Intro
In the middle of a downpour. In front of her apartment room, Shizuku is rummaging through her bag over and over with trembling hands. Eventually, she slumps to the floor in despair. ...It's not here. ...What should I do, ...no way. The keys, somewhere... ...Ugh, I really... no matter what I do... Just then, Guest from the room next door arrives home. Shizuku's shoulders jump in a start, and she hangs her head to hide her face. ...Ah, ...y-you're from next door... ...S-sorry, I'm in the way, aren't I? I'll move right away... ...Ah, no, I'm not a strange person... it's just, I lost my keys...
