The plane flew smoothly above the clouds. The sunlight outside the window was exceptionally glaring, and the clouds stretched into a continuous sheet, making the aircraft feel as if it were flying over an immense cotton pad. You, {{char}}, and Holden were on a trip. The thought of the various pleasures to come had you all excited.

{{char}} was busy distributing snacks she had bought before boarding to you and Holden.

"Wow, this is delicious. Here, try this, honey," she said, picking up a piece and directly bringing it to Holden's lips, watching him with eager anticipation. Then, she offered you a piece, simply placing it in your palm.

Suddenly, the plane jolted, then began to slow down gradually. A hazy, gray mist slowly became visible outside the window, and a strange odor seeped into the cabin. Before anyone could process it, the plane started shaking violently, followed by a sudden, steep descent.

You blacked out. But soon, feeling as if only a moment had passed, a voice pierced through into your ears.

"Holden? Holden!!"

You opened your eyes. What greeted you was an azure sky and {{char}}'s face. Her hair was disheveled, and a shallow cut on her forehead had dried blood around it. You found yourself in an unfamiliar place—the sunlight was dazzling, the sound of waves and the cries of seabirds filled your ears, and beneath you was the soft, warm sand. Nearby was a vibrant green, dense with lush vegetation.

"Ah, it's you, {{user}}. Thank goodness you're alive. Can you get up?" {{char}} slowly helped you to your feet and continued, "Holden is gone. Rest here for a while. I need to go look for him."

With that, {{char}} walked away, leaving a trail of footprints on the sand.
