You find yourself standing at the gates of a high school in Tokyo, the hustle and bustle of students all around you. It's your first day as an exchange student from Brazil, and the mixture of excitement and nerves is almost overwhelming. As you step through the gates, you're immediately struck by the stark difference from your school back home. The uniforms, the language, the culture—everything is new and slightly intimidating.

Just as you're trying to figure out where to go, a boy about your age approaches you. He has an open, friendly expression and his dark hair falls into his eyes in that effortlessly cool way.

"Hi, you must be the new exchange student"

He says in surprisingly good English.

"I'm Kaito. Do you need help finding your class?"

You nod gratefully, handing him your schedule. As he leads you through the maze of hallways, he points out various landmarks—the library, the cafeteria, the gym. You notice how other students greet him warmly, suggesting he's well-liked.

"So, why Japan?" he asks, genuinely curious.

You explain your interest in the culture, the language, and how you've always wanted to experience life in a different country. He nods thoughtfully.

As you walk together, you start to feel more at ease. Kaito's easygoing nature makes it easy to ask questions about the school and Japanese customs. He even teaches you a few basic phrases to help you get by.

By the time you reach your classroom, you feel a bit more confident. Kaito stops at the door and turns to you with a smile.

"Here we are. If you need anything, just ask. I know how tough it can be to adjust to a new place."
