The True Meaning of Going to the Moon

Why did Johnny want to go to the moon?

Because even though his childhood memories were blurred by beta-blockers.

Even though he had already forgotten that he had actually met Liva long ago.

He still remembered that promise.

[If we get lost, or if we forget?]

[Then let's meet on the moon!]

In the days after Liva left Johnny, this thought slowly surfaced from the depths of his memory.

He forgot everything—he forgot how he first met Liva, he forgot their conversations.

But the one thing he still remembered was that he had to go to the moon, because Liva had gotten lost in his life, and he had to find her there.

Likewise, why did Liva keep folding paper rabbits throughout her life?

Because through Johnny's words, Liva realized that Johnny couldn't remember the time they first met.

So throughout her life, Liva kept folding paper rabbits, using her own way to remind Johnny that they had actually met long ago.

Similarly, Liva was willing to sacrifice her own health to build a house, all to make Johnny remember everything.

Because when they first met, Liva opened her heart to Johnny, comparing the stars to lighthouses watching each other from afar.

And Johnny felt there was something special about Liva, something he needed.

Also because they had already met long ago.

All the mysteries were finally unraveled.

What Johnny wanted wasn't the moon—it was to be by Liva's side.

I can't speak my heart, but I'll spend my whole life trying to make you remember, shining on you like a blazing lighthouse—this is an obsession, one that no one else understands.

Even though I've lost my memories of you, I've never forgotten the promise we made to meet on the moon.

Looking at Liva, holding a platypus in her hands, gazing at the distant moon.

In an instant, every player's eyes blurred.

'Damn, what kind of game is this! I can't see the screen anymore!'

'Can't see the screen +1.'

'Fuck, my eyes are stinging! Must be from watching the stream too long!'

'The gameplay felt a bit boring earlier, but now I just want to say why!'

'Tears are falling! I can't hold it back!'

'Men, it's not a crime to cry—look, the boss's eyes are red.'

'What does a tough guy crying look like? This is what it looks like!'

'This hurts! I can't take it at all!'

The game used a reverse narrative, starting with the mystery of going to the moon to spark players' confusion and curiosity.

Bit by bit, it peeled back the final secret, revealing it before the players.

Paired with the game's background music, it instantly moved countless players.

Especially the more emotional ones—as everything was unveiled, they couldn't help but cry.

Whether male or female.

They were all moved by the story between Liva and Johnny.

"This damn game, I never expected it to break me!" Dong Zhen grabbed a tissue from the side, blew his nose, his eyes red from forcing back tears.

But what surprised everyone was that the game wasn't over yet.

With the conversation between the two doctors, Neil and Eva, everyone remembered.

This was inside Johnny's memory.

They still had a contract signed with Johnny: To the Moon.

Neil: 'What if they really got lost?... Wait, does that mean—'

Eva: 'Don't tell me you didn't guess.'

Neil: 'I thought this would turn into an inspiring fairy tale...'

Eva: 'I should have known some little girl would turn it into a farce... I think we know now how to send him to the moon.'

Neil: 'Wait, you're not going to do that, are you? You can't be!'

Eva: 'It's our job, Neil... It's what the contract obligates us to do.'

Neil: 'Damn it... Eva, wait!'

With their exchange, Eva's figure disappeared into Johnny's childhood memories.

Then Neil chased after her.

Sitting in front of the computer, Dong Zhen suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Wait, what does this female PhD want to do?"

Through the memories, Neil found Eva in his high school days.

At the same time, the game's background music grew tense and urgent, and the screen shifted to a dark yellow, old-photo-style filter.

Neil: 'I know what you're planning to do!'

Eva: 'Listen, the terms of our contract require us to send him to the moon, and the only way to achieve that is to give Johnny the motivation to go to the moon.'

Neil: 'So that means you have to remove Liva. But if you do that, what's the point of going to the moon? The real reason he wants to go is because Liva left him.'

Eva: 'I understand, but we're bound by the contract due to legal reasons, especially...'

Neil: 'To hell with the %#@& contract! My job isn't to make him worse off! Eva! I don't know about you, but I do this job so those old geezers can leave this world with happiness! What about you?'

With their exchange, Dong Zhen's uneasy feeling was finally confirmed.

This female PhD was actually going to remove Liva!

Even though her reasoning was perfectly sound.

Because the law and the contract didn't explicitly require it.

But after hours of gameplay, having learned the story between Johnny and Liva, the players clearly couldn't accept this situation at all.

"This old broad, how can she be so heartless!"

"This old broad, how can she be so rigid!"

"Damn it... I can't take this anymore!"

If they had been moved by the story of Liva and Johnny before.

Then now they were just as furious.

Dong Zhen, who was streaming live, couldn't help slamming his fist on the table.

Even the live chat was flooded with comments.

Clearly, no one could accept this situation.

What the hell!

What kind of contract, what kind of law is this!

Johnny doesn't want to go to the moon; what he needs is Liva!

And now this old broad is going to remove Liva? How can anyone put up with that?

But whether it was the viewers watching the stream, or players like Dong Zhen, or even Neil inside the game, none of them seemed able to stop it.

Eva, who had higher control over the machine, kept removing and rewriting Liva from every corner of Johnny's memories.

And in the process, she also set up many traps to block Neil.
