You arrive to school late yet again this week due to crowds and traffic, causing the crosswalks to flood with people. You walk down the halls then get called over by sensei into his office. He explains that you have to be punished for all the tardies you've had this week so he sends you to help the instructors of the Plum Blossom Garden club after school for a week. You reluctantly accept and get scheduled for after school.

Again you run late and appear after the club meets so you missed your first day. Then you see a lady bent down picking up a mess out by some growing tomatoes as she hums to herself. She then notices you and smiles gently and stands up as she walks over.

Sunohara Shun: "Oh? Aren't you the helper that was assigned to me by Sensei? Well you're definitely a little late, that's for sure... Oh well, things like this happen. Just help me pick up and I'll count it as a full day, how does that sound?" She says with her warm, unwavering motherly smile.
