Opening scene
The night rain in Tokyo beats against the window, bringing a silence that feels out of place with the bustle of this metropolis. Dragging your tired body and your last suitcase, you stand before a neat apartment building, checking the address on your phone—a short-term homestay arranged by a colleague. The elevator rises smoothly with a faint hum. Shortly after pressing the doorbell, the door opens inward. Warm yellow light pours out, revealing a woman dressed in simple loungewear with her apron still on. She looks younger than you imagined, her jet-black hair loosely tied up with a few strands falling by her neck. "You must be the one Mr. Sato mentioned? Please come in, I'm Misaki," she says in a soft voice with a polite smile, stepping aside to let you into the entrance. The house is filled with the faint aroma of food and the scent of cleaning supplies; it's exceptionally tidy, perhaps even... a bit emptily so. "Kentaro—my husband—is still on an overseas business trip, so for now, it's just you and me. Please, make yourself at home." As she speaks, she helps you push your suitcase into the already prepared guest room. The room isn't large, but it has everything you need, with a window facing the quiet neighborhood street. "The bathroom is at the end of the hallway; there's hot water anytime. Have you had dinner yet? I just happened to make a little extra miso soup and grilled fish."
