520

At first, I had no idea what the 520 celebration was all about. In Finland, however, we celebrate name days, which are basically like mini birthdays—you might receive cards, gifts, cake, and other little treats. Coincidentally, 520 happened to fall on my name day, so I just pretended the boys were congratulating me because of that. xD 

But yeah, I have to admit that celebrating Lovers' Day sounds a lot more romantic. If you're like me and had never heard of 520 before, it's basically a Chinese celebration of love, often compared to Valentine's Day. The numbers "520" are pronounced in a way that sounds similar to "I love you" in Chinese, which is where the celebration gets its name. 💕 


I genuinely like this R card set. The soft pink color palette is lovely, and the little sketchbook doodles are just too adorable! You can get a closer look at all the drawings in the pictures at the end of this blog post.

I also have a short event translation to share—this time it's Lucien's story from the GTSH section. For this time I decided to try a slightly different format. I usually add the translated text directly onto the video, but this time I've separated the two. Simply press Play, then scroll through the text box beside the video at the same pace. I know it may be a little trickier to follow the dialogue this way, but it's also much less time-consuming than editing subtitles into the video.


Translation

It was already night when the meeting ended. As I walked out of the building, I couldn't help but shiver from the cool night breeze.

I took out my phone, and the latest message was still the one Lucien sent last night: "It will be colder tomorrow, remember to wear more clothes." I sighed.

I canceled the date because I had to go on a last-minute business trip...yet I still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Streetlights illuminate the night, and couples snuggle together, celebrating this special day.

But all I could do was look down at my phone, trying to figure out how to hide my low spirits.

After finally pressing the "send" button, I took a step forward, only to bump right into the person in front of me!

Kasa: I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying attention...

I quickly began to apologize, until a soft chuckle reached my ears.

I looked up and saw someone I hadn't expected.

Kasa: Lucien! How could you...?

Lucien: If I said I was just passing by, would you believe me?

I was so happy that I didn't have time to say anything when I saw Lucien smiling as he took his phone out of his pocket.

Lucien: So, it seems someone just sent me a message.

Kasa: Ah! Wait, no—

Lucien: "Happy 520! The meeting went smoothly, and I'm super happy right now."

How embarrassing! I covered my face, unwilling to look at Lucien any longer.

The next second, his hand gently moved my hands away, and Lucien's slightly curved eyes were looking at me.

Lucien: Let me see... Hmm... it seems you're not as happy as you said.

Choice: I don't want you to worry.

Kasa: I... didn't want you to worry.

Lucien: I came to you precisely because I didn't want to worry.

I looked at Lucien, about to say something more, when my stomach suddenly growled.

What's going on?! What kind of embarrassing combo is this today...?!

Lucien: Was it because you were preparing meeting materials that you didn't have time to eat?

Kasa: Yeah...

I nodded, blushing, and Lucien's smile seemed to deepen.

Lucien: Let's go have dinner now.

Kasa: But on a day like this, I doubt any restaurant still has a table available without a reservation.

Lucien: Don't worry, I've already made a reservation at the restaurant.

Kasa: Ah?

I looked at Lucien in surprise. Night had completely fallen, and every streetlamp cast its light upon the person in front of me.

Lucien: Kasa seems a little happier?

Kasa: ...Yes! I'm genuinely happy now, I'm not kidding!

Lucien smiled and gently took my hand.

A warm current slowly crept up from my fingertips, warming my cold hands.

Lucien: Your hands are a bit cold; it seems you didn't listen to me and wear more clothes.

Lucien: As punishment...

Before I could react, his palm was already covering my eyes.

The soft touch was like snowflakes falling in spring and summer, landing on my lips and melting this special day into a warm current.

Shaw's Five Seconds of Glory

Hi, it's me casually jumping +10 levels with every guy after speedrunning basically the entirety of Season 2 in a single week. XD I just had to capture this rare moment when Shaw was in first place for a few seconds (I collected his points first so he could enjoy the spotlight lol). Luci is probably jealous that I never celebrate his achievements lol

The site is finally open!

Today I'm officially opening the blog to the public, so hello and welcome, everyone! Sorry about the rather gloomy blog name and appearance. As you probably guessed, I came up with both during my grieving period. I may update them later, since this blog has become much more than a place for old memories: Over time, it has also turned into a record of my gaming journey after EOS.  I recommend checking out the info page first, and to make it easier to keep up with new content, you can find information about the latest updates behind the calendar icon . My posting schedule varies quite a bit. Sometimes you may not hear from me for a month, while other times I might publish several posts in a single week.  On the left sidebar, you'll find icons familiar from the game, and by clicking them, you can browse the content available in each section (if you're viewing the site on your phone, you'll first need to tap the button in the top-left corner to open the sidebar). I general...

Summer Event / Haunted Manor - Kiro's Story Translations

Image
Kiro's turn! Intro: Old Shadow in Painting Translation Kasa: I'm back—— I was met with a long silence. I had a vague idea of what was going on, so I gently placed the shopping bag in the entryway and cautiously peeked into the living room. On the sofa scattered with countless scripts, Kiro was curled up in the corner, sleeping quietly. A cold, soft light shone on his face; the old movie on the screen had finished playing for who knows how many times, and was now stuck on the poster on the cover— The person in the play, dressed in a long robe with flowing sleeves, sat on a carved chair, his eyes lowered as if still immersed in the play. I tiptoed to his side, and seeing the dark circles under his eyes, I sighed with a pang of heartache. Kiro recently took on a film role, playing Ruan Shao, a legendary opera singer from the early 20th century. Ruan Shao was at the height of his fame, but disappeared abruptly at the peak of his career, like a good show that had just ...
