Tale of Abandonment on a Moonlit Night

"Now, let's go see our real mother and father."

- Hänsel and Gretel

Abandoned on a Moonlit Night is a song released by Akuno-P released on October 6, 2008. It is the seventh song in the Original Sin Story and a sequel to Moonlit Bear.

Plot
In Held's Forest , Hänsel and Gretel follow their parents into the woods, asking where they are going and if they'll get to eat when they get there. Soon they realize they will become lost if they continue on the path, and both are abandoned "like Hänsel and Gretel." As they both wandered through the forest for some time, they find a little glass bottle and filled it with moonlight to illuminate the path. Finally, they reach the house, but by this time they mistake it for a "witch's house". The two shove their mother off into an oven, believing that killing the "evil witch" will make them happy. They ask for praise from their parents, Gretel for defeating the "evil witch" and Hänsel for defeating her "evil henchman". At the song's end, they decide this is a good place to settle, as it reminds them of their home. They resolve to go find their "real mother and father".

Moonlit Bear
Moonlit Bear explains Hänsel and Gretel's past, as it describes the death of their real mother and their theft at the hands of Eve Moonlit.

Chrono Story
Chrono Story chronicles the events that occurred directly after Hänsel and Gretel killed Adam and Eve Moonlit, finding the Original Sin among their foster mother's ashes.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The song is based on the Brothers Grimm tale "Hänsel &amp; Gretel".
 * Initially, mothy planned for an entirely different song while producing it, wanting to name it "Zoo Detention".
 * Like Moonlit Bear, Full Moon Laboratory, and Escape of Salmhofer the Witch, the story takes place on a moonlit night; the moon is often associated with madness and is the origin of the word "lunacy".

Curiosities

 * A short story elaborating on the events in the song is included in Waltz of Evil: The Deadly Sins of Evil Guidebook.
 * The glass bottle present in the song seems to be the same one seen in Moonlit Bear; a similar glass bottle appears in Regret Message.
 * In Chrono Story, the twins seem aware that the "witch" they killed was their foster mother, contrasting their apparent ignorance in Abandoned on a Moonlit Night.
 * Gretel's curiosity about tasty snacks to eat references Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche and her love for snacks, particularly brioche.
 * Their uncertainty on whether or not they travel along the "right path" parallels Moonlit Bear, where Eve describes that the "right path" had already been lost; both situations involved outward lunacy on a moonlit night through Held's Forest.
 * Both songs also share the same melody during that part, although at a different pace.
 * The song's opening melody is heard at the end of Moonlit Bear.
