Anything can stir an emotional chord within us.
The mundane, the ordinary, the sorrowful, the painful.
And now, everything unfolding on the screen was transmitting a feeling called 'happiness' to every single viewer in the live stream.
Urged on by the young man, the girl risked everything at the gacha machine in Eden Park.
At the Reverie Bar, the young man joined the tipsy girl in putting on a dazzling, spectacular stage play, earning thunderous applause.
Watching these scenes unfold, the viewers in the live stream couldn't help but voice their heartfelt admiration.

Kiana: 「She's willing to throw all her credits at his urging, and he's happy to go along with her drunken antics. That's just too sweet~」
Stelle: 「Maybe this is what love is supposed to look like in its purest form.」
March 7th: 「If anyone else said that, it'd sound deep. Coming from you, it's like putting a gold rim on a chamber pot...」
Stelle: 「I don't envy lovebirds or immortals—I just envy Firefly, every single day.」
March 7th: 「...Now that's more like you. Don't go off-script again.」
Stelle: 「......」
Elysia: 「But it's only natural to be envious, isn't it? Their kind of bond is exactly what every girl dreams of~ Elysia wants it too, you know?」

Faced with such overwhelmingly sweet scenes in the stream, everyone was drawn in, smiles spreading across their faces.
No one can resist a sweet love story, even if they're only watching from the sidelines.
But this was only the beginning.
Just as the duo's tag 'Starlight and Fireflies' suggested.
Both she and you understood each other perfectly. You promised to accept each other wholly, and in the days to come, you would share a truly beautiful life together.
Yes, for the time that remained, nothing but beauty awaited them.

[May 4th.]
[You visited the Slumbering Dreams, home to schools of fish that swim upstream through memories, each one representing a unique past. You spent a fair amount to acquire one and poured your recent experiences into it, even giving the fish a name.]
[Bai Ying.]
[You joked: 'Feels like we're naming our daughter.']
[Firefly's face flushed, and she let out a soft 'mmhmm,' not denying it.]
--+--
[May 6th.]
[You went to Hamster Ball Paradise, an amusement area themed around the Hamster Ball Knights, where they were screening *Hamster Ball Knights: Nuts of Speed*.]
[After a two-hour viewing, you sharply critiqued it, saying it couldn't compare to *Star Guardians and Agent J*. Firefly was puzzled by the movie you mentioned.]
[You told her it was a performance worthy of winning awards even if submitted to the Iris Family contest, then pulled up the surveillance footage you'd gotten from Shuon and showed Firefly the original.]
[Twenty minutes later, Firefly looked utterly defeated. She chased you all the way, yelling 'Delete it, delete it now!']
--+--
[May 10th.]
[You visited the Oti, the busiest commercial area in the Golden Hour, founded by the head of the Alfalfa Family, 'Oti Alfalfa' The dazzling lights made it bright as day, and couples strolled everywhere—you among them.]
--+--
[May 12th.]
[You visited the Dream Merchants and experienced a bizarre, twisted dream filled with bloodthirsty monsters, creepy frogs, and flaming slugs. As a Star Child, you were instinctively repulsed by it all.]
[Though Firefly's legs were trembling too, she stiffened her expression and spread her arms, shielding you.]
--+--
[May 13th.]
[You went to the Plaza of Creation, where Dreamweavers showcase their skills—quite literally, as some were brawling there. Artists and engineers butting heads had led to the scene.]
[Using your innate sense of 'beauty' as a child of the Aeon, you refined the Dreamweaver's blueprints and stopped the fight. To thank you, the Dreamweaver asked if you'd add a little easter egg to the design.]
[After a moment's thought, you offered: 'How about this—at midnight, when the garden is empty and a single firefly gazes up at a shooting star, the sky will fill with a brilliant meteor shower. All the dormant fireflies throughout Penacony will light up in response, creating a sleepless night.']
[The Dreamweaver looked hesitant: 'But fireflies don't look up at the sky. They're usually active from six to ten PM—never at midnight. This easter egg would never trigger.']
[You glanced at the girl not far away, still focused on the blueprints, and smiled: 'No, it can happen.']
[May 14th.....]
[May 16th.....]
As the days passed, the young man and girl seemed to perfectly embody what love should be throughout that month.
They walked hand in hand, barefoot on deserted beaches late at night, and dragged their sleep-deprived bodies to watch the sunrise side by side.
Every bit of the world's beauty and happiness seemed to pour into their lives during that time. Even the viewers watching couldn't help but smile.
Amidst all this warmth, everyone eagerly anticipated what each new day would bring.

Stelle: 「It's here, it's here! Let's see what flavor today's dogfood is!」
March 7th: 「What's the point? You'll gobble it up no matter what, won't you~」
Kiana: 「Speaking of which, you two... are up early...」
March 7th: 「I could've slept three more hours! It's all because of this one @Stelle, she woke me up!」
Silver Wolf: 「Don't you get sick of watching these two sprinkle sugar everywhere every day?」
Stelle: 「Sorry, but even if I get diabetes, I'm eating this sugar! *Righteous and stern expression*.JPG.」

Just as everyone was chattering away, curious about what today's stream would show—
The live stream screen lit up.
[May 31st.]
As usual, the first thing to appear was the date. But the next line showed a description starkly different from the usual warmth.
[Time remaining until Bai Heng's life reaches its end: 18 hours, 13 minutes, 54 seconds.]
