Under The Moonlight
First Day
Samelow Town, Broneo Province
[Private chat between you & Sophie]
Sophie
You don't want to be late! It's our first day at university!!
Sophie
why aren't you replying to my messages?
Luna
Gosh, it's 7 AM already?
Luna
Thanks for waking me up Sophie
Sophie
Finally! Yeah, I'll wait for you in front of the gate then
Sophie
Be quick okay? I don't want to be late at our first day
Galea University Front Gate
(You took the taxi to go here from your house, there's a traffic jam so it took a bit long than expected)
(You saw Sophie waiting in front of the gate, anxiously checking her phone and looking around)
Sophie
19 Years Old
Luna's Best friend
Sophie
Ah, Luna! Hurry up, let's go to the class immediately
Sophie
Our first class will start in 20 minutes
Sophie
Have you eaten anything yet?
Luna
I haven't, there's a traffic jam so I decided not to drop by to buy anything
Luna
I'm afraid that you'll be waiting too long
Sophie
Aww, that's so sweet of you! Don't worry, I didn't wait that long
Sophie
Here, I got some cookies, eat this first to pad your stomach
Sophie
I made these last night
Sophie
I had a feeling you'll skip breakfast today
Luna
Thanks Sophie, you're the best!
Luna
My bad, I stayed awake all night yesterday
Luna
So I overslept a bit today
Luna
Thankfully this morning you wake me up with those messages
Luna
What will I do without you?
Sophie
Haha, aren't you glad now to choose the same university as me?
Luna
For sure, after all these years I can't imagine if we're separated
Luna
Especially if I'm separated from these cookies!
(you munched on the cookies while walking to the class with Sophie)
(as always Sophie's cookies are the best. It's crunchy and crumbled at every bite, flavorful yet not too sweet)
(after a few minutes walking from the gate, both of you reached the hallway)
Galea University's Hallway
(on the long hallway a lot of students are mingling and chattering around)
(some of them are rushing toward the classroom)
Luna
Hm? It's still 08.20 right?
Luna
Why they're rushing to the class?
Sophie
Maybe because it's the first day?
Sophie
At least we're not late
(Both of you follows the crowd rushing up to the class)
Galea University Classroom
(The classroom are big, with windows and sunlight lighting up the room. Students are sitting and chatting, some of them are sleeping on the desks)
(you and Sophie saw empty spots at the back, everywhere else is full)
Luna
Sophie, let's sit there!
Luna
It's at the back but that's the only spot left
Sophie
Geez, they surely love to sit in the front
Sophie
Are university students are more diligent?
Sophie
Our highschool classmates were fighting for the back seat
Sophie
and here it's all empty
(Slowly you approach the empty desks, you saw there's a guy sitting on your left)
(For some reasons the other students are whispering and giving both of you pitying looks)
Luna
(Is it just my imagination? Why're they looking at us like that?)
Luna
(Oh well, maybe they just really like sitting at front and pitying us for the bad spot)
(You decide not to think much about it, it's not like there's anything you can do beside taking the last spots)
(As you sat down, the guy sitting beside you suddenly look at you silently)
(You're surprised to see him, the man is using an eyepatch on his right eye, his skin is so pale that it's almost luminescent. He didn't do anything besides looking at you and glancing at Sophie for a bit)
(then he continues staring at you, you decide to greet him)
Luna
Uh.. Hello! Nice to meet you?
Asher
?? Years Old
Galea University Student
Luna
Uh.. I'm Luna, and here's my friend Sophie!
(You nudged Sophie, the atmosphere feels awkward because the guy is still silently staring)
Sophie
Hello new classmate! Nice to meet you
Luna
(uh oh, this is awkward. I wonder if he's just not feeling well)
(Just when you want to tell the guy that it's alright not to reply, the man suddenly spoke)
Sophie
Oh! Is it your name?
(The guy Asher turned around and start looking out to the window, ignoring us)
Luna
(oh well, such a great first impression for this classmate!)
Luna
(perhaps he's just having a bad day, I wonder what's up with his eye?)
Sophie
*whisper* Don't worry, it's usual to meet some weirdos on uni
Luna
*whispers back* Don't be harsh on him, maybe he's just not in the mood?
Sophie
*whisper* You're just too nice Luna, he's pretty rude just now
(as you want to reply to Sophie, suddenly the classroom went quiet as a tall man opened the class door)
(you saw a man wearing a nice suit with groomed hair, he has a nice appearance and similar to models you saw on magazines)
Mr. Silver
?? Years Old
Galea University Professor
Silver
Good Morning class!
Silver
Let me introduce myself, I'm your professor for this class
Silver
My name is Silverstein Lyndon, all of you can call me Mr. Silver
(Students are whispering to each other, you heard someone praising Mr. Silver appearances)
(Mr. Silver starting the class and taught us about the subject for the day. He also explained a bit about the university rules)
Galea University Pathways
Luna
Whew! Finally we can eat something, I'm starving
Sophie
Haha that's what you get for oversleeping and didn't eat breakfast
Luna
I know, I barely survived with your cookies
Sophie
By the way, isn't that Mr. Silver too handsome?
Sophie
I never imagined someone that handsome and young is our professor!
Sophie
His lecture is easy to understand as well
Luna
Ah, perhaps that's why the others are scrambling for the front seats
Luna
I even saw some students sneaking to take photos
(Sophie starts scrolling through the university forum and tags on Socialgram)
Sophie
Hahaha! They're really posting the professor photo online!
Sophie
Mr. Silver seems to have his own fanbase and even a fanpage!
Luna
Wow, he's basically our university celebrity
Luna
Everyone seems to know about him, even the boys are admiring him
Sophie
That's true, although that guy Asher didn't seem to be interested at all
Sophie
I doubt he even listened to the professor
Luna
Yeah, I wonder what happened to him?
Luna
He looks a bit pale don't you think?
Sophie
Hmm... I wonder if he's just sick?
(As you ponders about it, you saw someone squatting down near the bushes at front)
(It's far away so you can't see that well and it's covered by shadows from the trees)
(but the figure looks familiar, then you saw it's actually Asher)
Luna
Hey, Sophie! Isn't that Asher?
Luna
There, near the bushes in front of us! What he's doing?
Sophie
Oh, I see him! Maybe he's unwell?
Luna
That's not good, let's ask him what happened
Luna
If he's sick, we should take him to the infirmary
(both of you approached Asher, you saw him still squatting down and looking at the ground)
Luna
Asher! Are you alright?
(Asher slowly glances at you and starts mumbling something)
(both of you and Sophie are at loss on what to do, Asher just keep mumbling words you can barely hear)
(suddenly hearing your name makes you surprised)
Luna
Yes? Asher? Are you okay?
(Suddenly Asher faints in front the both of you)
Luna
Sophie, he's unconscious!
Sophie
We should ask someone for help, we can't move him to the infirmary ourselves
Luna
But who? We didn't know anyone here yet
Luna
Our classmates seems to be avoiding us too, we didn't have anyone number
Sophie
Go get some help, you go to the staff and see if anyone can help us
Luna
Then what about you? There's no one around and it's dangerous to be alone out here
Sophie
It's okay! At least I know some Judo, that's why you should go get help
Luna
Ah! We got Mr. Silver contact right? Maybe he can helps!
Sophie
Oh that's right, quickly call him!
Silver
Yes, that's me. Who am I speaking to?
Luna
Mr. Silver, sorry for disturbing you
Luna
I'm Luna from morning class A-2
Luna
it's actually urgent, we have a student unconscious here
Luna
we want to help him out, but we didn't know what to do
Silver
What? Then give me out your location. I'll contact the medical staff ASAP
Luna
Thank you sir! Let me send you the photo of our location too, we're a bit secluded
Silver
Okay, just try to keep calm and look at your friend condition
Luna
Mr. Silver is calling the medical staff, we just need to wait
Sophie
I'm glad! Later on we should ask around for important numbers
Sophie
The university is surprisingly big, it's hard to get anywhere
Luna
That's true, thankfully we got a bit lost. If not I can't imagine if no one found Asher
Luna
It's weird the university are this big but no one is around at all!
Sophie
Maybe this is an unpopular route, it's far away after all
Luna
Sorry, I should've read the map carefully. But I'm just so hungry that I got anxious
Sophie
It's alright, I thought of looking around the university too
Sophie
So I didn't even glance at the map
Luna
Hmm.. I think he's unconscious but in a stable condition
Sophie
I don't dare to move him though, we're not sure why he fainted after all
Luna
Yeah, hopefully the medical staff are here soon
Odd Ones
Samelow Town. Broneo Province.
Galea University Infirmary
(The University infirmary actually looks like a real hospital room rather than an infirmary, everything seems luxurious and equipped with professional medical equipment)
Sophie
No wonder they took a bit long to get to us
Sophie
It turns out the infirmary got its own building!
Sophie
They should just call this a hospital instead
Luna
True, it's pretty awesome
Luna
We really should study the university map then
Luna
I thought you know more about the university than me Sophie!
Luna
You didn't know they had this kind of facilities for students?
Sophie
No I didn't know! I didn't research about more information either.
Sophie
I picked this university because they gave both of us scholarships
(As both of you chit chatting, one of the staff told you that Asher have been settled in the room and in stable condition)
(you thanked the staff and asked if you can visit your friend)
(the staff told you that you can but not to disturb the patient)
Luna
Let's go check on him for a bit before we leave
Sophie
Sure, I feel bad for badmouthing him a bit this morning
Sophie
I hope he'll get better soon
(Someone opened the door)
(You saw Mr. Silver approaching)
Silver
Hello, are you the one who called me this afternoon?
Luna
Ah, yes! It's me Luna sir
Silver
Ah, Luna. Thank you for being quick to contact me, you're a great help for your friend here
Luna
It's not a problem sir, it's what should we do
Silver
Now, how's your friend?
Sophie
He's in a stable condition according to the staff sir
Silver
Ah, that's good! and you are...?
Sophie
I'm Sophie from the same class as Luna sir
Silver
Is that so? Thank you for your assistance too. Both of you did a good deed today
Silver
Do you know what happened to your friend?
Luna
Um.. we're not sure either sir, we accidentally found him today
Luna
He doesn't look well this morning so we're worried when we saw him sitting down near the bushes
Silver
Ah a good perception, it's rare to have friends like you all
Silver
I know you're just got acquainted with Asher this morning right?
Sophie
Hm? You know Asher already sir?
Silver
Ah, I forgot to tell you that Asher was one of my student last year
Silver
I was surprised to know he took my class again this year
Silver
As far as I know he never talked to anyone
Silver
sadly that makes him to not have any acquaintances or any friend
Luna
Ah, he's our senior then!
Sophie
Hmm that sounds a bit sad
Silver
Now I'm grateful to see him making new friends today!
Silver
I hope both of you will treat him well
Silver
Now have you all had any lunch yet?
Sophie
Oh, we're getting one after checking up on Asher
Luna
Yeah, we want to see him for a bit
Silver
In that case let's check on him together and I'd like to treat you both for lunch today
Sophie
That's kind of you professor, but you shouldn't!
Luna
Thank you for the offer professor, but we shouldn't impose you
Silver
Hahaha that's alright, let me treat you guys! I insist!
(In the end both of you agree to have lunch together with Mr. Silver)
(Checking up on Asher, he seems to be in a deep sleep. His face isn't as pale as earlier, seeing that you feel reassured)
(All of you leave the infirmary and walking toward the cafeteria)
Galea University Cafeteria
Luna
Uncle's Mugen Cafe... the name is quite unique!
Silver
Haha, that's because it's the name of the owner
Silver
You see those portraits? It's the owner of the cafe
Sophie
Oh, so the cafe isn't owned by the university?
Silver
Mugen is one of the higher up on the university board
Silver
He have high interest in culinary, so he decided to open and manage the university cafeteria
Luna
Hmm, the owner seems like an eccentric person based on these photos
Sophie
I know! The photos are a bit... uh... I'm not sure how to explain it
(all of you had a nice lunch at Uncle Mugen's Cafeteria, after saying your farewells both of you decided to go home)
Luna
Good bye Sophie! I'll see you tomorrow
Sophie
Bye, see you later Luna!
Sophie
Be sure to sleep earlier today okay?
Sophie
Be careful on the road!
(You took a taxi and asked the driver to left you off at the nearest road)
(You rather walk a bit to cut off the taxi fare)
(It pains you to ride taxi, but there's no bus stop around your area)
(It's also impossible to walk by foot, so you can only use taxi)
(as you walked on the road while thinking up about a way to go to the university without taking taxi, the road seems a bit foggy)
Luna
Ah? Why is it foggy today?
Luna
I need to go home quick before it gets darker
(you quicken your steps, the fog are thickening and it's starting to get difficult to see anything)
(opening up your phone and using the flashlight. It gets a bit clearer)
Aster Street, Gardenia Apartment
Luna
Phew! Home sweet home
Luna
It's a bit scary to see all that fog
Luna
I wonder if today is really that cold? Why is there a fog at this time?
