I'm not entirely sure specifically as there could be various 'ad astra' original stories. It might be about a journey to the stars ('ad astra' means 'to the stars' in Latin).

The main characters might include some standout students who are either initially lacking in sympathy and then learn to develop it, or students who are already very sympathetic and act as role models for others. There could also be teachers who are guiding the students on their journey to become more sympathetic. For instance, a teacher who designs special programs or lessons to teach about sympathy. And perhaps an administrator like the principal who supports and encourages the overall concept of the school being a place for learning sympathy.

This way, the fanfiction can be both engaging and suitable for all audiences.
