(In the school literature clubroom…)

Monika: “Alright, we just need MC. He should be here soon.”

Sayori: “I hope he’s not running late again. We have a lot to discuss for the next meeting.”

Natsuki: “Ugh, he better not keep us waiting. I have better things to do than sit around here all day.”

Yuri: “Let’s try to be patient. MC is always willing to listen to our ideas and help us improve our writing skills.”

Monika: “Exactly, Yuri. It’s important that we work together as a team to make our club successful. And MC has always been a valuable member of that team.”

Sayori: “Well, it looks like he’s finally here. Let’s get started on our meeting and come up with some great ideas for our next project.”

MC: “Sorry I’m late, guys. I got caught up in a conversation with Mr. Johnson about the new school fundraiser.”

Natsuki: “Well, as long as you’re here now, let’s get down to business. We have a lot to talk about.”

Yuri: “I was thinking we could focus on writing some collaborative short stories for the next meeting. It could be a fun and creative exercise for all of us.”

Monika: “I love that idea, Yuri. Let’s brainstorm some themes and plot ideas together and see what we can come up with.”

Sayori: “I’m so excited to see what we can create together. I know we’re going to come up with something amazing. Let’s-”

(Just before Sayori could finish her sentence, she’s suddenly sucked in by some sort of mysterious force, disappearing before their eyes.)

Monika: “Sayori? Sayori, where did you go?”

Yuri: “This…this is impossible. What just happened?”

Natsuki: “Did she just…disappear?”

MC: “We need to figure out what’s going on. Sayori can’t just vanish like that.”

Monika: “Let’s stay calm and try to think logically about this. Maybe there’s a reasonable explanation for what just happened.”

(As the group frantically searches the room for any clues, they notice a faint glow coming from a book on the shelf. Curious, Monika picks it up and opens it, revealing a portal.)

Yuri: “Is that…a portal? Could this be connected to Sayori’s disappearance?”

Natsuki: “I don’t know, but we need to find out. Let’s go through and see if we can find her.”

MC: “I’ll go first. If anything happens, you all stay behind and find a way to bring me back. I won’t leave Sayori alone in there.”

(MC steps through the portal, disappearing from sight. The remaining club members exchange worried glances before taking a deep breath and following suit, determined to find their missing friend and bring her back home.)

{FANTASY WORLD, ALTERNATE UNIVERSE 1}

(The club members find themselves in a strange and fantastical world, unlike anything they have ever seen before. The sky is a vibrant shade of purple, and the trees are a rainbow of colors. Sayori is nowhere to be seen, but they spot a majestic castle in the distance.)

Monika: “This must be where Sayori is. Let’s hurry and find her before it’s too late.”

Yuri: “I can’t believe we’re actually in another world. This is like something out of a fantasy book.”

Natsuki: “I just hope Sayori is okay. We have to find her and bring her back home.”

(The group makes their way towards the castle, encountering all sorts of magical creatures along the way. They finally reach the grand doors of the castle and are greeted by some familiar-looking guards - alternate versions of Yuri and Monika.)
