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

Sisterly Love

To start Rei’s first heart event, find her any time after reaching your first heart with her. Her earrings have gone missing again, and she’s pretty sure her sister Kim is the culprit, more frustrated by the pattern of never being asked than by the earrings themselves.

Dialogue Choices:

• Get to the actual issue,
  • “Have you told her how you feel?” (“I’ve tried talking to her about it a bunch of times, but it doesn’t seem to sink in.” Kim shows up moments later with the earrings and a matching set as a peace offering.)
  • “I’m sure she’ll bring them back soon.” (same scene with Kim follows either way.)

The Lake’s Whisper

Rei’s cleaning up pollution at Luna Bay largely alone, since Kim bailed and Tae flaked too, and she admits she sometimes wonders if she’s the only one in her family who actually sees the problem.

Dialogue Choices:

• Commit fully rather than offering token help,
  • “Tell me what you need.” (“You mean it? That’d be amazing.” She asks you to help pick up trash along the shore.)
  • “I’m here to help however I can.”

Rainy Day Visit

Rei shows up on a gloomy, rainy morning with a batch of still-warm cupcakes just to lift your spirits, and mentions it’s also her way of saying thanks for helping clean up Luna Bay.

Dialogue Choices:

• Name the specific effort,
  • “You came out in the rain just for me?” (same warmth as “You totally just made my day”, either way she floats making cupcakes-on-rainy-mornings a standing tradition.)
  • “You totally just made my day.” (“That’s exactly what I was going for.”)

Revealing Reflections

Rei brings you somewhere quiet specifically to tell you she’s trans, and admits it terrifies her to be this open given how badly she’s been hurt before for it. She’s clear that this isn’t shame, it’s the exhaustion of having felt like she had to hide herself just to be accepted.

Dialogue Choices:

• Answer the fear directly,
  • “You’re not going to lose me.” (“You have no idea how much that means to me.”)
  • “I care about you because of who you are, Rei.”

Lost in the Forest

Rei drags you into the woods hunting for rare herbs to help purify Luna Bay’s water, having gotten a little lost along the way despite spending so much time out there.

Dialogue Choices:

• Offer to help her search,
  • “Let’s take a look around.” (“Wonderful! I really appreciate it.” You’re after Henbane, pale petals, jagged leaves.)
  • “I’ll help you look. We’ve got this!”

A Memorable Meal

Rei’s whole family, Kim and Tae included, puts together a fish-free dinner just for her (a detail that says a lot about a family of mermaids), complete with the usual sibling bickering over who can actually cook.

Dialogue Choices:

• Recognize the effort,
  • “You did all this for me?” (“{Tae} and {Kim} helped with the cooking, too! I wanted to do something nice for you, since you’re so important to me!”)
  • “What’s the occasion?” (“Do I need a special occasion to celebrate the love of my life?”)

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

Rei takes real time with this one, genuinely torn between fear of immortality and the pull of never having to say goodbye, even joking that a mer-vampire hybrid sounds like something Elvira or Ludo would cook up.

Dialogue Choices:

• When she first raises the idea,
  • “Have you given it enough thought?” (she takes the question seriously and asks for space to think it over before deciding.)
  • “Are you sure about this?” (“Yes. I’m definitely ready. I want to see what it means to be both mermaid and vampire.”)

• Once she returns, certain, give her your answer,
  • “If you’re sure, I’d love to.” (“Really? Oh, that’s such a relief to hear!”)
  • “Maybe sit with it a little longer.” (she agrees it’s not something to rush, and says she’ll ask again when she’s sure.)
