Amid chaos and incessant wailing, the crew brought the script into the world. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOswrr1i4e
The logic may have collapsed, but as long as the love was real—— 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlelQEVISuB
the story could still breathe.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfxV2QGCit
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG6b6OuGXr
“So… what exactly is ‘wholesome’?”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjh6pkcCJd
The screenwriter frowned, as if faced with a philosophical riddle.
“Everyday stuff, maybe?”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bNLVGVp29
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?”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOnN1GTYso
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.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoY26aCphr
“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:17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioaSd2bZNK
“Tragedy in the last life, sugar in the next. That work?”
Three seconds of silence.
“…Kinda works.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHZ7zQilUE
The art lead lowered her stylus.
“I got it!”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVEc2PWFJ8
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:17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3cXUtf22u
“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.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76KRK5igZ5
“Too much memory, too much pain. Too little, no flavor.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rI2LhJCWo
The director chimed in.
“Or just have one remember, one forget?”
The manager nodded.17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyLiHdttjK
“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?” 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE0I31UVks
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: 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WHMmBAVuS
“Sugar and Suffering: Boundary Testing Report.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzSN2Ytegq
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC89fWk3nD
When the meeting ended, no one clapped. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1PeZGWC58
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. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKl7AAxZsx
“So... does this mean we have a script?”
“…I don’t know if it qualifies as a script,” the director said, rubbing his temples. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkpEE4Lcuq
“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!!” 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ia8xanLrX
“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. 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1RS5zOuLa
“Time to move on to casting.”
“Give me two more days. I can write this.” 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgjpLZKVK8
The screenwriter shut the laptop.
“I’m buying a new pen.”17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YvkIqs2Ih
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, 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ0aEAQ1fh
Not because the budget made it feasible, 17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yu1w96hC8
But because——
Someone truly loved that story.
