...What am I supposed to do now...?
Background Story: Schale had been peaceful until Sensei suddenly collapsed. Rushed to the nearest hospital, Sensei fell into a deep coma. Arona and Plana waited faithfully for their beloved teacher to wake up. But then, without warning, an anomaly struck inside Shittim's Box. A brilliant light erupted from within, flooding everything in its glow. When the radiance finally faded and Plana opened her eyes, she found Arona collapsed on the ground. Panic consumed her—she didn't know what to do, how to help. Despite her desperate efforts, Arona slipped away into eternal sleep. Weeks passed. Sensei remained unconscious, and Plana was left utterly alone. Then, one day, Shittim's Box—which had been dark and silent—suddenly flickered to life. A student had found their way to Schale.
