"Tales say the moon bewitch man. But, in reality, man despairs at the moon."
-La Luna's Entry
La Luna (D-01-105) is an Abnormality in form of a duo; a female pianist and an old-fashioned piano. The piano has gold decals on the front and melted candles on top. At its feet, there are blackened and shrunken heads.
The pianist wears a veil which covers the upper part of her face. She wears a long-sleeved dress which covers her arms and legs. On her head, she wears a dark rose. She sits on a chair, similar to the piano's, and holds a long cane.
Ability
La Luna's special ability will trigger when its Qliphoth Counter reaches 0. The counter can decrease through the following:
- By getting a Bad Result, its Qliphoth Counter decreases by 1.
- By getting a Normal Result, its Qliphoth counter decreases by 1 with medium chance.
- When performing Performance, its Qliphoth Counter decreases by 1.
- Each 3rd Special Work will drop its Qliphoth Counter to 0.
When using La Luna's Special Work " Performance", which replaces Insight; an employee starts to play the piano. During the performance, Temperance and Justice of all employees in facility will be boosted. After the performance the employee's HP will be halved.
Once the Qliphoth Counter reaches 0, the woman will burst into black flames and appear out of the containment, somewhere else in the facility. During breach she wears a mask and uses her cane as a weapon. She deals average Red Damage during her regular attack and high Black Damage during her special attack, a charge attack with black flames. She will return into her containment room when the performance (When triggered by the special work, making the employee unable to get out) is over or after being suppressed.
If the special work triggered her breach, the Agent inside it cannot get out, even after all the E-Boxes have been filled, and will start to take damage like when failing at work until the Abnormality returns to containment.
Origin
Part of the pianist's origin comes from a newspaper's information that tells how she was a greatest pianist who plays Sonata, and where the third movement came, the audience could barely keep sit down. After an unspecific amount of time, she left her place to go to the 'moon', leaving behind the piano that she used to play.
When was the time to contain the Abnormality, the employees met a silent woman covered by a veil and the piano of the pianist. People who approached to the woman, soon playing, regardless of the knowing of music arts or how to do the performance, they played perfectly Sonata. However, those who play the first movement tend to disappear to the 'moon' without a trace.
The piano and woman were found and contained together but is not specified when or where they were found.
Details
The Abnormality responds to the four works in order of best to worst, varying with the next works: Insight ( Performance), Attachment, Instinct, and Repression.
Like all Abnormalities, its energy output is determined by the number of PE Boxes (Positive Enkephalin boxes) at the end of the interaction.
La Luna's emotional state is divided into 3 sections: Bad, Normal, and Good. Completing 0-6 E Boxes will cause it to feel Distressed, completing 7-12 will cause it to feel Normal, and 13-20 will make it's mood result Happy. Its usual waiting time after a task is around 15 seconds. Its Qliphoth Counter is 3.

Story
- This Abnormality is made based on the idea of the Tumblbug backer '에레(Ere)'
An old woman with a piano next to her. Her eyes are usually closed.
She only nods instead of speaking. But in rare occasion, she faintly smiles.
- <Excerpt from an article of newspaper>
The world’s greatest pianist, (Redacted) always showed the best performance when playing Sonata, which is her favorite. Many praised her excellent skill. Some people couldn’t even stay sit when she plays third movement because of the overflowing energy and madness of her performance.
In her now empty place, from where she left for the moon, are the piano she used since her childhood, and Shrunken Heads which allow us to delve into her mind.
- <Counseling audio record of employee (Redacted)>
“We didn’t see anything peculiar when we went to secure it. There was just some lady sitting there. It was like she was waiting for us to come.
What happened when one of us approached her?
He didn’t know a thing about art or music. But before we knew it, he was playing the first movement of Sonata.
And the lady smiled.
….To be honest, I don’t think I will ever listen to a piano performance that beautiful again.
We couldn’t see him again.
That’s why you need my testimony, right?
Because I played the third movement."
(Omitted)
- "I don’t know how or why it makes you play. Your hands just move. And you feel… euphoric while playing. Everything around you fades away. It’s just you and the piano. After I finished playing, exhausted, I realized that what I was stepping on was not pedals but severed heads. "
- “…The moon represents the human psyche.
People often say that the moon is beautiful.
But when enough time passed, when you look at it and see what kind of face it truly has,
you will realize you were madly in love with something so broken and shattered. In the end, we all become moon. Because we can’t bear ourselves."
Flavour Text
- "We can feel the passion and fire emerging from the deep inside."
- "Even without a score, La Luna will allow anyone to make the greatest performance in their life."
- "Sonata being played while the performer is possessed by the moon is breathtakingly alluring to the point it shatters the wall between men."
- "Music frees all with no prejudice."
Trivia
- This Abnormality is made based on the idea of the Tumblbug backer '에레(Ere)'
- 'La Luna' translate to 'The Moon' in Spanish and Italian.
- During Performance and breach, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is played: 1st movement during performance and 3rd movement during breach.
- La Luna takes the most space in the containment room. Almost reaching the door but touching the Working employee.
- Despite the fact that La Luna's information page claims that she cannot breach, she can indeed breach containment.
- Unlike other breaching abnormalities, including those that say they are non-escape objects, it will not have static on its containment room even when the employee is not in the containment room. It is unknown if it is a bug.
- For this reason her suppression doesn't count in Hod's "I Want To Be A Good Person" and Gebura's "Purpose of Pain 2" missions. It is unknown if it is a bug.
