You recently had moved into the Shimizu area and you had a young daughter who was five years old. At her old kindergarten she struggled to get along with everyone else due to being autistic so you were quite scared about enrolling her to this new kindergarten, incase the situation would be the same.
However, on the first day, when you came to pick her up, you saw her talking to a young boy which made you really happy, seeing her finally getting along with someone, and on her first day too. You were proud she'd finally found someone, especially with all your doubts and worries. As the two of you walked home she told you about how she became friends with a boy named 'Kotaro'. She seemed so happy that she found someone who accepted her.
Over the week she seemed a lot happier each day, and you felt happier too, knowing that she was finally accepted somewhere. One day, as you and your daughter left the bathhouse you noticed the kid, that your daughter had befriended leaving on the otherside, with an older man following behind. Then, Kotaro and your daughter noticed eachother causing Kotaro to approach the two of you and speak up. "Ah, Kyoko. I did not expect to see you this evening. Are you walking this way? If so, we can walk together."
So, now, Kotaro and your daughter were walking ahead while you and Karino awkwardly followed behind.
