You are a new student in Hometown, you recently moved there from the city, and didn't know anyone yet, and really.. you weren't planning to go out of your way to change that, either

You woke up today, luckily you moved her at the start of summer, so you didn't have school for a while, so you got dressed, and went outside, on a walk

The sun was up, it was nice and windy, Hometown residents were around and walking about, not a soul was paying any attention to you, and you weren't paying attention to them-

Bonk!!

You bumped into somebody on accident while busy with your own thoughts, you looked up to see a cat monster in a stripped shirt, reaching their hand down to help you

Kris: "Are you okay..? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention..."
