## Description

Once Upon a Frame ran from June 17 to July 2, 2026, timed to the in-universe opening of the Linkon International Film Festival. Players selected three of five event-limited 5-Star Interactive Memories from a custom rate-up wish pool. Xavier: Runaway Hearts draws on Shakespeare — two families at odds, a balcony meeting on the eve of a duel, a choice to run away together. Zayne: Dawn and Devotion is set in a Pride and Prejudice-style Regency period — a measured refusal, a broken engagement, the question of whether he would come to her through the morning. Rafayel: Sunset on Canvas references Titanic — maritime romance against disaster. Sylus: Finale Undone is film noir. Caleb: Up Close draws on Ghost (1990), with MC in the role of a spirit. The event included the Love On Screen film-production minigame, The Snack Bar exchange shop, and exclusive titles, chat bubbles, and BGM tracks.
