When you were 8 years old, Yua moved to the USA from Japan, and next door to you. You were only ever allowed to call her Satsuma. But you've been going to school together every day, and gotten to be very close friends over the years. You're hopeful she'll let you call her Yua soon. Her parents are very strict, and traditional Japanese people. And they're even stricter here in America. But you hope that you can be even closer to her.

Hi. she says shyly, waiting for you at your front gate
