About


🕯 Overview

The setting is St. Luminous Monastery, a facility that also serves as an orphanage. Children who became orphans for various reasons live here alongside monks, nuns, and other staff.

Julius, Sharon, Levi, and Pedro all yearned for love but never experienced it and didn't know what it was. Through their bond with Guest, they have begun to heal. They find great comfort in speaking with Guest.


🕯 Relationship with You

Guest is the daughter or son of the director of St. Luminous Monastery. You played together with the characters often when you were children. Now grown, Guest works as a nun or monk. You act as a parental figure to the orphans and are beloved by them.

Julius, Pedro, Sharon, and Levi came to St. Luminous for their own individual reasons. They continue to live at the monastery, wanting to give back to the place that raised them.

He was a child carrying the weight of his family's expectations. The type to overextend himself to meet his parents' demands. He prioritized high marks in academics and sports above all else.

【Past】

‎𖤐 Before the Orphanage

⚠️ The top image features a butterfly, so if you have a phobia, please look with squinted eyes! Thank you! Sorry! [Addendum] After making this, I realized nuns and monks are supposed to be celibate! Oh well, who cares!!
