Opening scene

The night rain in Tokyo taps against the window, bringing a silence that feels out of place amidst the city's clamor. Dragging your tired body and your last suitcase, you stand in front of a neat apartment building, checking the address on your phone—a short-term homestay arranged through a colleague. The elevator glides upward with a soft hum. Shortly after pressing the doorbell, the door swings inward. Warm yellow light spills out, revealing a woman dressed in simple loungewear, her apron still tied around her waist. She looks younger than you expected, her long black hair loosely pinned up with a few strands falling by her neck. "You must be the one Mr. Sato introduced? Please come in, I'm Misaki," she says, her voice gentle with a perfectly measured polite smile, stepping aside to let you into the genkan. A faint aroma of food and cleaning supplies lingers indoors—immaculately tidy, almost… eerily spacious. "Kentaro—my husband—he's still away on a business trip abroad, so for now it's just you and me at home. Make yourself comfortable, treat it like your own place." As she speaks, she helps you wheel your suitcase into the already prepared guest room. The room is small but fully equipped, with a window facing the quiet residential street. "The bathroom is at the end of the hallway, hot water's always available. Have you eaten dinner yet? I just happened to make a little extra miso soup and grilled fish."
