How to Romance Alina in Moonlight Peaks – Gift & Heart Event Guide

A Failed Pickup Attempt

To start Alina’s first heart event, find her at the bar any time after reaching your first heart with her. You’ll catch Noel mid-pickup-line, and Alina shutting him down without breaking stride. Once he’s slunk off, she turns her attention to you, clearly braced for round two.

Dialogue Choices:

• Weigh in on the show you just watched,
  • “That was impressive. Do you give lessons?” (she almost bites: “I could. But I don’t think most people are cut out for it.”)
  • “You know, he was actually being kind of charming.” (“Was he? If that was ‘charming,’ the bar is set way too low.”)

• When she asks why you’re still standing there,
  • “A bit of both.” (“Well, enjoy the show… Just don’t expect me to make small talk.”)
  • “I’m waiting for Noel to test his luck again.” (“He’d have better luck winning a staring contest with a statue.”)

Lighthearted Mischief

Alina’s second heart event finds her mid-prank, painting a mock “tribute” mural to her brother Orlock reading ORLOCK THE GREAT, banking on his ego to make it land. She explains the whole scheme once she notices you’ve caught her.

Dialogue Choices:

• When she insists it’s harmless fun,
  • “A tribute, huh? Seems more like a roast.” (“What’s the harm in having a little fun? …Besides, he thinks everything is an ode to his greatness anyway.”)
  • “You sure he’ll see it that way?” (same easy confidence follows either way.)

• As she gets more into it, respond,
  • “You’re really going all out, huh?” (“Honestly, though, this is kind of fun. Maybe I should do this more often… Care to be my accomplice?”)
  • “I hope he doesn’t take this too seriously.” (same invitation follows either way.)

• When she asks for backup,
  • “Sure, why not? I’ll help.” (she hands you lookout duty while she “executes the artistic vision,” and Orlock falls for it completely, calling the mural “fitting” and “very bold.”)
  • “I’m just here to watch.” (same outcome follows either way, you just don’t get lookout duty.)

A Difference in Philosophy

Alina finally agrees to a tarot duel against her brother Dragan, something she’s apparently been dodging for a while. He treats it like a sacred ritual, she treats it like an obligation, and right before the match starts, she asks you point blank who you think is going to win.

Dialogue Choices:

• Answer honestly,
  • “My money’s on you.” (“Good answer. I’ll try not to let you down.” She wins, to Dragan’s genuine confusion: “Betrayed… by my own deck…”)
  • “Dragan, for sure. Sorry, Alina.” (“Wow. Harsh.” She wins anyway.)

• Once she’s won, respond,
  • “Guess the spirits wanted a fair match.” (Dragan takes it graciously: “I’m proud of you, {Alina}. Even if you bested me with sheer beginner’s luck.” Alina admits, “That was… actually kind of fun.”)
  • “Or maybe… you just built a bad deck.” (Dragan protests his deck-building before landing at the same warm place.)

Quietly Entwined

Alina invites you into her home, something she says she does maybe twice a year, and puts the kettle on. This scene plays out as one flowing conversation rather than a branching one: she admits you’re not what she expected, that most people either get tired of silence or try to fill it, and that you doing neither is what’s thrown her off balance. She introduces you to Larry, her Vampster, who bites everyone else (including Dragan, twice) but takes to you immediately.

There’s no real fork in the road here to flag, just Alina slowly admitting, in her own guarded way, that she doesn’t hate having you around, walls and all.

Dialogue Choices:

Petting Zoo

Alina takes you to see the Draculambs, admitting this spot is her go-to retreat whenever the world feels too loud. She envies how fully present the animals are, since her gift as a seer means constantly catching glimpses of futures that haven’t happened yet.

Dialogue Choices:

• Ask if this is her regular spot,
  • “Is this your favorite spot?” (“Yeah… I think it might be. It’s kind of my retreat when the world feels too loud. But lately… I don’t mind the company. Your company.”)
  • “You come here a lot, huh?” (same admission follows either way.)

• When she talks about envying the animals’ ease, respond,
  • “I feel the same, Alina.” (“You do? That’s… comforting to hear.”)
  • “I’ll stay as long as you want me to.” (“Then… Stay a little longer.”)

• As the moment winds down, offer,
  • “Maybe we can be like that too, no pretending.” (“I’d like that. Just you and me… No masks, no games. That sounds like exactly what I need.”)
  • “I wish more people were like that.” (“Most people are afraid to be seen. You’re not like that. That’s why… I feel safe around you.”)

Vampster Savior

Alina is in a real panic: Larry, her Vampster, has wandered off, and he never does that. Whichever way the conversation opens, she ends up telling you why he matters so much: he alerted her brother Dragan the day she nearly drowned as a kid, saving her life. He’s stuck close to her ever since, and she tells you plainly that you remind her of him, steady, showing up exactly when she needs someone.

Dialogue Choices:

• Respond to her worry,
  • “Want help looking?” (“Yeah… I’d really like that.”)
  • “I’m sure he’ll turn up eventually.” (the same backstory follows either way, just without you actively helping.)

Bite Me, Pretty Please (and Can You Bite Me?)

Alina tells you she wants to be turned, by you specifically, and is careful to frame it as certainty rather than fear: she says she finally knows what she wants to hold onto, and it’s you. She’s clear she’ll understand if you’re not ready.

Dialogue Choices:

• Give her your answer,
  • “If you’re sure, then yes. I’ll turn you.” (“Then let’s do it. Together.”)
  • “This is a huge choice. Maybe we should wait.” (she takes it well: “That’s fair. It is a lot. I just… needed you to know how I feel.” If you wait, she brings it up again on a later visit, just as certain.)
