3 hours later that day.
Sunlight shines through the windows of the bus, as inside, it was empty. No one is on the seats, no leftover bags or items, not even a single chip of food. But all there was left was Trizha herself, sleeping in her own seat with a warm blanket covering her body, snoring and drooling with her head tilted down diagonally, smiling as if having a nice dream.
Suddenly, her phone, which is placed next to her seat where Wyne once sat, activates on its own and started making alarm clock sounds, waking Trizha up as she extends her hand to turn it off, yawning a little as she takes rubs her eyes, speaking in a tiring tone;
Trizha: "Are... are we there yet...?"
As she turns to her right, she notices that Wyne isn't there, and nor is the other side of the seat rows. She stays silent for a few seconds, before shrugging, thinking this is just her imagination, she goes back to sleep. Suddenly, she instantly sits up as she takes off her blanket in panic, a realization expression forming in her face.
Trizha: "Wait a dang second...!"
Trizha says as she immediately stood up, looking around and notices that everyone had left. She scratches her head with both hands in pure panic as she thinks that she's left behind.
Trizha: "Wyne, you idiot...!!"
Trizha calls out, before rushing outside the bus alongside all her stuff she brought for vacation. Once she stepped out of the bus, she was greeted with a girl that had her face hidden under her long black hair, who was standing beside her next to the door of the bus. Sadako?
???: "Trizhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Trizha: "AAAAHHHHHHH!!!"
Trizha shouted as she jumped in fear and surprise, sending shivers down her spine as her soul almost leaves her body, her eyes blank without pupils as she did so, too scared to move even slightly until a flash of light hit her and her senses returned, turning to what's in front of her; Wyne holding the urge to laugh in the distance and with T. Marcela next to her while holding a camera carried in her neck.
Trizha: "Wha- huh?!"
T. Marcela: "You're late! Blondie."
Wyne: "Trizha...! Y-you should see your face- WUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
Wyne stutters as she then bursts out of laughter, pointing a finger at Trizha teasingly and playfully.
Trizha just stares at the two in disbelief, before turning to the 'Sadako', who is giggling as she pushes away a strand of her bangs to show her face, which reveals to be Margaret.
Margaret: "The face of horror... hehehehe."
Trizha: "Margaret...!! Why?!?!"
Trizha then grabs both of Margaret's shoulders and moves her back and forth aggressively, her eyes leaving unshed tears. Suddenly, a hand was placed on Trizha's shoulder as T. Marcela appeared behind her with a warm smile filled with dangerous intent.
T. Marcela: "Hoy. I said you were 'late'."
She says in an intimidating tone, her seemingly innocent expression still scaring the butterflies out of Trizha's stomach as Trizha starts to move her hands around, trying to explain why she was late but too scared to do so, as she is aware that T. Marcela hates late students.
Trizha: "I-was-was i- w-was-"
T. Marcela: "Awawawawawawa- I DON'T CARE!"
T. Marcela says mockingly, then instantly delivers a hand chop straight to the top of Trizha's head harshly, making her groan in pain and hold her head, shouting an "Ouch!" As T. Marcela walks off while making an evil laugh, as if she enjoyed punishing Trizha.
Trizha: "Ow..."
Wyne: "Heh, better luck next time-"
Trizha then grabs Wyne by both of her shoulders and starts to move her aggressively like how she did it with Margaret, but even faster and more aggressively. Shouting at Wyne in "friendly" rage.
Trizha: "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
Wyne: "W-wait-! I'm going to puke- Nghh-!! Help...!"
Meanwhile, Margaret is moving around the two, her arms waving side by side at the same time as she tries to find a way to defuse the situation.
Margaret: "Trizha wait! This was Marcela's plan to..."
Realizing Trizha probably won't hear her, she just gives up and sighs in defeat, knowing she can't do anything.
Margaret: "Nevermind..."
Margaret then clasps both of her hands, praying for Wyne. But not praying for her survival, but for her to "Rest in Peace".
Wyne: "Hoy, Margaret- Hoy- HOY! HELP-! HOY!!!!!!"
Wyne shouted, her slow-minded personality thinks that Margaret is praying because she saw someone with a cross. At the same time, Trizha is making her pace on Wyne faster, until a sound of water praying is heard nearby and Trizha stops moving Wyne, her expression surprised while Wyne shows bubbles forming in her mouth and her expression shows unconsciousness.
Trizha: "Wow...! There's a fountain nearby!"
Trizha says as she finally lets go of Wyne and goes off to take photos of it and post it in her profile in social media, all rainbows and sunshines. Whilst Margaret catches Wyne, surprised that she actually survived.
Wyne: "D-did I make it...?"
Margaret: "Uhm... God said your mind is so slow that he lost patience waiting for you... so, no, sorry..."
Wyne: "I mean if I survived...!- Oh wait, I guess my speaking clearly proves that I did... tables turned, huh."
Wyne then slowly turns her head to Margaret, her expression shows exhaustion and allowance.
Wyne: "Yo-your turn to pull me out of here..."
With that, Margaret's eyes widened in sparkles and excitement, as she began to hold Wyne's shoulders and made her walk alongside her while following Trizha to where she was last seen.

Meanwhile, Trizha walks among the place, the floor polished finely, the sound of rivers flowing from nearby, and the sound of chattering from students surrounding the area, as some of them are either having a conversation or admiring the elegance of the outside of the La Luna Sangre Hotel.
A few seconds after that, Trizha encounters a large fountain with a statue of human holding a full moon at the center of it, as her eyes are immediately drawn to the movement of the water, whether it's the graceful arcs of jets, the cascading tiers, or the misty sprays shimmering in the sunlight. She was amazed at the sight of witnessing sparkles in the water, gasping softly in amusement as she took out her phone to take pictures then make a video of it.
Trizha: "So beautiful... like me, of course!"
Trizha giggles teasingly before she decides to turn around to continue her march. But then, she was surprised. Her mouth hung wide and low as she slowly lifted her head, her eyes at the one, extremely tall building that exists in front of her coming inside the areas of the hotel. This is a Tower, one that lies at the very center of the hotel. She doesn't know what this Tower is used for besides just simple crowd attraction... but from what her guts is telling her, this is the main Prom building.
Trizha: "Whoa..."
Trizha, dumbfounded, was amazed at the sight of such a tower. But she was then startled when she heard a loud shout of a middle-aged woman from a distance, as other students from nearby heard this and started to gather up from where the shouting was heard.
???: "Okay, gather up, gather up everyone!!"
In a short staircase leading to a large gate leading the inside of La Luna Sangre Hotel, where most students are gathering up and surrounding the shouting person along with Trizha entering the crowd, there comes a tall woman with short disheveled white hair and wears a black suit attire with a black coat behind her back... and she is holding a wooden bat in her left hand, along with an assistant beside her.
Yuri: "Listen up, everyone!! I am Yuri Calypso, owner and founder of the La Luna Sangre Hotel."
Everyone around gasps in surprise at the mention of Yuri being the founder of the supermassive hotel. Yuri then aggressively points her wooden bat at the crowd of students, her expression shows desire for... something.
Yuri: "You people are from the JT International School, right?! Hopping on to have a vacation in my place?"
The crowd of students just nodded, some nervously doing and some just nonchalantly, some are not, as usual.
Yuri: "I see... in that case, HAND OVER YOUR WALLETS!"
The students just gasp in shock at what they just heard, an aggressive and forceful favor from the owner is... unexpected. Suddenly, the assistant beside Yuri smacks her head with a paper bat.
The assistant: "Are you out of your mind?!"
Yuri: "What? This is business, as you can see-"
The assistant: "HOW'S THAT BUSINESS?! YOU ARE STRAIGHT UP ROBBING THEM!"
Yuri: "So? All in exchange for their enjoyment. Great deal, right?"
Yuri says as she grins with giggling, before turning to the crowd of students with a confident expression.
Yuri: "Anyways... without further adieu...! Let's all enter my hotel made by me brick by brick!"
Yuri shouted as she pointed her bat towards the large gates of the hotel, as others prepared. However, the assistant started to protest.
The assistant: "Admit it. All you did was sit down in a pile of cash while construction workers suffered to build the entirety of the hotel."
Yuri: "Eh. At least I did the blueprint."
The assistant: "Lies! You forced me to draw the whole thing without any break!"
Yuri: "Alright, enough talk."
Yuri then begins to walk forward, the students follow her along with some of the teachers helping to lead for the students, and Trizha and the other two; the ridiculously near-death Wyne and smiling Margaret following along, as everyone enters the hotel through the gates.
And as they all enter, the students all gasp at the sight of pure beauty and elegance of the hotel's structure; Green bushes surrounding some of the infrastructure and many more, massive buildings of long width and length connected in an octagon-shaped formation, an entire yard inside within the connected buildings, and one single and thin width but extremely long building that's three times the size of all other buildings. Others are considered unexplainable, after all, the entirety of La Luna Sangre Hotel is... rather heavenly and beautiful.
Random Student 1: "Whoa... will you look at that..."
Random Student 2: "The structure, the curves, the design... all of it is just amazing..."
Random Student 3: "Oh now mom would be proud of me for witnessing such heaven...!"
While the students admire and send praises through the design of the hotel, Yuri is watching from the distance, her face filled with satisfaction of fulfilled expectations with her hands on her hips, smiling widely and proudly to herself.
Yuri: "Hahh... I love this feeling...! Good work, my amazing imagination and hardworking skills of 10 years!"
The assistant next to her then lightly smacks the back of Yuri's head with a hand chop
The Assistant: "Oy."
Meanwhile, Trizha is recording a live vlog nearby using her phone, whilst T. Marcela is helping Margaret bring Wyne's body back to its senses by slapping her face repeatedly on both sides.
Trizha: "Heya, everyone! Izha here, in the La Luna Sangre Hotel...!"
Trizha says as she makes space for her camera to witness more of the La Luna Sangre Hotel, while she walks forward to find more interesting parts of the hotel, comments flooding the comment section of her video. (Izha is her social media name.)
Trizha: "Is there anything deep about the hotel, you guys ask? No, I just got here. But don't worry! Once we enter the inside of the hotel, I'll show you all around! They even said that there's a pool here... wow!"
Trizha says cheerfully as she giggles, continuing to walk around, touring the viewers around the hotel as she does so herself.
Trizha: "As you guys can see... this Hotel is really huge! But not as huge as that one fat streamer HAHAHAHA no I'm kidding, I'm kidding don't send hate-..."
Suddenly, while Trizha was vlogging, she noticed Nomoro in her camera view, his back turned, and knelt down in front of a black cat, patting it gently and softly... her smile fades, as she remembers the same cat long ago as she realizes what she did and didn't do...
As well as the thought of that one time when she had treated Nomoro horribly... her face Then started to sweat as a pang of guilt and nervousness hit her inside, as she stared at Nomoro through the screen of her live vlog video for a few seconds, before suddenly cutting the vlog and turning off her phone without warning or telling her viewers and followers.
This... was something Trizha wouldn't do, cutting off her passion while performing it just because of something. She's the type to not stop until she finishes her video. But now, everything seemed to change her view of passion after that last encounter with Nomoro days ago.
And so, she storms away, trying not to get caught by Nomoro's attention. And when Nomoro finally notices Trizha, he turns to look at her, but she is already gone...
