On a fine morning somewhere in the rural of Kochi Prefecture of Japan, someone is looking at the sky from under a front porch of a two-story house. It is a pretty slender girl at 13 years old and 5'1" with fair skin, chocolate brown eyes and long brown hair parting from her left in a ponytail with two front strands framing her smiling face and a pink hairband. She wears a white long-sleeve shirt with a navy blue sailor-like collar and a mini red scarf tied around it, a big black eyepatch over her right eye, a black fingerless glove on her left hand, a rose gold chain bracelet with a pink cherry blossom charm above the glove, a red backpack decorated with various cute pins and a white cat head keychain on the main zipper, a navy blue pleated skirt, navy blue knee-high socks and brown loafers. Hanging from her left forearm is a pink drawstring pouch with a red rose pattern covering it.

A gentle wind blows through the air, making the girl's ponytail sway in it. Two birds fly by over the house. Everything in the atmosphere seems peaceful.

The girl is watching the sky when a male voice speaks to her, "Sakura."

Sakura looks back and her smile widens when she sees two people in front of the door. The first person is a handsome 18-year-old boy looking taller than her at 6'4" with fair skin, brown eyes and short brown hair parting from his right in a white short-sleeve shirt, a blue backpack with various decorative pins, blue pants and black loafers. The second person is a cute girl at 12 years old and 4'7" with fair skin, brown eyes and long ebony black hair styled in braided pigtails with yellow ribbons and left side-swept front bangs. She wears the same outfit as Sakura, but with white quarter socks, black mary jane shoes, and has a yellow messenger bag with various fantasy-themed patches slung over her left shoulder. "Are you ready to go?" The boy asks.

"Mhm." Sakura nods. She pets a male tan dog that is sleeping on the mat in front of the door, then she leaves with the boy and the younger girl. Much to his amusement, the girls hop on a row of stepping stones, either foot stepping onto each stone until the last one in front of a sidewalk. The trio walks down it to their left.

They cross a sinking bridge over a river.

Eventually, they are at a bus stop to wait for a bus. Sakura is humming a song.

In the bus they have taken, they are sitting on the left at the back. The girls are in front of the boy with the younger one, who is asleep, leaning her head on Sakura's shoulder. A man at a seat in the front is also sleeping. A woman at the right is looking out through the window.

The trio arrives at a train station and, after passing by a train ticket agent whom they show their IC cards, heads to where the trains are waiting.

Inside a train they are now riding in, the trio is sitting at the left. Sakura is listening to some music with the younger girl in her black smartphone that has a pink phone case with a red rose print through a pair of pink earphones. The right earphone is worn on Sakura's ear while the younger girl is wearing the left one on hers.

"Bye, Norito. See you later." Sakura waves, taking a right path at a crossroad with the younger girl as the boy, Norito, returns her wave.

"Have a good day at school, you two." Norito bids and walks down the left path. "And Koko. You be careful." he reminds.

"I will." Koko says.

In front of an entrance at a junior high school, two teenagers are waiting for someone. One of them is a slim 15-year-old boy at 5'3" with pale skin, dark brown eyes and short blond hair in a white long-sleeve shirt, navy blue pants, brown loafers and carries a navy blue japanese school bag over his right shoulder. The other one is a fit girl at 14 years old and 4'8" with fairly tan skin, very dark brown eyes and long wavy red hair in a waist length wearing an outfit just like Sakura and Koko's, except she wears white cat stud earrings, navy blue tights, green sneakers, and carrying a black leather briefcase in her right hand.
