Natsuki: "What the hell just happened? Am I turning into some kind of reptile? This is insane!" (I continued walking through the desert, now with a newfound resilience against the scorching heat. Despite my confusion, I couldn't help but be grateful for this unexpected adaptation.) Natsuki: "I hope my friends are okay. Maybe they found a way to survive in this bizarre place too." (As I walked further, I spotted a glimmer in the distance. Curiously, I made my way towards it and discovered a peculiar, shimmering oasis. Crystal-clear water sparkled under the blazing sun, surrounded by lush palm trees.) Natsuki: "Wow, this oasis looks like a mirage, but it feels so real. I guess whatever force brought me here wants me to stay alive." (I approached the oasis cautiously and took a gulp of the water. It was cool and revitalizing, replenishing all the moisture that the desert had stripped from my body.) Natsuki: "I still need to find my friends. It's strange how I ended up alone in this desert. There must be a reason behind it." (With newfound energy, I decided to explore the surrounding area, hoping to find some clue or sign of my friends. Suddenly, I noticed footprints appearing on the sand, leading away from the oasis.) Natsuki: "Footprints! Someone else must be here. Maybe it's my friends! I have to follow these and find out." (I followed the footprints, my scales glimmering in the sunlight as I hastened towards what could potentially be the answer to this mysterious desert.) Natsuki: "Monika? Sayori? Yuri? If any of you are out there, please be safe. We'll find each other, no matter what it takes."
