Story - summarized
Nikki and Momo are shopping for Halloween when Nikki starts showing signs of sickness. Worried, Momo rushes her to the nearest hospital. It turns out that Nikki is fine but needs more rest - Momo, however, is the one with a fever.
He protests being sick, not wanting to take any medicine. To his surprise, a familiar nurse named Moe walks in. She calms him down and treats him well. Momo then tells Nikki that they both should stay in the hospital until they're both better.
Momo wanders the halls until he spots another nurse watching a spooky news story on TV: there are mysterious footsteps in the hospital at midnight, and it's rumored that this is a ghost that causes bad luck. He doesn't believe it - until that night, when he and Nikki were looking over Halloween games and brochures.
The footsteps made their way down the hall, slow and lumbering. But when they check the hall, no one is there. Both of them worry that the nurses or patients could be in danger.
Nikki and Momo decide to spring a trap for the mysterious figure the next time they hear the noise. He grabs a syringe, Nikki a quilt, and they ambush the figure - who turns out to be Mayor Rodel. He was coming to visit Moe since she only works at night... and they're secretly engaged.
Afterwards, Momo and Nikki enjoy candy in their hospital room.
Connections
-You first meet Mayor Rodel in Vol. 1 Chapter 3. He gives the whole group a bumpy ride in his car.
-Also in Vol. 1 Ch. 3, during the 3-12 episode, Nikki and friends gather to see Rodel after he recovered from Vulture's brainwashing. He told them he was going to stick around and get some extra tests done, "just in case." As soon as the nurse (Moe) comes in, he pretends to be hurt so he can be around her longer.
Fun Facts
-Bento boxes are Japanese in origin.
-Despite having his own character art in the game, Rodel only appears as a voice in this Reflection.
-This is one of two doctor suits in the game, the only other one being Joy's suit from Perfect Experiment.

(edit: I'm a fucking liar. these are outdated now lmao)
OKAY GUYS I SWEAR THIS WILL BE MY LAST TIME REDESIGNING TH- anyway aha- Just the main four iterators this time around, because I feel like trying to draw the others again would kill me.
I felt that something wasn't quite right with my previous designs so I sat down to ponder a bit and GOD DID I PONDER
I even designed timeline based versions for Pebs and Moon this time so there's that.
(edit: FP is about 3'9 and SRS is 5'5)
Also, alt version but they can actually side eye you!! Wowie!!
Some extra notes for Moon from an earlier concept I never posted here

Qin Yi: Nostalgic Dreams
Designer's Reflection: Nostalgic Dreams
Obtained: Vol. 1 Chapter 4 workshop
Rarity: SR
Attribute: Green/Fresh
Awakened Suit: Smile in Retrospect
Story - transcripts from Nostalgic Dreams
Chapter 1 - Growing Pain
Chapter 2 - Unending Night Rain
Chapter 3 - Metamorphosis
Story - summarized
Before Qin Yi was a renowned actor, he was a young boy nicknamed Jade by the troupe Master. But Master would beat and abuse the children in the troupe if he was even the slightest dissatisfied, whether with the performance or even his tea.
The only one to show any kindness was the star of the troupe, Li Chun. Jade looked up to Mr. Li ever since he saved the boy from the Master's wrath once. From then on, Jade adored and obsessed over costumes and the stage.
One day, he and his best friend, Monkey, got into trouble with the Master. Jade was beat and kicked first - when it was Monkey's turn, he cried out that it was all Jade's idea. Master didn't care what the truth was, but he threw Jade into the dark room anyway. No food, no water except for the cold rain seeping through the cracks.
Jade got sick from the two-day ordeal. When he was freed, Monkey came to give him medicine, remorseful and tearful. Eventually, Jade devised a plan for them both to escape the troupe and run away back to Monkey's family. They could start over and be brothers.
Except Jade had been pretending. He wanted revenge for being betrayed, so he got Monkey in trouble with the Master and rose in the troupe's ranks. Ever since that cold night in the dark room, he would do whatever it took to survive, and he would never trust anyone again.
Connections
-Ashley also got thrown into a dark room when she was younger. She tells of her mistreatment from her step-family in Meteoric Feather.
-Qin Yi/Jade says in this Reflection that he has no home to return to. In Pollia Mist Silk, you learn that he only had a mother and was living on the streets, so he ran away to get a better life.
-Qin Yi shares more of the trauma and abuse he faced in Out the Phoenix Palace. Master was exceedingly brutal to all in the troupe, only caring about what the members could do for him.
-This isn't Qin Yi's only betrayal. He uses Joy against Nikki in Vol. 1 Chapter 4, and in Flower In The Mirror, he promised to help a young woman escape an arranged marriage but didn't.
Fun Facts
-Besides changing his birthmark to look like a butterfly, Qin Yi/Jade uses other similar metaphors like "cocoon" and "metamorphosis." Butterflies do symbolize change, but usually it's a positive change.
-Monkeys are considered tricksters in Chinese mythology.
-After Jade's time in the dark room is over, Master says he is lucky to be alive. After Monkey gets sent to the dark room, we never hear from him again, implying his death.
