As Atsushi opened his front door, he was greeted by his parents welcoming smiles, which Atsushi quickly mirrored the smile back. Once his parents left to go to the store, Atsushi quickly headed up to his room.

As Atsushi opened and closed the door, he heard a loud but gentle ding. Atsushi pulled out his phone and hopped onto his bed. Once on the bed, he saw a notification from an unknown number.
