A year later...

Hange's POV:

I was on a plane, going to the Philippines. I got a job offer a few months ago, I couldn't say no. This was my chance to pursue my dreams.

After about 4 hours of being on the plane, I finally arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. I walked through the airport until I finally found the exit. I rode on a taxi, we drove towards the condo that my company provided for their employees.

I walked into the building and made my way to the front desk. "Hello po, welcome to Drossle residence. I'm guessing you're a new employee for the Paradis Science Laboratory?" The lady at the front says.

"Oh yes. I'd like to know where my room is."

"Please just show me the room number the company gave you and I'll take you there." She says with a smile. I took out the room number they gave me through the phone. The lady looks at it and smiles. "Ah you must be the girl from Japan? Miss Zoe I assume?"

"Yes." I says with a smile.

"Okay, please follow me Ms. Zoe."

The lady at the front was very sweet and humble. We walked into the elevator. She showed me my room, it was on the third floor. She gave me the keys to my condo.

"Thank you very much." I smiled to the sweet lady.

"You're welcome po." She smiles before she leaves.

While I was inserting the key into the door, a girl around my age came out of the door beside me. I'm guessing she'll be my neighbor.

"Ah hello!" She greeted.

"Hello!"

"Hm.. I haven't seen you around here before.. Ah! You must be the scientist from Japan?"

"Yes, I am." I say, smiling at her.

"I'm Sheena, Sheena De Leon." She says, extending her hand to sake mine.

"I'm Hange Zoe." I extended my hand to shake hers.

"Well, I'll see you around." She says

"See ya" I say, waving her goodbye.

I twisted the key into the door and walked into my condo. It was pretty spacious. And the view on the balcony and windows were mesmerizing.

The condo had some furniture already. It had one bedroom, one bathroom and one kitchen. It didn't have a lot but it was bit enough for me.

Tomorrow would be my first day at the company. While I'm still free today, I guess I'll spend some time touring around Manila.

I decided to go to the National Museum of Fine Arts to look at different art pieces there. After walking around the Museum, I decided to go to a restaurant to eat. I decided to go to Jollibee, a very famous fast food restaurant here in the Philippines.

I guess this is it. I'll finally get a chance to pursue my dreams. This is the start of my new beginnings.
