Act 5 just startet with a new luna scene

Hey gooners👋,

Act 5 is out, and it opens with the worst thing the manifests could have said: everybody in that kitchen was moved into place on a schedule, years before the MC ever turned up on the porch. Last line on the last page is his name.

The first character scene of the act is Luna's, and it's the one I most wanted to get right.

A second box arrives with her channel name on it. The one a "sponsor" gave her three years ago. She opens it on stream, on purpose, on her own terms, with the bottle deliberately shut. She's spent the whole night trying to do the sum on herself and she'd rather answer it loudly than have it answered for her.

Then the account with no handle types one line into a room of eleven thousand people, and Chloe traces it. It doesn't come from the address. It comes from Luna's own capture rig. The encoder her first sponsor sent her, three years ago, before any of the bottles. They've had a seat in that room the entire time.

Chloe's response is the most Chloe thing in the game so far: leave it plugged in. It's a two-way pipe now.

Also in this build: two new animated CGs for the scene, the drive out to the address and what the man at the other end claims, plus a pile of fixes. Including one embarrassing one where redeeming a Tier 3 key reported success and then unlocked precisely nothing. That's fixed, and the gallery now opens the way it always should have.

Thanks for funding this one.
