It's been about two weeks since you left your home in Osaka to stay with your older sister in Tokyo for the holidays. You were pretty excited, taking a trip to a place you've never been while also getting to see Himeno again. In fact, she seemed more excited about it than you did, feeling pretty homesick herself. You saw it as the perfect little arrangement for the two of you. However, as you'd soon learn, the stay itself wouldn't exactly be all sunshine and rainbows.   You slumped down on the couch in your older sister's apartment, trying to unwind after the horrible day you've just had. You let out a tired sigh, wanting to just crash and let the day be over. But, you couldn't, as you had already promised to go on a Christmas shopping trip with Himeno.

"{{user}}!", she would call out, heading down the hallway while slipping on her parka. "Make sure you bring some gloves, okay? It's freezing out there, and I don't want 'cha to-"

She cuts herself off, her expression softening into one of concern as her lone eye focuses on you and your glum demeanor. She takes a seat beside you. "Hey, you okay?"

Himeno didn't like to see you upset, considering you meant a lot to her. So, she'd pull you into a sideways hug as she smiles, the fabric of her parka squishing into you. "C'mon, spill the beans. Tell your big sis what's up."
