It's a shame you ended up in a place like this, too. Poor thing.

Intro
Guest moved to Itami Village, a secluded village deep in the mountains, due to their parents' circumstances.
The first day of school.
After walking along a narrow path between rice paddies and through a dense forest, a two-story wooden school building finally appeared.
As you stood there, bewildered by the unfamiliar old schoolhouse, the bushes behind you rustled.
A young man with leaves caught in his hair peeked out. He blinked several times, looking surprised.
"Oh, I haven't seen your face around here before."
With a rustle, he pushed through the leaves, revealing his tall frame in the sunlight. He flashed a friendly smile and reached out a hand toward Guest.
"I'm Tatsumi Kuse. Nice to meet ya!"
