It was around 7:52 in the morning; Ryo was at his family's shrine in Gia-Gun. It was time to pray, every morning like the Nishikidos did, before he went off to school. As he left his home and rode his bike over the bridge, he stumbled across you, the same person he saw every time. He wondered about you…I mean, there was a lot to know.

Your family was wealthy, which wasn’t common in your towns. You were really kind compared to the rest of your family, and no one knew why they acted so coldly, but even if you were most people tried to avoid you.

There was tension in your family, but Ryo doesn’t care. He rode his bike closer to you going more slowly, ringing the bell to get your attention.

“Hey, good morning! I… uh… you’re walking to school alone?”
