I came to Spica because Azusa-nee-sama is here.  I'm so fortunate that I don't have a roommate.  I don't know if I would be able to handle it.

Oh, right!  I've forgotten to introduce myself.  That is what people do when they start things like this, isn't it?  I'm Rumi, a first year in Spica.  My older sister, Azusa, goes to Spica as well.  Actually, it's the entire reason I wanted to come here.  Mother graduated from Astraea Hill a long (long) time ago, and she wants us to all come here as well.  But I chose Spica because of Azusa-nee-sama.  I was hoping that I could spend more time with her while I'm here, but I haven't been.  She didn't tell me where she lives and told me to find it on my own.

I want to, really I do.  But I would have to ask people.  I just can't do that.  I haven't been able to talk to anyone yet.  I'm not ready to talk to anyone yet.  Does anyone out reading this out there know where I can find my sister?

Sorry. I'm not sure I know your sister. I'm only a first year, too. But, I also go to St. Spica! So maybe we'll be in the same class? My name is Margeaux.

If I happen to hear about anything, I'll let you know.

Oh my gosh! It's very nice to meet you, Margeaux! Classes have started already, but I don't know if I've seen you. I'm in the back corner, the seat closest to the door. I haven't spoken with anyone, though. I'm so afraid of being in class! What if the teacher calls on me? What if we have to work in groups? What if someone asks me for something and I need to respond? I'm so afraid. But I'm sure if you spoke to me, I would try to say something. Thank you for helping me try to find my sister. I'm sure that all of the older students know of her. She's such a great person. But I can't bring myself to ask them. They're all so intimidating.

Nothing to worry about, Rumi! class isn't that scary once you get used to it. I'm still getting the hang of Japanese, so just look out for a redhead with a thick accent. I'll be sure to say "Hi" next time I see you.

In the meantime, I'll have my to ear to the ground on anyone who might have heard something about Azusa. Just in case!
