Amid chaos and incessant wailing, the crew brought the script into the world. 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvKglWTPzA
The logic may have collapsed, but as long as the love was real—— 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHk8AsyzAh
the story could still breathe.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn6VODlLaX
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0CQzr7xyI
“So… what exactly is ‘wholesome’?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh04iZ2aWi2
The screenwriter frowned, as if faced with a philosophical riddle.
“Everyday stuff, maybe?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu8vAWOnQE
The art lead was sketching bunny breakfasts on her iPad.
“Wholesomeness comes from daily life——like brushing teeth together, grocery shopping, clipping nails…”
“Wait, clipping nails?”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZo6KX3Q7y
The director cut in.
“Is your idea of love a veterinary drama?”
“You don’t get it. Bunny claws are sharp. Nail clipping is a symbol of trust.”
The manager, eyes on his laptop, spoke flatly.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY2yeVfzZT
“The boss asked for romance, not animal training.”
“Okay, let me try again,” the screenwriter raised a hand.
“Daily life equals wholesome. So what about soul-stirring?”
“Usually requires separation—death, amnesia, car crash, bomb, time warp, betrayal…”
“The boss said to keep it sweet,” the director reminded.
“So… we hit them with a deadly blow _before_ the sweetness?”
Deadpan, the screenwriter continued:16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmRJzsZAtU
“Tragedy in the last life, sugar in the next. That work?”
Three seconds of silence.
“…Kinda works.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVinYj8rwYf
The art lead lowered her stylus.
“I got it!”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZZHcXZBDM
The director’s eyes lit up.
“Classic angst-then-sugar arc!”
“It’s both soul-stirring and wholesome! And reincarnation explains all the plot holes!”
The manager added with surgical precision:16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gtz04uVCu
“She died so miserably in her past life, now even the grass grows extra lush just for her.”
“…I see it.” The screenwriter started pounding the keyboard.
“What if they slowly start remembering their past lives?” the art lead suggested.
“Maybe—but not everything.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwwqJbObw9
“Too much memory, too much pain. Too little, no flavor.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDc3h9Cxhn
The director chimed in.
“Or just have one remember, one forget?”
The manager nodded.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDkNNrJRpf
“She tries to hold back her feelings, but something keeps pulling her in.”
“Then throw in a twist——like, she forgot it was his fault she died.”
Everyone stopped.
“…You hearing yourself?” 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcy7xsZFIb
The screenwriter turned to the art lead, face full of ‘I know a good therapist if you need one.’
“Isn’t that, like… soul-stirring and wholesome?”
“…I’m logging this meeting as a permanent record.”
The manager renamed the document: 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8wT8phpza
“Sugar and Suffering: Boundary Testing Report.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSRcLyjRXI
16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTZNwLvglu
When the meeting ended, no one clapped. 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QcQKXe0cw
No one laughed either.
Only the air was filled with a strange, accidental sense of achievement.
The manager closed her laptop and raised a question. 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vCD8RV5yV
“So... does this mean we have a script?”
“…I don’t know if it qualifies as a script,” the director said, rubbing his temples. 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1axOc7Tjrq
“But at least we’ve got a full-fledged romance.”
“There’s a past, a present, a secret, a hook—plus a bunny.”
“And a human,” the screenwriter added.
“And that cursed ‘no sexy stuff’ rule,” the art lead muttered.
The director took a deep breath and sent off the freshly organized pitch deck.
A few seconds later, the boss replied with a voice message.
The moment it played, the whole meeting room was shaken to the ceiling by a screeching wail.
“Waaahhh!! THIS!! This is the love I’ve been crying for!!” 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAFspF65zN
“Awoooo!! MY SHIP——AAAHHHHHHH!!”
Phone down, body limp against the chair, the director’s face carried the expression of someone who had just reincarnated three times.
“We made it,” he said.
The manager nodded. 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskbdWHv6ID
“Time to move on to casting.”
“Give me two more days. I can write this.” 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x5gF9D7ZO
The screenwriter shut the laptop.
“I’m buying a new pen.”16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi76mD2ZmM1
The art lead pulled out her color swatches.
And so, from the chaos and wailing, a script was born.
Not because it made perfect sense, 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF6vqJxwHI
Not because the budget made it feasible, 16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDoehkd4G5
But because——
Someone truly loved that story.
