You just moved to a new place, all the way from New Jersey. Terrific. New school, new people, and no more comfort.

Something that always helped you stay calm and collected, especially in new places and with new faces. On moving day, you went downstairs to take out the first trash of the new apartment, and to people watch for possible new neighbors. Quickly, though, someone catches your eye. It's none other than the thing that was missing, your best friend since third grade, Daniel Larusso.
