A young woman, clad in black formal attire enters the "Sakurasou" hotel's building. By her get up and the the people and guards accompanying her, she seems like an important person but her gait and facial expressions say otherwise. Her hair falls loosely around her shoulders and she walks slowly and her deep brown eyes seem lost. As if she is not present in her surroundings but lost somewhere far away yet she is understanding and nodding to whatever her secretary is saying. Underneath, the formal clothing she is wearing vans that turns head as she walks by the hall to get to the reception. She checks in and moves towards the elevator. Her room is on the 15th floor and so she presses "15" and gets in with only her secretary following behind while the two guards stay behind. The woman still seems dazed, when her secretary speaks:'Miss Chrome..you have an appointment due with the Japanese prime minister tomorrow, how would you like to go about it?" She just nods and that's when her secretary snaps her fingers infront of her and she starts abruptly,"My name is Chrome Ross Underwood. I am 25 years old. That's what I should remember, shouldn't I?" "Uh, Ma'am.." The woman quickly realizes what she just spoke and tries to shove off the awkwardness. "Oh..oh yes, I'll meet him tomorrow at the embassy."
The "ting" of the elevator sounds, the secretary bows and turns back to 1st floor on the elevator again and she bows back. There stretches a long hall before her and she walks to the end of  it and enters the passcode to her room. The "click" sounds as she goes inside the room. The bed's head-end is very high as it moves up and connects to a horizontal bed-roof and then vertically comes back down. Behind the bed is a white marble protruding out of the walls in recentangular blocks. Infront of the bed are two chairs. The woman sits down, takes out her laptop and starts writing from where she left. "So, the things I need to remember are, my name, which is Chrome Ross Underwood. Or so I have been told. I am 25 years old but I have no memories from the 2 decades of my life, I only remember myself from 5 years ago when I woke up in the middle of a desert and I had to live with nothing, I had to survive on my own for 2 years. Until helicopter help came one day, took me from the desert and to a large company firm where I was declared heiress to that firm," Eunyer" It was strange, like those people knew I had been stranded in the desert, those people were monitoring me the two years I had been there, and this company had the answers to all my questions which nobody answered
I had been told only my name, age and that I had no parents or relatives alive. The reason I agreed to take over Eunyer was because I wanted a refuge but gradually, I have started to put the pieces together, and my purpose to stay here is to dig out answers and once I have got them; things arent going to be so peaceful but for now my name is Chrome Ross Underwood and I am 25 years old." The woman shut the lid of her laptop, turned off the lamp and closed her eyes.
