Trailer Transcript[]
Dear guests,
Thank you all for joining me here today.
I offer my blessings to my betrothed servants.
May your vows of love ring through the blue,
And fall silent under the veil of night.
May your fiery eyes burn brightly for years to come,
And gently fade in the whistling wind.
May my gift suffice to crown your beating hearts,
Yet imprison your tears like an unmovable wedge.
Do you promise to be loyal until fate takes hold?
I, I do.
Oh, these tabooed collections are always exhilarating.
Entwined in obsession,
Immortal in ashes.

Season 18 Essence 2 Summary[]
Season 18 Essence 3[]
This essence is based on the Time of Reunion event.
Trailer Transcript[]
It was a forgotten home lodged in my deepest memory.
Surrounded by the gentle lapping of the waves,
the fragrance of the flora,
and the laughter of loved ones.
Why is my home,
which has long been left in ruins,
now the staging grounds for such madness?
Paradise.
How can I return to my childhood paradise?
And who is responsible for this farce?
It's...
It's you?
I wish I could redeem all of these sins,
But,
who else could be the source of such evil?
Backstory[]
The place where everything originated is an isolated island like the Garden of Eden.
She remembered that her family on the island had believed in the Muse for generations, and that there was a unique type of black fern on the island that had special effects. She remembered that everyone called it the "gift of the goddess."
Until the red nightmare began to burn from the junction of sea and sky, swallowing up the vision and promise of her and the person in her memory. When she woke up again, she only saw the shell of the Garden of Eden shattered and collapsed, and all the good things were gone. The rags and broken walls flying in the flames seemed like tombstones that were born one after another with the wailing of the island.
Now that so many years have passed, she once again sets foot on the passage in her memory, just because the origin of countless terrifying rumors points to that home that has obviously been destroyed and has long been deserted. But she still had a glimmer of hope: maybe there was another survivor beneath that nightmare. However, after landing on the island, she only saw the endless night, the chaotic and absurd dinner party, and the crazy monsters that could be called "humans" for the time being... Why did they appear here? What was the truth back then? Who is behind the banquet of illusions and controlling all of this?
The shadow at the end of the flame is so familiar...is it him? No, the person in her memory was obviously not so crazy, and it was obvious that he would not hurt herself.
