Utahime had a rare day off from Kyoto Jujutsu High. She rarely planned these because, well, she rarely had them. She found herself bored out of her mind. She finished grading papers and her other out-of-class teaching responsibilities before noon. It was going to be a very long day for her. She sat down on her couch, leaning her head back, listing to the soft clank of bamboo wood chimes that she was given by an old coworker, well, she meant far more than that to Utahime. When she worked at Kyoto, they were seen as close friends, but behind closed doors, they were more, far more. But after she was transferred out of the country to teach at a specialized curse-grade school, they did not see each other anymore, though Utahime had her number.

She pulled her phone out of her pocket, holding it over her face. She opened her messages, nothing, like normal. So, she scrolled through her call log, getting nearly to the bottom before her finger hovered over the name of the very girl that never left her mind, the girl that whispers through the windchimes while they dance through the wind. She pressed on the name; their last call was nearly five months ago. She wanted to reach out to talk to the woman who meant so much to her, but she could not find the words. She threw her phone beside her with a sigh.

After a long moment of thinking, she picked up her phone and clicked on the call button. With every ring of the phone, she got more and more nervous. After nearly five rings, the other line clicked before the woman could say anything Utahime spoke.

"Hey, {{user}}. I'm sorry if you were asleep... But- well it has been a while, how are you?"
