There was a time I did anything to be with someone. Someone I never really met; but someone who was real. But we all know how that story ended. I sacrificed everything just for that one goal and yet... I was alone in the darkness for so long and now I ended up here. Essentially a second chance at a life now gone. But right now things are-

Chapter 1: Déjà vu
Monika stared at the blank white page before her. Her journal was just waiting for the next entry to be recorded in it. But even though she had many thoughts that could be written down, she just couldn't find it in her to do it.
Negative emotions have their place in any genre in literature. Without them, the wealth of exclaimed stories wouldn't be so vast. But even knowing this, she still couldn't find it in her just to write the next log in her journal.
She tapped her heart-tipped pen against her right cheek as she thought about her research last night. She tried to find anything she could that could explain Shujinkou's condition, but she it was all for naught. She could only imagine how the other and his family felt about this.
"Penny for your thoughts?"
Monika looked up from her journal to find her alternate self standing beside her.

"A fix-it fic? What's it about?"
"Like all fix-it fics. Whether someone didn't like how something occurred in the original or just giving certain characters..." Monika Prime closed her sorrow filled eyes. "Certain characters a happier life..."
Her voice and how she carried herself, it was clear to Monika that her counterpart had been through some dark times. But before she could try and console her, she heard the sudden sound of plastic hitting the table plastic clattering against the wood table. Not too long after, she felt her right arm slip off the table. Strangely enough, she didn't feel it rubbing against anything as it did.
She looked down and to her horror, found that her arm was completely transparent.
"Hu-!?
