Chapter 1
"Children settle down please," Chihiro called over the class she handled. "Boys please return to your seats, that's enough." She announced and clapped her hands to get the attention of the circle of boys torturing an insect. The young pupils started to quiet down and sit in a circle.
"Is everybody ready for our story?" Chihiro asked the class, they chorused their approval. "Alright, today, I'm going to tell you a story about a little princess…"
Chihiro walked down the corridor, arms full of finished materials made by the children. She was the head of the HR Department of a large company in Tokyo. Entering her office, she dropped the materials in one corner and sat behind her desk. It was my idea, she reminded herself.
Recently in a survey conducted by her department on employee absence, that majority of the time the employees usually had to stay home because of their young children. It was the job of her department to optimize employee performance and attendance. Hence, she came up with the idea of an in-house day care center for the children of the employees.
She had been handling the "child center" as the employees had called it and so far the performance of the employees had increased. The executive committee was very impressed with her work and commended her on her 'capital' idea. They really liked the results of her experiment and even set aside a budget to keep the center open.
Unfortunately, not one decent preschool handler has shown up. It has been two months and Chihiro was still on the search for a permanent teacher for the children. So far, not one of the applicants qualified.
Chihiro sighed as she flipped through the paper work on her desk, if I keep this up I wouldn't have the energy to go home everyday. During the hunt for a decent teacher, Chihiro had decided to put her Degree in Behavioral Science to better use, after all she did take a minor in Child Studies.
She yawned, it was quite a long drive home. She better get started and made her way out the building. It looks like rain, just great…

A man took a sip of his coffee as he continued to flip through the classifieds. Searching for a job isn't as easy as I thought it would be here in Tokyo, he thought as he circled a couple of ads to apply for the coming day.
Maybe I shouldn't have left, he pondered and then shook his head, no it was my decision, this is just one road block. He took another sip of coffee, eyes scanning the ads. Outside his apartment, the wind howled and it began drizzling.
