You lie quietly on a meadow and scroll on your phone. You open Wattpad and read for a while until your gaze gets stuck on a profile. You tap the "Follow" button.
          
          Suddenly the sky darkens and a book falls at your feet. Startled, you jump up and look around, but no one is standing near you.
          
          After a few seconds, curiosity overcomes you and you open the book in front of you. Music sounds. Somehow it seems familiar to you, but you can't place it.
