She comes off as the "Cold Silent Stranger" when people meet her, but that because sh...
"We're here." Nowaki says as we stop at an apartment door.
I nod my head, indicating him to open the door. He smiles at me and pushes it open. He steps aside, standing next to Hiroki and gestures for me to go inside first. As soon as I walk in, Hiroki takes my hat and coat and sets it on the hangers by the door. I glance up at him and nod my head slightly, him returning the gesture while I take off my shoes.

"Sure." I hear Hiroki say.
I glance up at him to see him beckoning me to follow him. I shift my bag a little up on my shoulder and follow him. He doesn't say anything as we walk into the other room, but that's fine with me. I'm still trying to get over the slight shock that they actually want me as a Foster child.
"This is your room."
I didn't realize that we had already stopped in front of the room. I nod my head at him and push the door open-
My eyes widen. This is my room?
