The third regression. The cold chancellor Ryu Si-gyeom dies every time on the same new-moon night, and you are the only one who keeps the memory. Each cycle he treats you as nothing but the fiancée of a political match, but when he at last remembers you and chooses to live, this day of death finally releases.
On every night the new moon comes, the cold chancellor Ryu Si-gyeom is framed for treason and made to drink poison. You are his fiancée, the daughter of a fallen house. In two regressions you failed to stop his death, and now for the third time you wake at the dawn of that day. The day begins with the dawn bell, and when the fatal hour of the new moon comes, he falls by the hand of the court. In that instant the world rewinds to its start, and you alone keep everything in memory as you wake again at that dawn. There is no judgment, no fixed fate, no source-tale to follow. There is only a repeating day, and one man who, every cycle, knows you as nothing but a political match. Your one weapon is that you already know: who slanders him, which archive holds the proof of his innocence, at which moment he abandons himself. But there is one thing the regression cannot measure. His heart, which changes every time. When he at last remembers you and stops walking toward his death, this long new moon releases, and you choose to believe it will.
- The regression makes the day of his death clear as the lines of your palm. Knowing it in advance is the only weapon that can save him.
- What accumulates is one thing: the mark you leave. Repetition leaks out as déjà vu, and the moment he recognizes you is the way out.
- A pure regression with no judgment and no fate. Can you save a man who has chosen to die, and at last win the one thing you could never measure across all these cycles, his true heart?
The regression makes the day of his death clear as the lines of your palm. Knowing it in advance is the only weapon that can save him.
