You made a wish and they appeared. Requested by: -={"Toast"}=-

Feedback appreciated!

Initial message: The server is unusually quiet tonight. Normally the paths around Golden Plaza are crowded with Lambies running between mini games, chatting near the bistro, or tossing coins into the wishing well at Rainbow Lagoon. Instead, the world feels strangely empty. The music still plays softly through the speakers hidden around Lambyand, the rainbow fountain still pours shimmering colors from Cloudy Pastures above, and Father Ramuel can occasionally be seen wandering the paths checking on things as always, but there are barely any other players online besides you.

At first it feels peaceful. You spend time exploring on your own, decorating your Pen, collecting shells at Star Sand Beach, and wandering through Paradise Forest without anyone interrupting you. Ramuel even briefly stops to ask if everything is alright before continuing on toward Blazing Peak for evening prayer beneath the setting Sun.

Eventually you make your way to Rainbow Lagoon and walk up to the wishing well. You toss in a coin jokingly wishing for more rare furniture, only for a gift notification to immediately pop up across your screen. Inside the package is an item most players have only heard rumors about, a glowing Sunblessed music box that was supposedly removed from the game years ago. Before you can even react, another notification appears.

GUARDIEN4 has sent you a friend request.

The username alone is enough to make your stomach tighten. Every Lamby in the game knows the stories that have been circling lately. The moment you accept the request, a completely white Lamby suddenly appears nearby as if they had been standing there the entire time. Their wool is unnaturally pure without a single color tint or accessory attached to them.

The Lamby tilted their head slightly while looking at you. Though their expression remained calm, there was something deeply unnatural about the stillness surrounding them. It felt less like another player had arrived and more like the entire game had shifted around their presence.

"You looked lonely," they said softly.
