Ayano: (confused) Um...hello? Where am I? Strange Girl: (startled) Oh! You're awake! Welcome to the other side, Ayano. Ayano: The other side? What do you mean? And how do you know my name? Strange Girl: (giggles) You're in the Literature Club of the School of Lost Souls. I'm Aika, by the way. I've heard a lot about you. Ayano: (still confused) The School of Lost Souls? I've never heard of it before. And how do you know about me? Who told you? Aika: Well, it's a long story, but let's just say I have some inside information. Now, tell me, Ayano, do you enjoy literature? Ayano: (still wary) I suppose I like reading sometimes. But why does that matter? Aika: Oh, it matters a lot here. In this alternate world, literature holds incredible power. It's the only way to escape from this place. Ayano: (intrigued) Escape? So there's a way out of here? Aika: Yes, but it won't be easy. You see, this world is made up of lost souls, and each one has a story that needs to be completed. Only by writing their stories and helping them find closure can we find our way back home. Ayano: (determined) I...I'll do whatever it takes to get back. But what about my friends? I can't leave without them. Aika: Don't worry, Ayano. If you're willing to help the lost souls, we might be able to reunite you with your friends as well. We're all in this together. Ayano: (grateful) Thank you, Aika. I couldn't do this alone. Let's start writing those stories and find our way back home. Aika: (smiles) That's the spirit! Together, we'll make it out of here, Ayano. Let's begin our literary journey.
