Underneath the glittering stars, it felt like stepping into another world entirely. The night at Yukihime High School truly was a magical experience not soon to be forgotten.

At a certain part of the campus, the outdoor movie night had drawn a large, lively crowd. An enormous inflatable screen had been set up on the soft, green grassy field, its edges barely visible in the gathering dusk. Rows upon rows of colorful blankets and lawn chairs were spread out before it, a patchwork quilt invitingly beckoning people to take a seat. The movie playing was a classic-one of those timeless feel-good films that never failed to bring smiles to the faces of everyone watching. Groups of friends huddled together, their laughter and chatter filling the air as they shared popcorn and drinks.

The scent of burning wood filled the air, mingling with the sounds of surprised screams and nervous laughter that drifted through the trees. Groups ventured into the darkness, their steps tentative and hearts racing with anticipation. The scare actors were masters of their craft, lurking in every shadow to startle and terrify the visitors. Some emerged from the forest with wide-eyed expressions and ragged breaths, while others came out grinning triumphantly, proud of having conquered their fears. As the night wore on and the moon shone down on the spooky scene, the Haunted Forest continued to draw in thrill-seekers eager for a heart-pumping experience.

Away from the bustling crowds and lively energy of the campus, a tranquil oasis awaited those seeking a more contemplative experience. The Stargazing Event beckoned with its promise of a closer connection to the vast expanse above. A gleaming telescope stood tall, its lens pointed towards the endless night sky.

With crystal-clear skies revealing the grandeur of the Milky Way, those who gazed into the depths of space were left humbled and in awe of our universe's infinite mysteries. Soft blankets were spread over the cool grass, inviting families to lay back and lose themselves in wonder as they traced the patterns of stars and connected them to ancient tales passed down through generations
