink!; Cissia: (‍Wise, remember!

Have you ever taken in a stray dog?

(Movie Rank increase): Cissia: Oh, well... if you're gonna keep a dog, you gotta feed them.; Cissia: I'm a pro at this, and there's lots of different flavors of dog food — all delicious.; Cissia: I also know that dogs need to be taken out on a run every day... and the ones in the Outer Ring always bolt when they see me.; Cissia: I really can do everything, right~

Time's up.

(Cissia jumps in surprise as the movie screen suddenly lights up.)

Cissia: I underestimated this cinema. It ambushed us!

The movie begins... Ross, the protagonist puppy, first wanders alone through the hollow, encountering dangerous crises from time to time.

In the next scene, a massive shadow lurking off-camera slowly creeps toward it once again.

As for Cissia... she seems completely immersed in puppy Ross' perspective, anxiously curling her legs.

Until the camera pans, revealing the truth—

This time, it wasn't a terrifying Ethereal approaching the puppy, but the movie's protagonist investigator.

Cissia: (‍Oh, what do we do? We're gonna get caught, I'm just a little pup... Wise, didn't you say this wasn't a horror movie?! / What do we do? We're gonna get caught, I'm just a little pup... Belle, didn't you say this wasn't a horror movie?!!‍)

Don't worry, the investigator is one of the good guys.

(Movie Rank increase): Cissia: ...That investigator gave me some food. Looks like he's not half bad after all.; Cissia: I can't get his scent through the screen, so I can't gauge his strength.; Cissia: But judging by how he walks, even if he were a bad guy, he'd be a pretty weak one...; Cissia: Hmph, then it's all good. It's too bad for him that he had to run into me.; Looks like you're totally immersed in Little Ross' perspective.; Cissia: Immersed... You mean I'm thinking of myself as Ross?; Cissia: Like right now, when his paw's being held, it gives me this warm fuzzy feeling...; Cissia: What about you? Do you immerse yourself in the investigator's perspective too?; Cissia: Don't be shy, I can lend you my hand~

You're that worried about Little Ross?

Cissia: Being alone on the streets is one thing, but getting snatched up out of nowhere... that's scary.

Cissia: I might get dragged to some cold, quiet office filled with scary Public Security Officers...

Cissia: Never getting enough food to feel full, and getting a ton of impossible investigation missions dumped on me...

Cissia: —Poor little Ross!

Is that your own experience?

Cissia: Curious, are you? I won't spill the beans that easily. After all, it's quite the heavy past we're talking about here~

Time's up.

Cissia: Hmph, giving me the silent treatment now? I knew you were lying to me earlier...

Cissia: Lucky for you, I'm not so easily scared. Don't even think about trying!

Investigator: When I pulled you out of that fissure, you were so scared that you wouldn't even touch the can of food I gave you.

Investigator: Who would've guessed I'd be counting on you so soon? Here — take the leash. This time, it's your turn to lead the way.

Ross the Puppy: Woof! Woof woof woof!

The investigator and puppy Ross huddle together for survival behind an abandoned old car.

Cissia holds her breath, eyes locked on the screen.

Little puppy Ross heads out solo with supplies to scout the route, carefully dodging dangers along the way...

As the plot unfolds, Ross finally finds a way out.

Cissia relaxes too, her clenched fists loosening.

You turn your head and notice she's also turned at some point and is looking your way...

So, she's been quietly watching you for a while now...

(Ask Cissia what's up)

(Movie Rank increase): Cissia: I heard a lot of people whispering to each other.; Cissia: So... since you're not whispering to me, doesn't that make you weird?; Cissia: So I gotta talk to you so you aren't weird!; Cissia: Oh, and, in the movie, when the Ethereal was chasing the main characters, I was thinking...; Cissia: If it jumps out of the screen, I'll wrap my tail around you and make a run for it.; Cissia: And since that's what I wanted, I decided to try it out!; Cissia: So— did you feel it? I almost swept you away with me just now~

(Discuss the plot with Cissia)

(Movie Rank increase): Cissia: ...What? Come on, spit it out, spit it out!; Did what happened in the movie just now scare you?; Cissia: O—Of course not! This is just another typical story set in a Hollow, right?; Cissia: But I've never seen those kinds of Ethereals in the Hollow before...; It's called artistic license.; Cissia: License? Why would an Ethereal need a... Oh, I get it!; Cissia: They made them look cute on purpose so they wouldn't scare people~; Cissia seems to have thought of something interesting and keeps tugging eagerly at your sleeve.; Cissia: (‍Wise, if you know where they shoot movies like this, you've gotta hook me up.Wise, if you know where they shoot movies like this, you've gotta hook me up.Text for Wise / Belle, if you know where they shoot movies like this, you've gotta hook me up.Belle, if you know where they shoot movies like this, you've gotta hook me up.Text for Belle‍); Cissia: I'm toootally cut out to be this kind of villain!; Cissia: Hmph, at least if it were me, I wouldn't be making such a mess while eating.

Time's up.

Cissia: ...Y—You! You!

Cissia: Everyone else's whispering in the cinema, how come you've got nothing to say to me?

Cissia: Looks like next time I'll have to poke you a bit harder.

(If no correct choices were made): You finish watching "Stray Paws" together with Cissia...; Cissia: Have you noticed? There are so many strange shots in this movie.; Cissia: Like, even though the protagonist keeps running away, they're just running around in circles in the same place...; Cissia: And get this, I caught a glimpse of the expiration dates on all that food they brought. Nothing but gibberish!; Cissia: It's all made up... so why do movies still claim they're "based on a true story"?; Cissia: So weird, it's so hard to understand... Let's get out of here, my head's starting to kill me!

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

Having companions is really important.

(Movie Rank increase): Cissia: Mhm, you're right, having reliable companions is super important!; Cissia: The investigator in the movie keeps suffering because that useless puppy Ross can't do anything right.; Cissia: If only the investigator could pick up a mercenary like they picked up that dog.; Cissia: Put in a bit more effort, and who knows: you might even pick up a Void Hunter that can slice through Ethereals in one hit...; That's not easy to come by.; Cissia: Hmph, how would you know if you don't try? I'm quite the expert at picking things up.; Cissia: Then we can just chill in the back, soak up some sun, and sip drinks while waiting to snag the spoils~; Cissia: After all, I'm not some idiot who'd knowingly walk into danger and get myself killed.; Cissia: (‍Wise, for my sake, don't you dare do anything like that.Wise, for my sake, don't you dare do anything like that.Text for Wise / Belle, for my sake, don't you dare do anything like that.Belle, for my sake, don't you dare do anything like that.Text for Belle‍)

See, I didn't lie about this not being a horror movie.

(Movie Rank increase): Cissia: I can't understand the middle part at all!; Cissia: Even though the Ethereals never actually hurt them, the investigator was still terrified...; Cissia: Also, I carefully studied the reflection in his eyes...; Cissia: And you know what I saw? There was nothing in front of him at all, let alone an Ethereal.; Cissia: In the end, Little Ross became a rescue dog and joined the Hollow Investigative Association...; Cissia: But honestly, the decor and layout of that place looks more like a Public Security precinct.; Cissia: ...Wait, so you're telling me that little puppy ended up in Public Security's hands?! Oh no!; You're treating this like some detective story.; Cissia: Spotting these details is a piece of cake for me~; Cissia: If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have been dragged in to Public Security...; Cissia: Hmph, let's not talk about such awful things!

Time's up.

Cissia: That movie was pretty good, I totally got it.

Cissia: The morale of the story is... If you ain't got the strength, stay out of the Hollows!

Cissia: These movie theater seats are so comfy... I was getting hungry just chilling here, too bad I didn't bring any snacks~

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached): Cissia: This was a flawless success for our cinema investigation.; Cissia: Not only did we find nothing, but we also wasted so much time!; Cissia: Another day of slacking off under the boss's nose...; Cissia: And I can even apply to come back and investigate again! Sweet!
(Obtained Movie Notes): That first bag of dog food the protagonist gave the pup? I've had it — it's fire!

(After watching "Stray Paws")

Cissia: Poor little Ross. It finally found an owner, and now it has to follow them into even more dangerous Hollows to work... *sigh* Talk about bad luck.

Cissia: Not like my little Chalky here, the one on my neck. Isn't it cute? Ever since Chalky became part of my family, I've never let it go searching for food by itself.

Looks like you're a much better master.

Cissia: ...What "master"? She's family. Chalky might be a snake, but to me, she deserves to live more than a lot of humans do.

Then you'd better take good care of it from now on.

Cissia: Do you even have to ask? Chalky is my most important family member!

Cissia: You've got plenty of Bangboo at home, right? Just think about it that way, and you'll get it.

Cissia: ...Damn it! Looks like it's time to report to the boss. I have to head back now...
No choice, I've gotta go right this second. See you next time!

(Inviting Cissia out again): Cissia: I've seen "Stray Paws" before!; Cissia: Since you're here... Want to watch it with me?; Sure!; Cissia: Sweet~ These special investigations I can bill to my boss are the best. Just sit in a movie theater and call it work. The more, the better.

(Inviting Cissia to a different film): You finish watching the movie with Cissia.
She leans back in her seat and yawns...; Less that she's not into the movie, more that she's WAY too into that comfy chair!; Compared to the others, "Stray Paws" is perhaps the most fitting movie for Cissia.

Watch a movie with Yuzuha

Gravity Cinema

(Upon inviting Yuzuha): Ukinami Yuzuha: I've watched "Don't Touch" on videotape before, but I've never had the chance to see it on the big screen...; Do you want to watch this one, Yuzuha?; That totally feels like your kind of movie.; Ukinami Yuzuha: Hehe, right? Even though every genre has its own charm, the ones that keep you guessing are still the most fun.; Ukinami Yuzuha: It may be a fantasy film, but there's a lot you can really dig into, and that ending... ah, ahem, no spoilers!; Ukinami Yuzuha: Phew, I almost got too excited and spoiled your viewing experience...; Ukinami Yuzuha: Looks like the next showing starts soon... Want to grab tickets and head in?

(While watching "Don't Touch")

(Yuzuha looks pretty excited. Even though she's seen this movie before, she's still looking forward to it...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Since Yuzuha has seen this movie before, maybe we can talk about why she chose to watch it again...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (But, Yuzuha seems to really care about others' viewing experience, so let's avoid asking any questions that might spoil the story.)

You seem to really dig this movie.

(Movie Rank increase): Ukinami Yuzuha: Hehe, is it that obvious...? Well, why else would I be here for a second watch?!; Ukinami Yuzuha: Even though it's a fantasy film, it's got a really cool ghost story vibe to it... That's why I love it!; Ukinami Yuzuha: Just embrace the suspense, don't worry too much about figuring out the truth behind the story~

So, what's this movie about?

Ukinami Yuzuha: Come on, the movie's about to start! Just be patient and watch!

Ukinami Yuzuha: It'd be a real shame if I accidentally spoiled such a great film~

Time's up.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Better just focus on waiting for the movie to start...)

Ukinami Yuzuha: Whoa, you're waiting so quietly for the movie to start... Such patience deserves a compliment~

As the movie begins, the camera slowly pans down to reveal a transparent tentacle...

The moment the tentacle touches a doll sitting on the table, it starts writhing and contracting, gradually morphing into the doll's form...

Dr. Samier leads an investigation team to study these alien creatures that can morph into other objects.

As the doctor examines the aliens' tissue samples through the microscope, you suddenly feel Yuzuha giving you a sneaky poke.

Ukinami Yuzuha: These aliens seem pretty interesting, huh~?

They seem perfect for a prank.

(Movie Rank increase): Ukinami Yuzuha: Wow! That's my Proxy... You knew exactly what I was thinking.; Ukinami Yuzuha: But seriously, a creature that can transform into anything at will... that's what I call the perfect partner for pranks!; I bet Kama will be jealous.; Ukinami Yuzuha: Ah, you've got a point... The last time I went out to play with some cats, the little guy threw a fit for ages once we got back...; Ukinami Yuzuha: But... if this creature could morph into his favorite apple, maybe we could mess with Kama, too?

They're actually kinda creepy.

(Movie Rank increase): Ukinami Yuzuha: Oh? You're such a scaredy-cat~; Ukinami Yuzuha: But you've got a point... if that creature turned into your chopsticks, you'd basically be eating off of it...; Ukinami Yuzuha: If it became your food, you'd just go "nom" and take a bite of it...; Cut it out!; Ukinami Yuzuha: Hehe, scared you again~

Time's up.

Ukinami Yuzuha: I just poked you, but you didn't even notice. Talk about slow reactions!

Ukinami Yuzuha: Lemme guess... Are you super focused on the movie? Or maybe you're deliberately giving me the cold shoulder...

Don't Touch Male Actor: W—Wait... Are these my memories? If so, how can I see myself in third person?

Don't Touch Male Actor: That stirring stick that just popped out of my hand... it was like it had a life of its own...

Don't Touch Male Actor: If this is a dream, it feels way too real... What are these aliens...?

A jumble of bizarre images comes together, creating a dizzying collage.

Dr. Samier's face keeps morphing under the fisheye lens, occasionally transforming into other people's faces...

And around him, objects are dancing, spinning, and swaying where they stand... like a symphony of inanimate objects.

Turns out Dr. Samier, who is leading the investigation team, isn't human at all... but the very same alien life form he was studying...

But did the aliens replace the doctor, or did the doctor never exist to begin with...? Nobody knows.

Looking over, you see Yuzuha's expression gleaming with excitement, her eyes twinkling. She's completely mesmerized as if she's been drawn into the scene...

(Discuss the plot with Yuzuha)

(Movie Rank increase): Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmm... no need to rush, we're getting to the best part!; Ukinami Yuzuha: Though, a lot of people have been confused about this part of the plot... Don't tell me you're feeling a bit lost, too?; Ukinami Yuzuha: People online say the montage here is confusing, but if you ask me, that's exactly what makes this part brilliant...; Ukinami Yuzuha: Everything's all mixed up, blurred together, like we're also part of the scene...; Ukinami Yuzuha: The disorienting, hazy feeling... it's just like a ghost story. Isn't it exciting?

(Wait for Yuzuha to come to her senses)

(Movie Rank increase): The screen fades out, the eerie images return to normal, and Yuzuha lets out a soft sigh, her tense body finally relaxing again.; Ukinami Yuzuha: That was quite the scene just now!; Ukinami Yuzuha: But... hmm...; Wanting to check Yuzuha's expression, you turn your head, and your cheek bumps right into her finger.; In the dim light of the cinema, the young lady glances your way with a smile...; Ukinami Yuzuha: Hehe, I just "touched" you~; Ukinami Yuzuha: If I were some kind of alien, then you should be worried about being com-plete-ly re-placed by me~; Actually, I'm the alien.; Ukinami Yuzuha: Huh? Uh oh, you've completely turned the tables on me!; Ukinami Yuzuha: When you morph into me, just remember to feed Kama on time... and don't let him have too many snacks!

Time's up.

Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmm... This is definitely my favorite part of the movie!

Ukinami Yuzuha: But you seem to be spacing out... Is it not interesting enough for you?

Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmm, looks like next time we watch a movie together, I'll have to pick something more your style...

You finish watching "Don't Touch" with Yuzuha...
(If no correct choices were made): Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmm... Watching this movie again, it somehow feels different from what I remember...; Ukinami Yuzuha: Maybe I couldn't focus and accidentally missed a lot of details...; Ukinami Yuzuha: Ah, looks like everyone's leaving now. I guess this is where we say goodbye, then. Bye-bye~

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

That was a really special movie...

(Movie Rank increase): Ukinami Yuzuha: Hehe. Looks like you're really into it, too~; Ukinami Yuzuha: I thought maybe you'd be like everyone else, whining about how wishy-washy the movie's ending was!; Ukinami Yuzuha: You know what makes thrillers so captivating? It's all about the feeling of suspense.; Ukinami Yuzuha: If you look at it that way, suspense films and ghost stories boil down to the same thing...; Ukinami Yuzuha: Once an urban legend gets cracked, it loses its charm... just like how a movie's not as fun to rewatch once you know the big plot twist...; Ukinami Yuzuha: But movies that leave you hanging keep drawing people back to theaters, searching for answers.; Ukinami Yuzuha: Stories like that are better than something you can figure out after seeing it once, right~?

I didn't quite understand that movie...

(Movie Rank increase): Ukinami Yuzuha: Hmm... Maybe because in this movie, there's more than one truth.; Ukinami Yuzuha: What you choose to believe becomes your truth behind the story...; Ukinami Yuzuha: Just like when the alien decided to believe it was Dr. Samier, it became the doctor.; Ukinami Yuzuha: ...But come to think of it, don't you feel like those aliens are actually pretty similar to humans?; Ukinami Yuzuha: People are shaped by those they interact with, adjusting themselves based on feedback from others around them...; Ukinami Yuzuha: And, if you think about it, our own world is just as pliable and full of changes~

Time's up.

Ukinami Yuzuha: I really love just sitting quietly in the movie theater like this...

Ukinami Yuzuha: There's this feeling of being surrounded by different worlds... different moments in time...

Ukinami Yuzuha: I'm so happy you could watch my favorite movie with me today!

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached): Ukinami Yuzuha: I'm so happy you could watch my favorite movie with me today!; Ukinami Yuzuha: Letting you join me in uncovering the truth behind "Don't Touch" and seeking out the traces of fantasy left on these images...; Ukinami Yuzuha: It somehow feels like I've pulled you a little further into my world~
(Obtained Movie Notes): The truth we're seeking might just be a phantom of "Don't Touch"~

(After watching "Don't Touch"): Ukinami Yuzuha: There are so many things in this world that we'd better "don't touch." Even so, we still choose what to touch...; Ukinami Yuzuha: Choosing to give up on all the new possibilities that come from reaching out to each other, just because you're afraid, feels like such a waste to me.; Ukinami Yuzuha: ...; Ukinami Yuzuha: Ah, sorry~ I just love this film so much that once I start talking about it, I can't stop. Hehe...; I like listening to you talk about it.; Tell me more!; Ukinami Yuzuha: Jeez, buttering me up won't get you any rewards, you know!; Ukinami Yuzuha: I had a great time watching a movie with you. If we get the chance next time, let's come out together again~

(Inviting Yuzuha out again): Ukinami Yuzuha: Whoa! "Don't Touch" is still showing... Do you want to watch it again?; Sure!; Ukinami Yuzuha: Hehe, I've got a feeling there are still details I haven't caught yet. Watch it with me one more time!

(Inviting Yuzuha to watch a different movie): You finish watching the movie with Yuzuha.
She seemed a bit distracted, probably because she didn't get to see the one she wanted to...; Instead of recommending other films, you should watch the one that Yuzuha is interested in: "Don't Touch."

Watch a movie with Lycaon

Think about who you want to share this special Gravitational Storytime playlist with.

Gravity Cinema

(Upon inviting Lycaon): Lycaon: That film, "Nihility"... I wonder if it might interest you?; This one is a disaster-themed tragedy.; Is this the kind of movie you like?; Lycaon: I wouldn't call it a preference, per se—just something I once heard in passing.; Lycaon: "The tragedy lies not in the destruction of the body, but in how thoroughly our supposed 'meaning' is devoured by nothingness."; Lycaon: That line really stuck with me. It seemed like the perfect chance to watch it together with you.; Lycaon: I'm sure watching it with you will lead to some truly profound insights.

(While watching "Nihility")

(Perfect, Lycaon seems really into it.)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (I heard the plot of "Nihility" is really depressing...)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (What would someone as rational as Lycaon make of this?)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Should I test the waters and see what he thinks first...?)

(Let's talk about the movie's background)

(Movie Rank increase): Lycaon: Disaster movies often dig into how fragile order is and put human nature to the test. Definitely something worth paying attention to.; Lycaon: In a speculative work that depicts the twilight of a civilization, a tragic ending is all but inevitable.; Lycaon: But being able to rationally dissect the root causes of the tragedy with you is, in itself, a valuable thought exercise.

Do these kinds of movies get you down?

(Movie Rank increase): Lycaon: You needn't worry. I won't let the somber atmosphere keep me quiet and dispirited.; Lycaon: I'd like to think I'm good at keeping my emotions in check. After all, restraint is a fundamental virtue.; Lycaon: As a member of Victoria Housekeeping, one is expected to be well-versed in a broad range of subjects...; Lycaon: ...So that I may offer you just the right companionship while you enjoy the film.

Time's up.

(Better not bother him for now...)

Lycaon: Looks like there are still some popcorn crumbs on the carpet that haven't been cleaned up...

Lycaon: Ah... my apologies, when I'm with you, I should keep my attention on the film that's about to start.

The film opens with calm shots depicting a bustling yet rigid urban landscape.

Beneath the orderly facade, an indescribable sense of oppression permeates.

At an academic conference, the protagonist clearly presented her theory to a room full of elites, only to be met with contemptuous laughter.

The camera slowly fixes on her isolated figure — her "wild fantasy" quickly cost her all credibility.

She returns to her empty home, greeted only by the mechanical assistant her late mother left behind.

Weary, the protagonist rests her head on the mechanical girl's cold shoulder, the faint whirring of machinery humming softly from the speakers.

Lycaon: One with insights ahead of their era often meets not understanding first, but solitude...

Thankfully, she has someone by her side.

(Movie Rank increase): Lycaon: Indeed... It matters not whether one be flesh or forged steel, once you've chosen someone, you follow them without reservation.; Lycaon: Such loyalty itself may be enough to challenge the nihility.; His voice is low, carrying a note of complexity.; As if he is also examining, through the movie, the same principles he holds dear.

The road ahead of her won't be easy.

(Movie Rank increase): Lycaon: Loyal to truth, yet sidelined by others... Order has always rejected dissent like this.; Lycaon: When all retreat is cut off, moving forward becomes the only answer. But the cost...; Must be pretty heavy.; Lycaon: Indeed. Let us hope our protagonist has enough grit and determination to hang on until the moment she can clear her name.

Time's up.

Lycaon: Forgive me, I've spoken too much. I hope it didn't spoil your experience.

Lycaon: Let's continue watching. What happens next deserves our full attention.

Nihility Male Scientist: Stop terrorizing us with poetic metaphors... Science needs data, not wild imaginations!

Nihility Protagonist: This isn't a gamble of probability, but a countdown that's already begun. We can't just turn a blind eye because it's beyond our understanding.

Nihility Protagonist: When disaster strikes, let's hope those data models you're so proud of ring the alarm before my "delusions" do!

The movie reaches its climax as disaster fully erupts, the city is swallowed by nihility, and civilized order ceases to exist.

The protagonist and the mechanical girl activate the final device in the underground lab, trying to turn the tide.

A massive wave of energy comes rushing in, and the mechanical girl resolutely channels the overloaded energy into herself.

In the final moment, she looks at protagonist, her mechanical arm beginning to disintegrate in the blinding light...

And for the first time, her optical sensors simulate an expression of tenderness on her mechanical body.

Lycaon seems to be moved by that too.

You can clearly see his jawline tensing up, as if he's holding something back.

(Say something to break the silence)

(Movie Rank increase): Lycaon: Apologies for letting you witness me in such an... uncomposed state.; This part moved me as well.; Lycaon: Sacrifice... Seems like this is what she chose in the end, her ultimate interpretation of "loyalty."; The mechanical girl dissipates completely. At the same time, the protagonist is pushed from the basement and collapses at the edge of a world succumbing to annihilation.; In the sky, the faint ray of hope they created together is swallowed by the endless void.; Lycaon's tense shoulders gradually relax. His tail sweeps lightly across the chair in the shadows.; He let out a slow, barely perceptible breath.; Lycaon: Such an ending... Even though I foresaw it rationally, emotionally it remains difficult to... digest immediately.; Lycaon: That said, this story still affirmed my belief that once you find something worth fighting for, it is worth protecting at any cost.; Lycaon: Even if the ending leads to "nihility," the journey to fight against emptiness holds the greatest meaning.; Lycaon: Much like watching this film with you today— Even knowing in advance it would be a tragedy...; Lycaon: Being able to witness, contemplate, and resonate with you — this process itself has illuminated this moment.; Lycaon: To face this "known" weight together with you, and draw strength from it to move forward—; Lycaon: Perhaps that is our smallest, most steadfast way to resist any form of "nihility" in the real world.

(Wait for him to calm down on his own)

(Movie Rank increase): The mechanical girl dissipates completely. At the same time, the protagonist is pushed from the basement and collapses at the edge of a world succumbing to annihilation.; In the sky, the faint ray of hope they created together is swallowed by the endless void.; The prolonged white light on the screen plunges the theater into a long silence.; Lycaon doesn't speak right away, as if observing a moment of silent mourning.; When he finally spoke, his voice had regained its composure.; Lycaon: In the end, even the noblest resolve of one individual couldn't reverse the torrent as collective consciousness came crashing down.; Lycaon: The power of this work lies in forcing viewers to confront the most fundamental contradiction.; Lycaon: It is not about "whether success is possible," but "whether it is worthwhile."; Lycaon: It's about order, about loyalty, about... the meaning of persistence in a battle that's doomed to fail.; Lycaon: Thank you for watching this thought-provoking work with me. I was truly moved.

Time's up.

The mechanical girl dissipates completely. At the same time, the protagonist is pushed from the basement and collapses at the edge of a world succumbing to annihilation.

In the sky, the faint ray of hope they created together is swallowed by the endless void.

After a moment, Lycaon finally seems to come back to his senses.

Lycaon: Apologies, I just needed a moment to reorganize some rather turbulent thoughts...

Lycaon: I hope this didn't affect your enjoyment of the scene.

You finish watching "Nihility" with Lycaon...
(If no correct choices were made): Lycaon: A truly thought-provoking piece of work.; Lycaon: Sorry, I seem to have been a little too absorbed in my own thoughts and did not engage with you as much as I should have.; Lycaon: Victoria Housekeeping still has some matters requiring my attention. Please allow me to take my leave.; Lycaon: I look forward to spending more pleasant and relaxing moments with you.

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

You finish watching "Nihility" with Lycaon.
The world isn't saved in the end.
The final pure white on the screen seems to drain all sound and color from the theater, leaving only heavy silence.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (What's on Lycaon's mind? The end of a civilization, or that hopeless loyalty?)

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (He looks more solemn than usual. Maybe I should say something...)

It's a heavy but important movie.

(Movie Rank increase): Lycaon: Yes, it is a work that completely denies hope...; Lycaon: But it also compels the viewer to contemplate the meaning of any effort in the face of absolute nihility.; Lycaon: What struck me most in this movie wasn't the disaster itself.; Lycaon: But how our protagonist, the scientist, chose to bear the weight of the world alone after her warnings to humanity went unheeded.; Lycaon: And the loyalty displayed by her mechanical companion... Theirs was a friendship transcending all programmed parameters.; Lycaon: To walk a path you know leads nowhere, and to see it through to the very end — that resolve alone is far beyond any measure of victory or defeat.; Lycaon: Thank you for accompanying me to see this film. It carried much weight, but I found it to be a precious and profound warning.; Lycaon: It has reinforced my conviction that protecting such "ordinary" moments of watching films together is a mission we cannot fail.

The ending seems a bit too hopeless...

Lycaon: True. An individual's brilliance could not stop the collective's downfall — that's the core of this tragedy...

Lycaon: But holding one's ground in a battle destined to lose — that's precisely what defines our love and dignity as human beings.

Lycaon: Please do not worry. No matter how dark the story on screen may be, our reality is full of hope.

Lycaon: After all, the very meaning of our encounter is to stand against this nihility.

Time's up.

Lycaon: "The tragedy lies not in the destruction of the body, but in how thoroughly our supposed 'meaning' is devoured by nothingness..."

Lycaon: A cruel ending indeed...

Lycaon: Thank you for inviting me to watch this movie. It was truly enlightening.

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached): Lycaon: In collective chaos, the light of reason shines as faintly as a firefly...; Lycaon: But those who remained steadfast in their duty and loyalty until the very end — their stance itself was the strongest response to "nihility."; Lycaon: Thank you for sharing this profound moment with me.
(Obtained Movie Notes): One person standing firm in total chaos, that alone rejects the void. A work born from despair that still lights the way to hope.

(After watching "Nihility"): Lycaon: A work that portrays ultimate nothingness, yet somehow makes you want to cling even more tightly to what's real once you step away from the screen...; Lycaon: Like a cup of tea at just the right temperature, and a companion worthy of your loyalty.; Lycaon: Being able to share this time with you is a blessing in itself.; The pleasure's all mine.; You're a great company.; Lycaon: It's an honor to hear you say that. If you ever come across another thought-provoking work like this and need a companion, I'd be more than happy to join you.; Lycaon: Things were a bit rushed this time. I didn't have time to prepare properly. Next time, I'll bring homemade cookies and tea.; Lycaon: Perfect to enjoy together in a sunlit spot after a film that really lingers, to soothe and settle the mind.; Lycaon: Even though "Nihility" paints the bleakest picture, but...; Lycaon: Being able to witness it with you and think together about how to resist this nihility—that alone is enough to drive away much of the chill.

(Inviting Lycaon out again): Lycaon: I'm surprised they're still showing "Nihility"...; Lycaon: Want to watch it together again?; Lycaon: That would be lovely. Classics are classics for a reason. They're meant to be revisited again and again.

(Inviting Lycaon to a different movie): You finish watching the movie with Lycaon.
He didn't comment much, just kept up his usual polished manners.; Maybe this flick didn't resonate with him. Better pick "Nihility" next time.

Watch a movie with Sweety

Think about who you want to share this special Gravitational Storytime playlist with.

Gravity Cinema

(Upon inviting Sweety): Sweety: Oh, little Master, is that you? Running into an old friend far from home is an even nicer surprise than I expected.; Sweety: The clerks at Simmer just gave me a few movie tickets. They said there's a good film showing and urged me to come take a look!; Sweety, did you just come from hot pot?; You get free movie tickets with hot pot?; Sweety: Oh, you've got it wrong. My shop does business with Simmer, and since it's Gilded Carrot Day, the boss sent me here to help keep the relationship up.; Sweety: It's all about give and take. See, I traded a few of our signature pastries for some movie tickets!; Sweety: Oh, right, I've got quite a few tickets. I was just wondering who to watch with. If you don't mind, would you do me the honor?; Sure!; Let's watch it together.; Sweety: That's all I needed to hear. Since you run a video store, little Master, you must know your films. If you're up for it, I'll leave the picks entirely to you!; You're too kind.; What kind of movies do you feel like watching, Sweety?; Sweety: Hmm... I'm happy to go with whatever you pick, but since it's a holiday, I'm in the mood for something fun, upbeat, and festive... Got any recommendations?; Then let's go with "Small Body Big Crisis"!; Sweety: Alright, I trust a longtime regular like you. You've got good taste~

(While watching "Small Body Big Crisis")

(Sweety glances around the interior with curious eyes, looking pretty pleased with what she sees.)

Sweety: This cinema's decor is both practical and elegant. It's no less impressive than the banquet hall at Yum Cha Sin.

Sweety: And the snacks those people are munching on? It's gotta be... popcorn, right?

Sweety: I've heard customers mention it, but this is my first time seeing it for myself. It smells delightful. I bet it tastes great, too!

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Sweety doesn't seem to visit the cinema much, but she looks pretty interested in the popcorn...)

Want to grab some popcorn?

(Movie Rank increase): Sweety: I wouldn't say I'm dying to try it, but it is pretty intriguing. After all, this type of snack is hard to come by where I'm from.; Sweety: Compared to the delicate and refreshing snacks of Failume Heights, folks here in Janus Quarter seem to prefer their treats with a much richer flavor profile.; Sweety: Speaking of which... To improve on Yum Cha Sin's selection, my boss actually sent me out to sample flavors from other locations.; Sweety: But every place has its own vibe. I can't fully understand New Eridu's food culture in just a few days...; Sweety: Like this popcorn, for example. I never got a chance to try it!; Want to try it? It's on me!; Sweety: Oh my, thanks for the offer~; Sweety: But if I go out to get snacks right now, I'd probably miss the best parts of the movie. Maybe next time.

I think the banquet hall is more elegant.

Sweety: Oh my, are you trying to flatter me? Hearing that from you really puts my mind at ease~

Sweety: The banquet hall is the face of our shop, after all. Plenty of local big shots pass through there.

Sweety: That's why I personally handled the lights, decorations, and etiquette training for the staff. I didn't dare slack off even for a second!

Time's up.

Sweety: No talking while eating or resting, and no yapping during movies... Guess that's what you'd expect from a Yunkui Summit disciple...

Sweety: I'll just wait for the movie to start, then.

Bob turns into a Bangboo, while the Bangboo becomes human... An unexpected body swap flips their lives upside down.

At first, the swap causes endless chaos on both ends... The audience can't help but crack up.

Amidst all the laughter, Sweety seems a little out of place as she quietly contemplates...

Sweety: Everyone laughing and gasping together... It kinda reminds me of going to the open-air cinema back when I was a kid...

Open-air cinema?

(Movie Rank increase): Sweety: I wonder if you've ever experienced something like that. It was super popular back in the day~; Sweety: Back then, there weren't many theaters around, so everyone would gather in the plaza to catch a flick...; Sweety: Movie theaters are pretty quiet, right? But outdoor screenings are a totally different vibe. They're always super lively!; Sweety: Snacking on sunflower seeds, chatting away, laughing together... It's chaotic for sure, but it evokes a warm, fuzzy feeling.; Sweety: But when the plot gets emotional, everyone quiets down all at once...; Sweety: Back then, I'd always quietly wipe away my tears in the dark. I was so afraid that someone would notice and make fun of me.; So you've got that side to you too, huh?; Sweety: Look at me running my mouth! You've got me spilling my childhood anecdotes just like that...; Sweety: It didn't destroy my image as the "model Yum Cha Sin employee" in your eyes, did it?

(State that you prefer watching movies indoors)

(Movie Rank increase): Sweety: That makes sense. You're a video store manager, so you've probably got all kinds of professional setups at home, right?; Sweety: I once passed by your little stall outside Suibian Temple and was totally shocked!; Sweety: There's a ton of movies... If it were me, I couldn't possibly finish watching them even in a month... Don't tell me you've seen every single one!; Sweety: Looks like I need to put in a little more effort...; Sweety: Otherwise, I won't be able to keep up when we're chatting. That would be embarrassing!

Time's up.

Sweety pauses for a moment, then gets swept up in the joyful atmosphere. A smile spreads across her face.

Bob: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne! Ehn-ne! (I'm actually a human. I don't know how I became a Bangboo!)

Helpful Woman: Hehe, daydreaming again, little Bangboo?

Helpful Woman: Come here, my squishy little cupcake! Aww, you're so soft... You were born to be petted and rubbed...

Bob: Ehn-ne, ehn-ne... (Why can't anyone in this world understand a man's... I mean, a Bangboo's words...?)

Bob finally tracks down the Bangboo possessing his body. Turns out, it lost his job and ended up slinging plates at a diner.

Being terrible at communication, it always ends up stirring trouble. Yet it somehow always manages to unexpectedly pull off a flawless fix every single time.

Bob keeps pretending to be a customer just to mess with it, but as a Bangboo, he's the one who gets the short end of the stick. He keeps raging, and there's nothing he can do about it.

Glancing over, Sweety is laughing so hard that tears are coming out from the corners of her eyes.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Maybe Sweety would rather talk about the movie than chat about work?)

Have you dealt with customers like that?

(Movie Rank increase): Sweety: As a model employee, I definitely can't go around judging customers too harshly~; Sweety: But...; Sweety turns her head and leans in closer.
Her eyes crinkle with a smile as her pupils catch the glow from the screen, making them sparkle bright.; We finally get to catch a movie today, let's not talk about work!; More than just someone from Yum Cha Sin, I'd rather you think of me as a friend you catch movies with~

Body swapping looks really interesting...

(Movie Rank increase): Sweety: There are plenty of movies about people swapping bodies... but I can't say I've seen too many where people swap with a Bangboo.; Sweety: But this idea is pretty clever. It dodges the clichéd setups while keeping the story tight and well-paced.; Sweety: If I swapped bodies with my picky little Bangboo, everyone would be in for a rough time...; Sweety: That little guy's got a nasty temper. If we made him work at Yum Cha Sin, it would have customers fuming left and right!; Sweety: Speaking of, I just remembered that the Bangboo you sent to run the stall was really well-behaved... It goes by Twentie, right?; Sweety: If only it could swap bodies with that little troublemaker of mine. I've never even seen it sit still for a second!

Time's up.

Sweety: Hmm..? Why aren't you laughing? Do you find this story boring?

Sweety: Looks like you've got a pretty high threshold for humor. Don't tell me... Yunkui Summit's regular training includes a "try not to laugh" challenge?

(If no correct choices were made): You finish watching the movie with Sweety.; Sweety:Ah, the movie's over... That was really hilarious!; Sweety:See ya later~

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

You finish watching "Small Body Big Crisis" with Sweety.
In the end, Bob and the Bangboo return to their regular daily lives.

But this daily life is different from before.
They've reclaimed something precious in their hearts, a passion gained from living another life. Thus, this opens up a brand new chapter in their stories.

The end credits start to roll, and the audience begins filtering out of the cinema. Sweety stays in her seat, a faint smile still lingering on her face.

(ProtagonistProtagonistWise / Belle): (Sweety's still glued to her seat. Guess she really enjoyed the movie... Maybe I should ask for her opinion?)

What do you think of the movie?

(Movie Rank increase): Sweety: Hmm... If you're looking for some deep insight or super detailed analysis, you're probably gonna be disappointed~; Sweety: My take? It's loud, it's lively, it's got heart. It left me with a sense of happiness inside.; What a vivid description!; Sweety: Hehe~ You think so too? I thought you'd find my take too simple!; Sweety: To me, movies are like dim sum. More than some logical analysis, it's the taste that hits your tongue that matters the most~; Sweety: This movie is like a plate of crispy, sweet almond cookies — You can scarf down piece after piece without feeling an ounce of guilt.

This comedy's got some dark humor to it...

(Movie Rank increase): Sweety: Hmm... So what you're saying is, at its core, this film is actually a tragedy?; Sweety: It's precisely because things are so bleak that the desolate Bob and the abandoned Bangboo came up with the idea to swap bodies...; Sweety: That kinda makes sense... You're really insightful!; Sweety: But the way I see it, what they really found out was that the other party's life wasn't any easier than their own after they swapped bodies.; Sweety: "Maybe I'd be happier as a Bangboo," or "maybe I'd have more dignity if I were human"...; Sweety: After stepping into each other's shoes, Bob and the Bangboo realized all those fantasies they'd projected onto each other were just a bunch of nonsense.; Sweety: And they've finally figured out how to live life as their true selves again.; True, their attitudes are actually pretty positive...; Sweety: Yeah! So don't overthink it. Just walk out of here with their laughter echoing in your heart~

Time's up.

Sweety: You're not gonna share your thoughts? Or have you seen it so many times that it doesn't quite hit the same anymore?

Sweety: Hmm... Then maybe I should have picked a film you haven't seen yet...

Thanks for watching it with me. That was an interesting movie~

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached): Sweety: It wasn't a big-budget blockbuster, nor was it a martial arts piece that is all the rage in Waifei Peninsula.; Sweety: It won't stick with you forever, but it provided a carefree and enjoyable time while it lasted.; Sweety: Thanks for the recommendation. This little "snack" really hits the spot~
(Obtained Movie Notes): When you've had your fill of the main course, don't forget to treat yourself to some dessert every now and then~

(After watching "Small Body Big Crisis"): Sweety: Since we've already shared this movie experience, little Master, I hope you will come by again~ We'll do our best to give you a warm welcome every time.; So that's why you gave me those movie tickets...; Guess there's no such thing as a free lunch!; Sweety: Oh, come on! I really did want to watch a movie with you, little Master, and I really do want you to come by Yum Cha Sin more often too~; Sweety: After all, I really treasure the bond we share. Give and take is what keeps a friendship going strong, don't you think?

(Inviting Sweety out again): Sweety: Watching a movie with a regular customer... It's an oddly new experience.; Sweety: There are still tickets left. How about another movie?; That's exactly what I was thinking.; Sweety: Friends really come through when you're away from home. Good thing you're here, or I'd be totally lost.

(Inviting Sweety to a different movie): You finish watching the movie with Sweety.
She kept sneaking yawns the whole time... guess the story didn't grab her?; Next time, let's pick something lighter and more upbeat.

Watch a movie with the Angels of Delusion

Think about who you want to share this special Gravitational Storytime playlist with.

Gravity Cinema

(Upon inviting the Angels of Delusion): Nangong Yu: Manager, over here~
We already got the tickets, and it's "Dreamland Journey"! Sunna and Aria spent ages searching Inter-Knot and thought it would be perfect for us to watch together.; Sunna: Mm-hmm! We went through a ton of movies, narrowed them down to a shortlist, and then had a fierce three-way vote before finally settling on this one!; Aria: Nangong thought the movie's runtime was perfect, and it wouldn't cut into her gaming time back home. Sunna figured a fairy-tale movie was the safest pick; even if it didn't blow everyone away, at least nobody would hate it...; Nangong Yu: As for Aria, she hadn't seen any of them, so she was interested in all of them and just went along with the vote.; Aria: What do you think, Manager? If you want to choose a different movie, we can always hold another vote.; I like this one.; I'm voting for it too!; Nangong Yu: Then it's a full vote! The Angels of Delusion are heading to Dreamland with the Manager.; Nangong Yu: ...Oh, right, Manager, close your eyes and pick a movie ticket—we couldn't get four seats together, but you can draw one first~; You casually pull out a ticket from the row of movie tickets Nangong Yu is holding.
Nangong Yu keeps one for herself and gives the remaining ones to Sunna and Aria.; Nangong Yu: Movie partner lottery results are in—Manager and I sit together, while Sunna and Aria sit together. Let's go!

(While watching "Dreamland Journey")

(Beside you, Nangong Yu adjusts her posture, settling into the most relaxed position to enjoy the movie.)

(Nangong Yu tugs on your sleeve.)

Nangong Yu: Before deciding to see the movie, we read a lot of reviews, and they all said it was good.

Nangong Yu: Right! Right! Do you want me to send you those reviews, Manager?

That's a spoiler, isn't it?

Nangong Yu: You got me~ Okay, okay, I'll black out all the key words before sending it to you...

Then it probably isn't worth reading.

Nangong Yu: Well, even if I secretly write bad things about you in the blacked-out parts... you'll never know.

Nangong Yu: Then again, even if I snuck in things like "I like you, Manager," you wouldn't find out either~

(Sometimes, it's impossible to follow Nangong Yu's train of thought...)

(But she's definitely interested in this movie. Should we keep talking about it?)

(Talk about the new song...)

(Movie Rank increase): Nangong Yu: New songs huh... Sunna's actually been writing a lot lately.; Nangong Yu: But she basically crumpled 'em all into paper balls and stuffed the trash can full–; Nangong Yu: Aria snuck a couple back and had me listen while she hummed along to the sheet music— gotta say, they weren't bad at all.; Nangong Yu: At this rate, just give Sunna a couple more days, she should finally have something she's happy with real soon...; Nangong Yu: Once she does, I'll have Aria record a few lines and send them to you for a listen, yeah?

(Talk about the movie...)

(Movie Rank increase): Nangong Yu: Before deciding to watch this movie, I had a dream about it last night...; Nangong Yu: In my dream, this movie's producer actually came to us to sing the theme song!; Nangong Yu: Aria and Sunna were so happy and both screamed with joy... and then I woke up.; Nangong Yu: Even though the dream felt pretty average, I guess it's still a good sign–

Time's up.

Nangong Yu: So... wanna bet on whether Sunna and Aria will end up crying their eyes out over the movie?

As soon as Nangong Yu finishes speaking, a gentle yet melancholic opening melody drifts from the screen.

"Wow..." You can even faintly hear gasps from Sunna and Aria.

Wow...

Nangong Yu: They're getting emotional before the bet even started... *sigh*

The movie begins... Lilian accidentally enters a mysterious wonderland and embarks on a journey through the fairy tale world.

The red rabbit Baron hops to her side, bowing politely, drawing a smile from the audience.

...But Nangong Yu's smile doesn't look quite so innocent.

Looks like Lilian's in trouble.

(Movie Rank increase): Nangong Yu: The rabbit Baron appearing out of nowhere... the flowers in the garden, alive but silent...; Nangong Yu: Everything about this place is screaming trap.; Nangong Yu: The director's camera work is so detailed. I completely feel that sense of crisis.; Nangong Yu: ...Look! Lilian really did fall down the rabbit hole!; Nangong Yu: With the amount of movies you've watched, Manager, you probably already guessed what happens next, right? Does this count as a spoiler?; Actually, you really did spoil it for me...; Nangong Yu: Oops, sorry about that~

You wanna yank the rabbit's tail?

(Movie Rank increase): Nangong Yu: ...Eh, you got me.; Nangong Yu: Can't blame anyone for wanting to pinch something that looks that squishy–

Time's up.

Nangong Yu: I feel like Sunna and Aria would really like this part...

Nangong Yu: This music really sets the mood perfectly. I've gotta get my hands on that soundtrack when I get back.

Lilian: "In a fairytale wonderland, an adventure awaits"...

Lilian: Yeah, right... Even kids wouldn't fall for that kind of stuff anymore.

Lilian: That was me, just another boring adult, unable to believe fairy tales and all that "happily ever after" stuff... until I came here.

Lilian: Fairy tales are real. Dreamland adventures do exist...

Lilian: And that's the kind of story I'm going to write — stories that bring children hope and happiness!

In this cinematic wonderland, even the colors come alive and flow.

Countless paper butterflies fly toward Lilian, catching her shoulders and carrying her into the sky.

The freedom and beauty of this scene draw soft gasps of admiration from the audience.

Nangong Yu is so focused she's completely forgotten about the chocolate in her hand... Looks like it's about to melt.

(Use a tissue to take the chocolate from her.)

(Movie Rank increase): Nangong Yu: Uh... thanks.; Nangong Yu: I was so engrossed in the moview, I forgot I was still holding the snack Sunna gave me...; Nangong Yu: Hold on, now that you mention it...; Nangong Yu: Just as expected, Sunna and Aria haven't eaten their chocolates either!; Nangong Yu: But how should I put this... somehow this gives off a "Angels of Delusion are all idiots" vibe...; Nangong Yu: Manager, you've gotta keep this secret! Forever! Okay?

So even Nangong has moments like this...)

Nangong Yu: Oh~ Don't worry. I came prepared with tissues— They're coming in handy now~

Nangong Yu: The visual effects are better than I imagined... I wonder how much they spent on post-production?

Nangong Yu: Time to check Sunna's piggy bank when we get back and come up with a plan to fatten it up a bit...

Nangong Yu: Oh, Manager, what I just said— don't let Sunna and Aria know~

Time's up.

Nangong Yu: ...Ugh, the chocolate melted in my hand...

Nangong Yu: I gotta grab a tissue from Sunna's backpack quick and clean this up!

You finish watching "Dreamland Journey" with the Angels of Delusion...
(If no correct choices were made): Nangong Yu: So it ended on kind of an open note, huh... Feels a bit unfinished.; Sunna: Where did that rabbit Baron go in the end? It's kinda bugging me.; Aria: I'm more curious about the middle part— where did the rabbits go after the rabbit hole collapsed?; Nangong Yu: So eeryone has parts they didn't understand... Sure enough, you really do need to focus when watching movies~

(If rank Fellow Movie Fans or higher was reached)

You finish watching "Dreamland Journey" with the Angels of Delusion...

Even fairy tales hold profound truths.

(Movie Rank increase): Nangong Yu: Too bad~ I've never really been interested in "profound truths," no matter how they're presented.; Nangong Yu: All I want is for Lilian to have a happy ending in this wonderland. That's enough for me.; Nangong Yu: Plus Sunna and Aria seem to be having a great time too.; Nangong Yu: Isn't that what fairy tales are all about? Making people believe the world can be a better place?; Nangong Yu: You're smiling too. That means... you agree with my point, right~

Even fairy tales can be moving sometimes.

(Movie Rank increase): Nangong Yu: Cause the visuals and music really complement each other so well.; Nangong Yu: Sometimes, even though I know it's not real, those feelings start to tug at my heartstrings...; Nangong Yu: *sigh* And then I end up getting all emotional~; Nangong Yu: But then, looking at Sunna and Aria's expressions, they seem genuinely touched... That's nice too.

Time's up.

Nangong Yu: I could definitely watch more movies like this one...

Nangong Yu: This is the essence of feel-good films, right? Everyone gets a happy ending and it puts you in a good mood.

Nangong Yu: The visuals and music were pretty good, so I wouldn't say it was a waste of time–

(If rank Popcorn Partners or higher was reached): Nangong Yu: The one-sided collab between the cinema and Angels of Delusion — perfectly concluded~
(Obtained Movie Notes): Pretty solid way to kill time~ At least it put me in a good mood after.

(After watching "Dreamland Journey"): Nangong Yu: Thanks for sticking with us through the whole movie, Manager.; Are you heading back to training?; Sunna: That was the plan, but inspiration just hit... I really want to head back and get this song down now!; Nangong Yu: *sigh* I knew it.; Aria: No worries, no worries! Nangong and I can head off to dance practice first!; Nangong Yu: Yeah, next time you visit us, Manager, you might get to hear our brand‑new fantasy‑style song. Sunna, you're not gonna bail on us, are you?; Sunna: Don't worry! I won't let you down this time!

(Inviting the Angels of Delusion out again): Nangong Yu: After watching the movie, Sunna got a spark of inspiration for a song. We'd better watch it again before it slips away.; Sunna: Yeah! I feel like watching it one more time would help me catch some of the details...; Aria: No worries, I've noted all the moments Sunna mentioned, and I'll pay special attention to those shots too!; Count me in for the movie crew.; Nangong Yu: Then let's head out~

(Inviting the Angels of Delusion to a different movie): Watched this movie with the Angels of Delusion...
Halfway through, they couldn't help whispering to each other, gradually forgetting they were even watching a movie.; Next time, try "Dreamland Journey"—fantasy tales like this one look super appealing!
