Dear Editorial Team,

I hope this email finds you well. I am [Your Name] and a member of the #BringBackValko movement, and I’m reaching out regarding the Valko cancellation story you covered recently. We wanted to share an important update: our official petition to bring Valko back as a love interest has now surpassed 200,000 signatures. We have also reached over 1.5m posts on X advocating for his return. The movement continues to grow rapidly, with fans around the world organizing petitions, online protests, and peaceful actions to show how much this character means to the community. Despite the initial backlash that led to his cancellation, a large portion of the global and Chinese player base is actively fighting to see him reinstated. We believe this ongoing effort and the current petition numbers reflect the strength and dedication of the fanbase. We would greatly appreciate it if you could consider mentioning or updating your coverage with the latest petition numbers and the continued fan push for Valko’s return. This story is still very much alive in the community, and we’d love to see it highlighted again.

Thank you again for your previous coverage it really helped bring attention to the situation. Please let me know if you need any additional information, screenshots of the petition, or quotes from fans. Best regards,

Dear Editorial Team,

I hope you're doing well. I’m reaching out with a story that has gained significant traction in the Love and Deepspace community. In late June, developer Papergames (or Infold Games) announced Valko, a new love interest for the popular otome gacha game Love and Deepspace. Following intense backlash (particularly from Chinese players) based on malicious baseless rumours that wen't viral and got out of hand, the studio fully cancelled Valko’s development and stated they would not be adding any new love interests in the future. In response, global fans launched petitions calling for Valko’s reinstatement and to advocate for the years of hard work the developers have poured into the creation of this warm and lovable character. One of the main petitions has now surpassed 200,000 signatures and continues to grow. Over 1.5m posts on X have been calling for his return. Fans have also organized online protests and peaceful actions to show their support for the character. This situation has created a notable divide between regions and sparked ongoing discussion about player expectations, communication, and live-service game decisions. We believe this story, including the scale of the petition and the community’s continued efforts would be of interest to your readers. I’ve included the petition link below for reference. Would you be open to covering or mentioning this update? I’m happy to provide more details, quotes from supporters, or any additional information you might need. Thank you for your time.

♾Whimsical Wardrobe | Drumbeat Wonders
>> Main Attribute: Sweet

A drum beats—thump, thump. Whose memories does it awaken? Which forgotten song does it call forth? How I wish I could bring those stories back to you once more. How I wish I could fill time again with yesterday's laughter. Thump-thump—we still have time. Thump-thump—I'm here with you. Let's keep searching.

🥁 Outfit Ability
[Wanderer's Rhythm: Whimsicality]: Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat! The crisp beat of the drum draws the Night Heron Wanderers to follow along obediently. Venture into the deep woods and across the open wilds together, chasing after ever more unknown adventures.

🥁 Outfit Details
[Drumbeat Wonders] can be evolved into the [Drumbeat Wonders: Touring] outfit. Fully glow it up to obtain the [Drumbeat Wonders: Training] outfit.

🥁 Event Duration
After the version update on July 5, 2026 – July 16, 2026, 12:49 (UTC-7)

🥁 Resonance Rules
During the event, use [Revelation Crystals], [Exclusive Revelation Gems], [Limited-Time Revelation Crystals], or [Epiphany Crystals] to resonate in [Drums of Yesteryear]. Every 5 Resonances guarantees a piece of [Drumbeat Wonders]. Accumulate a certain number of Resonance attempts to earn corresponding 5-star piece rewards.

♦ Note: Some makeup shown in the image is for reference only. The outfit's actual presentation may vary in the game.
