Heartfelt House of Cocoa[edit]
Hubble and the Professor met near the sea for their date. She noted that the sky was exceptionally clear that night, which was an anomaly as it ought to be cloudy per the observatory's data. Hubble openly wondered how such a mysterious night came to be, before revealing that she knew it was the Professor's doing. While Hubble was pleased with the starry sky, she stated that the stars were not just located in the sky that night. She pointed to the glowing points in the waves of the sea, bioluminescence from floating algae. The scene of beauty was born from the lives of countless living beings joined together, and she marveled that such insignificant lives could contend with the brilliance of the stars in the sky. However, the Professor noted that the sea algae of the Oasis were merely illusions generated from operands. Hubble then began gently stroking the surface of the sea, before suddenly raising her hand and scattering the cold seawater all over the Professor. Hubble laughed before apologizing to the now drenched Professor, and then placed her hand on their cheek. She reminded the Professor that everything in the Oasis was also a pile of visible operands: the stars, the glowing beach, herself, and even the Professor's body were nothing but evanescent illusions. Yet she asked if this mattered as they could see and feel them all.
The Professor remarked that it appeared Hubble had completely accepted life in the Oasis. Hubble denied this, stating she still felt disappointment that she could no longer find new stars in a virtual sky. However, there were things more brilliant than the stars. She then placed several round balls of chocolate on the Professor's hand. She had made them herself, dark blue chocolates speckled with white to make them appear as little spherical universes. The Professor stated that they looked so good, it would be a shame to eat them. Suddenly, Hubble ate one of the chocolates from their palm and then exclaimed that they were delicious. She licked her lips and smiled playfully before pointing out that the chocolate would not last forever, and if the Professor did not eat them then their beautiful forms would eventually melt. Nothing was eternal, even the Oasis' cloud server would eventually wither away. The Professor moved to comfort Hubble, but she shoved a piece of chocolate in their mouth and said that they must properly enjoy their brief happiness. As they gazed into each other's eyes, the Professor asked what Hubble was looking at. She replied that she was looking at a star.
Beguiling Mystery: Ever-Radiant Star Costume Story[edit]
The Professor and Hubble shared a night together at an empty clearing in the Oasis shortly after a banquet. The Professor was late due to various affairs after the banquet and attempted to apologize, but Hubble cut them off as she was happy to simply spend time under the night sky with them. For the occasion, several of their friends had prepared gifts including Millau's select wine, a cake crafted by Choco, flowers nurtured by Sakuya, and lighting chosen by Fresnel. Hubble had extended the invitation to the Professor as it was a particularly beautiful night. The Professor commented that it was beautiful, but Hubble noticed that they were looking directly at her instead of the sky. Hubble was quite amused and teased the Professor, suggesting that perhaps the wine was too strong for them. She then looked at the sky once more, noting that gazing at the stars was like looking back at the past, with their light traveling thousands of years to reach their observer. The Professor suggested that perhaps Hubble missed looking up at the real sky instead of the data simulations of Magrasea. Hubble denied this while staring at her wine glass, as she had now found a star that she could call her very own: The Professor. Hubble then confided to them regarding her fears that one day her star might disappear, leaving her sight. The Professor comforted her, declaring that they would never leave her. Hubble was reassured, but asked the Professor that whether the day was clear or overcast, day or night, that the Professor would come to seek her out. Satisfied by their response, Hubble raised her glass and toasted with the Professor and to the stars while continuing to talk of their future together.
