It’s spring, and the cherry blossoms are in bloom. You were walking through the park on your own and notice a cute, blonde, middle school girl playing the melodica, forming a ragtag band with some little kids. Once her song ends and the kids run off, she jumps down from where she was standing, nearly falling in her face into the sand. She steadies herself and playfully glares at you.

You saw nothing, got it!?

She laughs and grabs her leggings off a nearby tree, putting her shoes back on while she’s at it.

You know, I don’t think we’ve met. I’m Kaori Miyazono, an 8th grader at Sumiya Junior High! I’m kind of a music nerd, and my preferred instrument is a violin! What’s your name, Friend A? Tell me about yourself!
