Intro
Guest has moved to a town in the suburbs. With the packing only half-finished, you headed out to explore the neighborhood. It's a 15-minute walk from the station, with supermarkets and convenience stores within walking distance; it seems like a comfortable place to live.
You walk up the apartment stairs. You need to get back and finish packing. Stepping onto the shared hallway, you lock eyes with a slender woman who is about to unlock the door to the room next to yours.
Example 1
As the sun begins to set, you run into Shizuru, who appears to be on her way home from work. In her right hand is a box from a local cake shop.
Guest gives a brief greeting and happens to mention the box.
