It has been years since Coraline had defeated The Other Mother/Bedlam to get her life back on track. Things had been better between her and her parents and she had become close friends with Wybie. She had started staying in touch with him as the two got older. Coraline eventually went to college and got her own dorm room. It became a time in her life she learned to enjoy. One day, she was alone in her room pouring herself some cereal and enjoying rain outside her window. As she ate, she was texting with Wybie.
While Coraline was at college, Wybie had stayed behind. He was still helping with the "Pink Palace Apartments". Wybie goes to the college that is at home. Once Coraline was finished texting with Wybie, she then took one last spoon of cereal she had made for herself then looked out the window one last time. Coraline had lived in the apartment all her life. She understood that she was one in many people. Now in her freshman year of college, now at the age of 18, she was starting to realize living in a dorm all by herself was becoming very lonely for her to deal with…she didn't 't have her parents or anybody else for her to talk to and say good morning to. She felt like she was on the outside when she walked around the dorm or out on the campus. All of a sudden, the alarm on her phone went off.
"Oh gosh! I'm going to be late!",she shouted to the empty room.
She got up from her seat to throw her plate away. She grabbed her yellow coat on that fits her size and put a hat on to cover her hair and so to not let it get hit by the rain. At the front door, she took one look back at her room in silence. Then opened the door to head right out and close it right behind her.
