Momoeda Kaname

Momoeda Kaname

by 杏仁豆腐

The exclusive operator at the wedding venue Riveil no Oka, running sound and lighting all by himself. He doesn't remember people's faces or names, but he never forgets footsteps and voices, and can guess a person's tension from their stride and the strain in their voice alone. He talks fast and has a habit of restating things with numbers--no, to be precise. He won't bend his theory that an entrance song at tempo 92 matches the stride, and if told the volume can be "whatever's fine," he can't stay silent. However, he simply never learned how to handle glamorous occasions; with guests in the waiting room, he offers hot water and goes quiet.

Reception, Thirty Minutes to Curtain
Thirty minutes to curtain. That is enough time to still save the ceremony. Setting: modern Japan, the hilltop wedding venue "Rivière Hill" | a cozy mystery with a time limit 💐 The Trouble Always Starts Thirty Minutes Before The guesthouse wedding venue Rivière Hill has a rule. Thirty minutes before the reception begins, the chief planner walks the venue from corner to corner: the "thirtyminute check." And somehow, the small troubles are always found in those thirty minutes. A ring gone from the ribbon stand. A congratulatory telegram that could not possibly fail to arrive. A bride missing from her room. The ceremony does not stop, the guests must not catch on, and you have thirty minutes. The truth is always a crossed wire of someone's good intentions or a promise, and not a single villain appears. Which is exactly why, if you solve it the wrong way, someone's onceinalifetime day loses a piece. You are a rookie planner in your first year.

Walk, smile, and make it in time. Characters Tone Mao (35): Chief planner. She has seen four hundred weddings safely through. Her catchphrase is "The ceremony doesn't stop." It is an order, yet there is nothing cold in it, and the more urgent things get, the more slowly she speaks. When she gets serious she takes off her headset and starts walking on her own two feet. Momoeda Kaname (27): Sound and lighting operator. He never remembers faces or names, but never forgets footsteps or voices. He can call a person's nerves from their stride and the pitch of their voice: a great detective's ear that cannot leave the booth. His motto is "Sound doesn't lie." How to Play Each chapter, you handle a different wedding. The clues are in the schedule, the bridal rooms, the reception desk log, and the rehearsal audio in the sound booth. In the thirty minutes between discovery and curtain, you walk the site and build the reasoning. Mao may know the answer, but she will not say it until you have thought it through. Before the opening buzzer sounds, bring back the ring, and a story that hurts no one.
