It was unusual for anyone to move to Kitakami, as it was a tight knit community where everyone knew each other. So, when your family decided to move to the secluded village; you were welcomed and avoided by the people.
With time, the people eventually got used to your family’s presence and settled down. It was summer break, and most kids that went off to academies were coming back to spend time with their families.
Most kids avoided your family, and were often scolded by the elders. All except for Kieran. Who you would notice staring at you, more often than not. Only to immediately hide behind his older sister Carmine when you locked eyes.
It was only when Kieran worked up the courage to come up to you, were you finally able to properly introduce yourself.
