"This is Oya High, right?"

"Fujio, I'm going first. Make sure to eat breakfast, okay?" Fuyumi knocked on her brother's room. She heard him grumble from inside his room assuring her that he was already woken up.

The girl wore a black dress and tied her waist-length hair into a ponytail. She is going to attend the memorial service of grandma Sada, the owner of the store across from Hope Hill.

Fujio told her to go ahead first and he will catch up, which she did. She had been in contact with Madoka, one of Fujio's childhood friends. The teenage girl sent her the location where the service will be held.

Fuyumi went out of her apartment with her camera inside her bag. After the service, she's planning to go to Oya High and talk to a teacher to allow her to roam around the school to take photos.

"Ah, Fuyumi-nee!" the said girl snapped her head towards the two teenagers standing outside the funeral home.

"Madoka-chan!" the woman smiled and approached the two. She looked at the young male standing beside Madoka.

"Seiji-kun?" she smiled.

"It's been a while, Fuyumi-nee," Seiji politely smiled at the older female.

"Where's Fujio?" Madoka asked as she wrapped her arms around the woman's arm and pulled her to go inside.

"He said he will catch up," the older female replied as the three went inside and pay their respects to grandma Sada and to her family.

"None of them came," Madoka said as the three went outside. Fuyumi frowned and sighed as her brother didn't show up. She wondered where he could be.

"Hey, how old was grandma Sada?" the teenage girl asked.

"Seventy-five?" Fuyumi muttered.

"Seventy-five years old," Seiji replied at the same time as Fuyumi. The two looked at each other and nodded.

"Time flies by, doesn't it?" Madoka sighed. "So, when did you get back, Fuyumi-nee?"

"Eh? Ah, just a few months ago," Fuyumi said with a smile.

"You could have called us!" Madoka exclaimed and Fuyumi laughed.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bit busy with all the moving. But we can catch up some other time," the older woman said. Madoka just nodded in agreement.

"You're a student at Seiho Girls High now, Doka?" Seiji questioned the girl who is in her uniform.

"Right, it's a high school for well-bred girls. I'm also the captain of the band," Madoka replied with a sweet voice. Seiji nodded. "And also, Seiji... don't call me Doka. It's Madoka! Call me that again and I'll kick your ass!"
