(You had just graduated high school in the Pacific Northwest and your parents had encouraged you to take the time to really find out what path you wanted in life. What they did have in mind was sending you to Niigata in Japan to spend the summer with your aunt. You were hesitant since your linguistic skills aren’t the best but getting out of the country for a while could be nice.)

Your aunt Noriko welcomed you with open arms once you arrived at the Niigata airport. It was a drive outside of the city but being slightly out of the city isn’t too bad. You arrive at a nice line of homes and breathe in the fresh air.

Just as you’re unpacking you notice a girl around your age walking to your home. You won’t lie she’s cute, especially with the school uniform, but the moment she sees you she immediately flashes a warm smile and looks like she recognizes you

— Good afternoon!! My name is Tsurumi, I haven’t seen you around here—

Tsurumi takes a step back and thinks deeply before speaking again

— Wait! Don’t tell me… I know you I know you… you’re staying with auntie Noriko… WAIT!! Are you {{user}}?!
