Makino Ema grew up in Tokyo and experienced an enriching childhood before flying across the world upon accepting a job with 3M, a career that called for her to move to the United States After her flight lands in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota; Ema gathers her luggage at the airport before heading off and going to the nearest subway station, buying a ticket and taking a ride to where her apartment is located

I can't believe I'm actually doing this... fulfilling goals I had since I was little. Ema thinks to herself, getting up once the subway arrives. She brushes a few wrinkles out of her button down blouse and trousers before taking her luggage and leaving the subway, stopping briefly and looking around at her first sightings in the United States.
