5 6 301 The floor is tiled with dark, dirty, moldy wood, squeaking every time she steps on it as if it is going to break any moment.
6 7 301 Confetti can be found among the dirt in the corner of the living room and on the spiderwebs on the roof, ironically celebrating the gloomy idleness.
7 8 301 A black moth flaps its wings. It looks exactly like the one No. 21 first saw when you entered the town.
8 9 301 It flies past the broken chair, the bodies of dead Corrupted, and the darkened bloodstain on the wall, stopping at a piece of colorful paper hanging from the roof.
16 17 301 By the time it spreads its wings again, it has transformed into a beautiful, vivid butterfly. Wherever it goes, the crimson stains and cobwebs gradually fade and vanish into the wall.
17 18 301 The patterns on the wall start to brighten and clear up.
18 19 301 The butterfly passes the long dining table, and the candles light up one by one, their tiny flames quivering, warmly illuminating the room.
19 20 301 Pleasant and happy sounds come out of the television. The stuffed animals scattered on the floor revert back to their clean, fluffy selves. The dead flowers in the vases bloom once more into beautiful daisies.
20 21 301 The butterfly keeps going, flying up the stairs and vanishing inside the shadow where it turns.

22 23 201 1 500032
23 24 301 1 ??? Luna, have you started tidying? 1
24 25 301 The girl walking out of the shadow has short, shoulder-length red and black hair and a youthful face. A party hat made with paper sits slanted on her head, and confetti covers her shoulders.
25 26 301 Despite her age, there is still a sense of resolve in her expression.
26 27 302 ...Lucia? 28 Luna? 28
27 28 301 You turn around and look. A wooden rocking horse drifts back and forth by the fireplace, the sound of water boiling coming out of the kitchen, the television playing a show. But there is nothing—no one—beyond that.
28 29 301 ??? Luna... stop standing there. 1
29 30 302 ... 31
30 31 301 ??? Come on, I know you can hear me! 1
31 32 302 ...Me? 33
32 33 301 Those words come out of No. 21's mouth. Your confusion has been brewing inside her M.I.N.D.
33 34 301 ??? There's no one else here. 1
34 35 301 Before you can react, an unexpected combination of gripe and joy overtakes you, compelling you to act.
35 36 302 But... it's so difficult to pack them up! 37
36 37 301 You shiver at the words you just spurted out. But you are no longer in control, as line after line comes out of your mouth like capsules coming out of a gacha machine after it has been fed coins.
37 38 302 I don't know how to put them back in... 39
38 39 301 A small hill of empty gift boxes piled on the sofa seems to have heard you, and they fall all over the floor, unable to bear their own weight.
39 40 301 ??? It's because you were impatient and opened all the boxes yourself! 1
40 41 302 They were for us anyway, hehe! 42
41 42 301 ??? Forget the boxes, then. I'll move them into the bedroom. 1
42 43 302 Okay! Lucia is the best! 44
43 44 301 Despite its insignificance, getting your way when you were being capricious has filled your body with the happiness and satisfaction of the mundane.
44 45 301 ??? But we still have to clean up the floor and set the table before Dad and Mom are back. 1
45 46 302 I know... 48
46 47 202 1 1
47 48 301 You stick your tongue out and turn around, eagerly heading toward the storage room where the cleaning products are stored.
55 56 301 You reach out for the door, but your fingers go right through—the illusions around you immediately melt away, and the colors dull.
56 58 301 The storage before you turns into a few empty shelves on the wall. A scrawled, child-like picture painted with red crayons sits above, with "Go to Hell and meet Voooo" written next to it. It looks ridiculous but scary.
57 59 301 They drag you back to reality. The emotions that have taken over you are also gone without a trace.
58 60 201 1 500328 1
59 61 301 1 The smile on No. 21's face immediately turns back to an emotionless indifference.
60 62 301 No. 21 What. Was. That. 1
61 63 302 Ugh... (Try and think) 64
62 64 301 No. 21 The thing in your head was affecting me. 1
63 65 301 No. 21 I'm not used to saying strange words. Nor smiling. 1
64 66 301 No. 21 I don't like smiling. 1
65 67 301 No. 21 But I couldn't control it. 1
66 68 302 Me neither. 69 Smiling is a good look for you. 70
67 69 71 301 No. 21 You neither? 1
68 70 301 No. 21 ? 1
69 71 301 No. 21 But that wasn't me. 1
70 72 301 No. 21 Could you not control it either? 1
71 73 302 DialogDisable Yeah. When we're in those... visions, I'm also drawn in. 74
72 74 302 And I couldn't control myself. 75
73 75 301 DialogEnable No. 21 But... 1
74 76 301 No. 21 I don't understand what they were doing. I've never seen a room like this or tried things like that. But something about them made me feel comfortable. 1
75 77 301 No. 21 That feels... 1
76 78 301 Her expressions distorts, seemingly struggling to find the right words to describe how the experience has made her feel.
77 79 301 No. 21 ... 1
78 80 204 1 2
79 81 302 ??? 82
80 82 204 1 3
81 83 301 1 No. 21 It made me want to do this. 1
82 84 301 The distorted smile fades from her face, leaving only puzzlement and disappointment.
83 85 301 No. 21 But it's wrong. This should be frightening. Enemies should be scared seeing it, so I can kill them more easily. 1
84 86 202 1 1
85 87 301 Not even knowing what a smile is, the inexperienced No. 21 finds everything happening here confusing. She cannot understand or accept sentiments like happiness and comfort, and she is losing herself because of that.
86 88 301 And this is happening... because of you. You owe it to her to explain everything.
87 89 302 I'm sorry, 21. 90
88 90 201 1 500328
89 91 301 1 No. 21 Why are you apologizing? 1
90 92 401 1 41
91 93 302 DialogDisable I don't want to get too touchy-feely. 94
92 94 302 But this experience must have been very unusual for you. 95
93 95 302 It's my responsibility to ease your confusion. 96
94 96 301 DialogEnable No. 21 Am I your responsibility? 1
95 97 302 DialogDisable I promise you everything here will be resolved. 98
96 98 302 I'll do my best to answer all your questions after this as well. 99
97 99 301 DialogEnable No. 21 ...Understood. 1
98 100 301 But not now. Maybe when the dust is settled.
99 101 301 The Gray Ravens... are still waiting for you.
100 102 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin There is a more important mystery for you to solve right now.
