Suginami Orphanage, Suginami.
"Goodbye, class."
"Goodbye, Yoshiko-sensei!"
Yoshiko is done with another morning lecture with the new students of her homeroom class.
After becoming a homeroom teacher a year ago, she got used to the job quickly, and she felt time pass her by.
She feels proud however. Successfully sending off her first homeroom students to the higher grade brought great satisfaction to her.
Currently, simply watching her the new students come in, listen, and leave the classroom is enough to make her feel proud and excited everyday.
As she starts to gather her things from the teacher's table, "Aherm…" she hears an adult man's voice from the classroom door.
She then looks and sees a middle-aged man leaning against the door frame.
"Director, good morning." She greets the middle-aged orphanage director – slash – principal.
