To keep her safe, the Sisters of Fate demand the Brothers bring Alyssa to Glory Academy in the Celestial Realm.

With both groups vying for her attention, Alyssa isn't sure she'll be able to help anyone, including herself.

Spirited Away Fanfiction: Chihiro is 20 and at university. Her brush with the Spirit World still influences her life today.
