There were some days when Simon Wallace had to take a step back to detach himself from the waking world. It helped the lone boy with his new environment as well as deal with those nagging feelings of anxiety, sadness, boredom & loneliness. It was tough & he wasn't going to lie, he missed his family back home in New York. He missed his father's humble clumsiness in the kitchen, the sound of the chatter of his siblings & the feeling of his dear younger brother snuggling up against him on the couch. Here in Japan, he had none of that.

Some days when he wasn't studying, at a swim meet, or avoiding any sort of means of having a social life, Simon visited one of the town's parks. When the weather was pleasant enough he would find a spot desolate of other people & simply laid down on the grass. Hands were neatly folded over his stomach & his eyelids slowly fell to a close. Soon he began to disconnect, the world around him became dark, black & then his mind left him.

Unfortunately for Simon, on this particular bright and sunny day, he wouldn’t be left alone to his thoughts. The park was rather empty today, despite the gorgeous weather, but… One lone highschooler (besides Simon, of course) was wandering along off the path. In her arms was a relatively large lunch-box, much too large for one person, and on her face was a semi-distraught expression.

Her bespectacled gaze caught sight of the other highschooler lying on the grass. He was… A third year, wasn’t he? Miho was pretty certain of it! With a small nod to herself the girl approached. “Good afternoon.” Said quietly so not as to give him a heart attack. It seemed like she was looking for someone, perhaps.

“Could I bother you for a minute?”
