Episode 57
Lord Rabbit,
you said we'd go out and have some fun!
But I never said I wanted to leave Earth!
The Moon's got way fewer crowds, cheaper prices,
and you've got me as your local guide.
And,
I'll hook you up with my old friends, we even shared the same pair of pants.
Ah, did you wear pants?
I wonder how they're doing now.
My body feels so floaty.
The gravity here is different from Earth's.
I'll show you a shortcut,
straight to Jade Laurel Tree at Moon Palace.
Lord Rabbit,
Can...
Can we slow down a bit?
No traffic jams, no license plate restrictions in the rabbit hole.
Just run freely!
It's been too long,
the road gave way.
Wait a sec,
let me try to clear the road.
Where am I?
Holy cow,
they even built a subway here.
Let's take another way.
Where am I?
It wasn't like this before.
Is...
Is this still the Moon?
It's so futuristic.
Haven't seen you around before.
New here?
Job hunting?
Mooncake Factory
Jade Rabbit Mooncake Factory.
Full benefits, six insurances, one housing fund, meals and housing covered.
No work experience? No worries.
We'll provide on-the-job training.

Enough.
I've been gone a few years and you don't know me?
I'm the inventor of the Mixed Nuts Mooncake!
The Earth-Moon Mooncake Exchange Ambassador.
The Moon's Chief Mooncake Maker.
Sorry, Senior.
Forget it.
I came back to find my old friends.
Take a look, do you recognize any of these?
These are all our venerable elders.
If you're trying to find them now,
it might be a bit difficult.
How...
How could it be?
So it's already been
Fabulous Beasts
Eternal Friends
that long.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death, it's the cycle.
You cultivated hard on Earth,
got offerings from people,
There's a new shop over there,
so you live longer than them.
Really? Delicious!
Lord Rabbit.
Let's go to see the Laurel Tree!
Missing you on the Moon!

Ahead
Laurel Road
Right
Never thought
it'd grow this big.
When I was little,
I survived on nibbled laurel leaves.
Never even really look at this tree.
And then, I made it to the Moon Palace,
and finally got three square meals.
I met these guys right around then.
What a pity,
we never got to say goodbye properly.
All this time passed,
but these memories
made me who I am.
Memories...
Sorry,
my memories seem a bit hazy.
There's nothing more to say.
It's okay.
I just wanted to share my story with you.
Whenever you're ready
to talk about yours,
I'll still be here.
No rush.
Thank you.
