Vera walked through another door with the stranger.
She turned on the light in the room and saw a friend, along with others around her age.
Soon after, they sat down in a circle.
"Let's do a self-introduction!" said one person.
"Sure," some of them agreed.
"I'll go first!" one person said, and they all nodded in agreement.
"My name is Vivian, and I don't really know what to say, but... I'm so happy to finally meet new people!" said Vivian enthusiastically.
"Vivian, I think that's enough, let others talk!" someone chimed in, while others laughed quietly.
"Me, I want to go next!" Vera said. "I'm Vera, and I'm wondering, how did you all notice that Vivian was a chatty person?"
"The moment we met her!" another person replied.
"Next!" someone called out.
"Okay, I'm Charlie, and I like to buy and try on clothes!" he said.
"I thought only girls liked buying and trying on clothes.
I guess the universe has proven me wrong!" said Vivian.
"I know, right?" Vera added.
"Okay, I'm Max, and I like to read," said Max.
"Listen up, we have two new people joining our group!" Max announced.
"This is the professor. You can call him that, or call him by his name, Matt."
"Why do you call him the professor?" Charlie asked.
"Because he is a professor, or at least he was one at this school," Max replied.
"Okay, moving on! This is Lottie, and she said she's Vera's friend, but also her sister!" Max added.
They all closed their eyes to rest and slept peacefully.
