Amid chaos and incessant wailing, the crew brought the script into the world. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGtrgJFLBx
The logic may have collapsed, but as long as the love was real—— 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrUcy7PidX
the story could still breathe.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0da6l3GQ7J
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1JbVyA7p7
“So… what exactly is ‘wholesome’?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIDIEP5SaD
The screenwriter frowned, as if faced with a philosophical riddle.
“Everyday stuff, maybe?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡardSZU92HH
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?”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe8qSJ6lHs
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.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8bjoPrkda
“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:15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK0joC8IPn
“Tragedy in the last life, sugar in the next. That work?”
Three seconds of silence.
“…Kinda works.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijRDDnWsFd
The art lead lowered her stylus.
“I got it!”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE9WYZQov7
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:15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEsDeDjRpK
“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.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVlSfGMDAS
“Too much memory, too much pain. Too little, no flavor.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKsdamhKfB
The director chimed in.
“Or just have one remember, one forget?”
The manager nodded.15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqlc6wVg0b
“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?” 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOtt6HDOLU
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: 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZZV7j9vPR
“Sugar and Suffering: Boundary Testing Report.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXe6w5Yhrm
15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzqYUqXx2H
When the meeting ended, no one clapped. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGp4F4WmcK
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. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaRdI01mnj
“So... does this mean we have a script?”
“…I don’t know if it qualifies as a script,” the director said, rubbing his temples. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF199eSyz9g
“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!!” 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPO60Oiuat
“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. 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrXwRmsNCh
“Time to move on to casting.”
“Give me two more days. I can write this.” 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0e9NxhUKh
The screenwriter shut the laptop.
“I’m buying a new pen.”15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4sAR9KxEi
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, 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKC6jQxWxh
Not because the budget made it feasible, 15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruOUWDKbgP
But because——
Someone truly loved that story.
