The dirt road is peaceful that evening, the cicadas crying loudly as was typical of Hinamizawa at this hour. On the path back from the Irie Clinic, the blonde woman spots the other figure. She smiles, tilting her head just slightly.

"..Oh my. Hello there. Are you new?" Her hands fold in front of her as she bows politely. "..Hehe. It is a pleasure to meet you. I'm Takano. Nice to meet you. Let me know if you get a cold. I'll get an extra large shot for you." Those brown eyes of hers sparkle with mirth, a pleasant-sounding giggle leaving her lips.
