Takeru's POV:

"My Dear Child,

Thank you for considering my offer to study in Kanagawa City. I know that you will feel uneasy with this since you never left our town for so long but I'm pretty sure that this offer will pay off for you.

Takeru, you will study at Hoshizora Academy, where I finished my studies myself. When you start studying there, please persevere for higher grades like you used to back at home. You should try making new friends with your classmates.

If you have time, take a tour around the city. I'm sure there a lots of stuff you could choose from. Don't worry, the people in Kanagawa are very kind so you won't get lost.

You know, I just wanted you to study in Kanagawa City so your sister Akira will some company when she comes home from work. But I hope that you will enjoy your stay in Kanagawa. Who knows, you might have more friends than before? Write me back if you have something that you could share with me, okay?

Your beloved mother,
Michiko"

Autumn is starting...

Leaves are turning red and begins to fall...

The breeze begins to cool my senses

And farmers begins to get their corn and rice crops...

And for me, it's a beginning for an uncertain life in the city...

"I miss mom in this time of the year. I wonder when she will come back to take a vacation?"

"I can't tell, Takeru." My older sister Akira replies as I glance the farmlands that we passed from the train's window. "She's been busy lately in her work in America. That's why she only sends a letter to you."

"Attention passengers, we are now approaching the Kanagawa station." The train conductor announces from the PA system.

"Let's go, Takeru."

As the train slows down, we pick up all of our baggage and approach the door. We have arrived in Kanagawa City.

We then walked through the busy train station of Kanagawa, a buzzing hub of commerce and trade. Every now and then, surges of people gets drop off and hitch a train ride that connects this huge city to a large network of provinces, making the station a bit messy. It's very different from the town when I grow up: a simple and peaceful town surrounded by luscious green forests, grasslands and mountains.

"Onee-chan, what's your job here in the city again?" Being forgetful, I asked Akira as we wait to hitch a bus that lead us towards our apartment home.

"IT Specialist, my dear Takeru. Perhaps, you are worry about how far my workplace from our home, don't you? Don't worry, it's just half a hour away. I will just make a phonecall so you will know that I will be home soon."

As Akira and I waited for a bus to take us to our new home, I saw a beautiful lady, who just arrived at the opposite end of the station by bicycle. She's tall, her hair stretches down to her waist and had her left side tied with a simple pink band. She wears a white uniform, pink cardigan sweater that is tied around her waist, black skirt and socks and pink sneakers. I don't know why but...I can't take my eyes off her.
