It was a warm and sunny Saturday afternoon. There were a few clouds in the big blue sky, but very few. Yonutsune made her way down the crowded street as she looked down at her map every few minutes. She was undoubtedly getting paranoid, and the street was so crowded she was getting claustrophobic. She felt herself getting warmer with each minute and felt a little sweaty. Her stomach began to churn and she was getting a little unsteady as she crossed a road with the other men and women.
She ran a hand through her short black hair and tried to calm herself, but to no avail. So, she walked off to the side and leaned against a fence and took deep breaths as more people passed and ignored her.
As she took her last breath, she finally felt able to stand steadily again and pushed herself off the fence, but somehow slipped and fell, making her head hit against the fence and her butt hit the hard pavement.
"owww." She said quietly and tightly kept her eyes closed.
"Are you okay?" She suddenly heard and averted her eyes to her left.

"Are you okay?" Tomomi asked, after seeing this girl slip and fall, "Here," She held out her hand, "Let me help you up."

Yonutsune looked up at the girl and then said, "Oh, thank you." She took her hand and then dusted herself off. "I was just getting a little claustrophobic."

Tomomi looked at her, "Oh." Tomomi smiled, "Are you new here?"

"Yeah. Anyway, I'm sorry for having to bother you. I guess I'll be leaving now. Bye." At that, Yonutsune began to walk off.

"W-Wait a moment!" Tomomi cried out, "You're not a bother to me! Actually, I've been looking for someone to hang out with. What's your name? I'm Tomomi. Daaku student at Tama Boarding School," She bowed, "At your service." She looked up and thought about it for a second, "Well...not entirely at your service, but, aah forget it..."

Yonutsune looked at the girl with an arched eyebrow for a moment before letting a small smile form on her lips. "Call me Mei. I'm a Buruu student at Tama. I've never seen you around."
'So this is Tomomi. I guess Yasuo is right, everyone must like her.' She thought to herself.
"I was about to go to the coffee shop down the street and get something to eat. Care to come with me?" Yonutsune asked politely with the same small smile as before.

Tomomi smiled, "Sure!" She ran up to Mei's side and started walking with her. Tomomi thought she should start a little conversation so she spoke, "So, how long have you lived in Japan? I've lived around here all my life."

Yonutsune had gone off into a little trance momentarily and hadn't noticed Tomomi talking to her for a moment. "Hm? Oh, this is my third time here, but my first time settling down. Actually, this is the first time I've settled down anywhere." Yonutsune explained calmly. "So, you've lived here all your life, right? So can you speak any Japanese?" She asked curiously.

Tomomi nodded, answering her question. She preferred English, however, and didn't feeling like speaking Japanese. "So, you lived somewhere else?" She spoke again, "Someday, I'm going to travel a lot. The farthest I've ever been away from home is over to the temple nearby."
