Sakuramoria

Upon seeing the sight before her, Leila first rubbed her eyes and pinched herself, as if to check if she was hallucinating. Then she turned to her companions, whose pale faces spoke volumes: "No, this is not a hallucination." For a "quiet and peaceful town where nothing happens," Alma was surprisingly full of eccentrics, as well as strange, tragic, and unsettling events. It was hard not to recall the words about a seemingly calm place hiding dark secrets. This once again led the girl to believe that what had happened at NAILS was hardly a random coincidence—it was a pattern. And if before, the time mage had suspected that the elections at NAILS were some kind of social experiment, now it seemed that the entire town of Alma was that experiment, although NAILS was its main element. "I must congratulate you, Ladia, it seems you were right," Leila said in a somber tone, "there's too much effort for a simple attraction. I think we should reunite with the others, if a squad of skeletons or other evil creatures doesn't attack us from around the corner, and report this to General Mandrake."
