Her name was Alice.
She was not even in the same town as the four of us. The place where she lived was around four hours away by train. She called Allen late in the afternoon. They had a chat and confirmed that Alice was indeed one of us. She then made the plan to skip school in the morning and took the trip to our town to meet with us.
Allen picked her up at the train station, while Lara, Theo, and I sat at the cafe and waited. The cafe had meanwhile become our one and only hangout spot. It was a hassle to keep in touch because Lara and Allen had to buy phones every day. In the end, we developed a certain communication strategy. We would each come by the cafe at whatever time suitable for us and leave messages with the cafe staff.
The code words were "Afterlife Dream".
By utilizing this method, we were able to keep everyone informed of the newest updates. If there was something urgent, well naturally we had to buy phones and get in contact with everyone again.
