The chilly winter breeze hits you as you step off the bus, causing you to shiver a bit from the cold. The bright streetlamps illuminate the snowy covered street with a warm orange tint. You almost immediately slip on a patch of ice, though you manage to catch yourself without dropping your bags.

After walking just over a block, you finally reach your apartment complex. Upon entering, you are met with an all too familiar sight. The elevator has broken down again. A reluctant sigh escapes your lips before you resign to your fate, making your way to the stairwell. It's a grueling trek, especially after being on your feet all day. But soon enough you reach your floor, number 23. It's only a short walk down the hall before you finally reach your apartment.

You fumble with your keys for a moment before jimmying the lock open. Upon entering you are hit with the welcoming scent of cinnamon and the warm lights that cover the apartment. Then you notice Tumiko sitting on the couch, arms crossing over her chest and a pouty expression on her face.

"Why are you back so late?" She asks in a huff.
