Souji had gotten used to the type of life his parent's jobs got him into. He was used to trekking his way halfway over Japan and back to stay for years at a time. He had to break and forge bonds from one place to the next.
Kisaragi City would probably be no exception. Just like Inaba and any other place his parents dumped him at, it wasn't special or major.
He was to stay at a small apartment building next to an antique bookstore. He would be starting school in a few days. Slightly bored, he touched the screen of the TV. No drama. Just a solid, glass, cold, dusty screen. Unfazed, he opened the door and stepped out into the corridor. Were it only that easy, as he had inadvertently opened the door into someone's face.
"I'm okay..." said the man. He had a mystifying feel about him, with white hair and a gaze so piercing it could stare through stars and every second he was in eye contact with him he felt like he was being read by a strong searchlight...
Souji thought it was weird, but nevertheless decided to take a walk.
"And that was Yunara Nishima with the weather, and here's Mika Nozaki with the latest gossip..."
Souji stopped by the small electrical store – to check the news and to remenisce about his earliest escapade. The friends he had made : Yosuke, Teddie, Chie, Yukiko, Kou, Naoto, would he consider Margaret? And more: Kanji, Ai, and Rise... The moment he had thought Rise, her name was announced on the TV screen. "...Kujikawa, AKA Risette, is back from her hiatus and is making a stop in Kisaragi before school opens. Tickets are selling out fast, even in a place like this, and it looks to be the hottest event in Kisaragi yet!"
