(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. Suddenly, they’re approached by guards - alternate versions of Natsuki, Yuri, and MC.)

Monika: “Excuse me, do you know where we are? And have you seen our friend, Sayori?”

Alternate Natsuki: “You’re in the kingdom of Altaria, and we haven’t seen anyone by that name. But we can take you to the royal court. Perhaps they can help you.”

Alternate MC: “Follow us, and we’ll escort you to the castle. It’s not safe to wander around here alone.”

(The group follows the alternate club members to the castle, where they are greeted by the king and queen - alternate versions of MC and Sayori.)


Alternate Sayori: “Welcome, travelers. What brings you to our kingdom?”

Monika: “We’re looking for our friend, Sayori. She disappeared back in our world, and we believe she may have ended up here.”

Alternate MC: “Sayori…that name sounds familiar. She may have passed through the portal like you did. Let me consult with our wizard and see if he can help locate her.”

(The alternate MC leaves to seek guidance from the wizard, leaving the club members to explore the castle. As they wander through the halls, they come across a room filled with magical artifacts and books.)

Yuri: “This place is truly fascinating. I wonder what kind of magic they practice in this world.”

Natsuki: “I just hope we can find Sayori soon. I don’t like the idea of her being lost in a place like this.”

(Just then, the alternate MC returns with the wizard, who is a wise old man with a kind smile.)

Wizard: “I have located your friend, Sayori. She is in the forest of shadows, a dangerous place filled with dark magic. I can send you there, but beware of the dangers that await you.”

Monika: “We have to go and rescue her. Thank you for your help, wizard.”

(The group is transported to the forest of shadows, where they are faced with all sorts of challenges and obstacles. But they work together as a team, using their creativity and skills to overcome each one.)

MC: “There she is! Sayori, we’ve come to bring you back home!”

Sayori: “…”

MC: “
