She thought that she was already crazy when she tried to manifest her admission to college before. She wasn't aware that her life could get even more exciting than that, especially when she reconnects with her ghoster and her high school crush, who never really paid attention to her before. Her boring life suddenly became full of adventures as she experienced each of her first times by navigating through her new reality with her stupid decisions.

At the same time, as she willingly peels off layers and layers of the facade that she usually puts on, she begins to doubt whether her connections with others were just sophistically crafted illusions.
