For a third, and perhaps a last time if they've picked right, the match ceremony is nigh.

Two lights are lit up already, thanks to Du Ruo and Sherbet's successful matching the day before, and they'll be able to join Hong Lu and Frieren in those cozy, cozy loveseats reserved for Perfect Matches. The beach area is pristine. There's no trace of storm in the sky, the worst of it well-past leaving only the calm of the sun's dying hours to keep the ambience nice.

How many more might be lit up tonight? Just one once more? Or maybe all of them?

Your hostess seems confident regardless, but she always does, doesn't she? Anna's spent her evenings with them time and time again after Truth Booths as they discussed their next moves, has seen first hand just how hard they've worked, and... despite her role, could never help but offer her point of view when she could after Match Ceremonies, too. She more than anyone else knows how stressful this can be -- as a contestant, yes, but also as someone wanting to find love anew too.

"What a beautiful evening to totally HIT THIS OUTTA THE PARK, am I right?! We've got one, we've got two, so let's get the rest!" Her energy softens a little, and she speaks far more maturely than she seems. "You've all done so, so much these past weeks -- short as it feels, and as it is, lives only take a moment to change completely. Mine did. And I'm really happy to be able to hear your stories too, for what it's worth."

A beat, and then she'll raise her hand again--

"So let's get this show on the road! Will you get your happy end?! Or will you be forced to spend another week here in those hammocks?! Team Non-chan, let's find out!"

After a better showing last week than the one before... we have finally hit midpoint!

...

It'll be fine, it'll work out, don't even worry about it. Seems like... this week might be a pretty normal one, the odd storm brewing out at sea aside. Hopefully there won't be a blackout!

New additions include:

• A luxurious bed has appeared... on the beach! Right outside the house. Away enough from the ocean, but... there. On the red frame of it, it says Dettlaff & Gregor's Love Nest and the crew WILL remove anyone who isn't them from this furniture. Deal's a deal.

That out of the way... Enjoy your third week!
