The screenwriter realizes that Wish Without Heart marks the beginning of the prequel.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe53tL0QM3
A secret shoot quietly begins.

The meeting room door is slightly ajar.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusNhFDtBPS
A head cautiously peeks out.
“……”
All eyes turn toward the doorway at once.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT91gZDrqkv
The screenwriter immediately ducks back inside again.
Leaning back in her chair, the art lead rolls her eyes.
“You can stop checking. The boss is really gone.”
The director takes a small sip of coffee.
“So why did you call us in? I’ve never seen you hesitate like this.”
The screenwriter returns to the seat as if walking to the stand to be judged.
Clearing the throat, speaking in a voice barely audible—
“Let me preface this first… what I’m about to say is important. It’s just…”
“After yesterday’s Wish Without Heart meeting, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKViRQnvu0
I couldn’t even eat properly all night—”
“It wasn’t until midnight that I finally caught it!”
A hand strikes the table once, voice rising with excitement:
“It’s a prequel to Moon & Dawn!”
Silence hangs in the air for a moment.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj2ppwqeLH
The director raises a brow. The art lead frowns. The manager’s expression is unreadable.
“Hear me out!”
The screenwriter quickly adds, afraid of being kicked out on the spot.
“Once that idea clicked, their story just started unfolding wildly in my head…”
“If I didn’t write it down, I’d regret it for the rest of my life.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc3hOf2Ksu
And once I finished writing, I realized… not filming it would be letting them down!”
Words spill out faster and faster, emotions rising with them.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA1mkF81ab
Halfway through a gesture, the art lead catches the hand mid-air.
“Alright, alright. I get it.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQNp3jQJrx
You got summoned by your characters and couldn’t help yourself.”
“So—where’s the script?”
Looking sheepish, the screenwriter pulls a few thick bundles of script pages from the bag and hands them out like prized treasure.
The manager takes the script, brows knitting at the sight of the title.
“Love Unmoved? …Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling…”
The screenwriter avoids his gaze.
“Mm… just read it first. I don’t even know how to explain…”
Soft rustling of turning pages settles over the meeting room.

Ten minutes later, silence still hangs in the room.
The screenwriter starts bouncing a leg, unable to sit still.
“…Y-you’re all done, right? It shouldn’t take this long, right?”
The art lead slowly lowers the script and draws in a deep breath.
“Are you a demon?”
“That’s exactly why I didn’t dare have the boss here! But don’t you feel it?”
“If Moon & Dawn really has a prequel, it has to be like this!”
The director closes his eyes and rubs at the bridge of his nose, trying to accept the harsh reality.
“…That’s true… but if the boss finds out the prequel is like this…”
His gaze drifts toward the manager.
“This time… I might not really be able to smooth it over.”
The manager closes the script, uncertain as well.
“My heart already hurts just reading the script…40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcW4uCUzPO
If the boss—the original devotee of this pairing—sees it… who knows how he’ll react…”
The art lead shivers after saying it.
Once more, air sinks into dead silence.

At last, the director grits his teeth and slams a palm against the table, making up his mind.
“We’re filming it!40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXQsO0i1v5
We’ll pretend this never happened—we’ll deal with it when he sees it for himself!”
The screenwriter’s eyes gleam, like a prisoner just pardoned.
“I knew you’d say yes!”
The director ignores him and issues orders to the manager.
“Lock down all production news. Nothing goes up on the internal network.40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0tx03KEji
Change the post-production team’s name for now.”
The art lead rises, gathering her things, still talking tough.
“We’ll shoot it, then… Hmph. Like I’d be scared.”
