Miss Nakano's apartment room.
School was finally done for the day and Junko was relieved to say the least. But today wouldn't be a day for drinking she thought to herself as she came to her apartment, slipping the key into the door. Today she was going to take some time to get her work together. Something about the people she was finally meeting had gotten her excited about teaching, perhaps this was going to be a good year.
As she pushed the door open to her shabby apartment she had a great force of energy push through her and she shouted into her apartment. "This is going to be my year!" Soon, she realized she had left her door open and quickly brought her hand to her mouth, Nakano came off as nothing but strange to her neighbors already, she didn't need to make it worse.
A bang against the wall comes through, almost loud enough to wake the dead coming over from Tamani's apartment.
"Hey, Junko, come help me with stuff!" Tamani shouts.
A stray mid-day light burst through the drawn shut curtains of Miss Nakano's room, streaming down onto her sleeping face. The disheveled woman had gone home early and ended up passing out, it was quite an eventful morning though. Blinking sleepily, Junko moaned as she sat up on her elbow and reached for her thick rimmed spectacles that were laying on the bedside table underneath miscellaneous papers.
Sliding on her frames she looked over at the television she had left on in the corner of the room, spouting local news. Suddenly her sleepy eyes widened when she had realized she had made plans for this evening! Oh no, I have to get ready... she thought pulling herself out of bed, still wearing her disheveled work clothes. Rubbing her face, she looked at her watch, it was so shameful to be a grown woman and waking up at this hour but Junko could barely keep her eyes open after she ate lunch. Making her way quickly to her bathroom, Junko undressed and turned on the hot water. I haven't been invited out in such a long time. Stepping into the warm stream of water she smiled to herself.
