(Open) A new day?

The girls dorm isn't too far from where we are. I can escort you there if you would like?

And like that, Hawke and I are gone from sight.

Nothing more than distant chatter can be heard but not made out.

She nod slightly then gets up. she takes at her missing right arm then back to the boy she stands still waiting to follow.

{That... Was strangely easy.} Follow me then, ma'am. (Chris makes his way towards the girls dorm with the hooded girl in tow.) So, how are you liking Yamaku thus far?

She whsipers
"I-I'm new here, Just transferred."
She holds her books tightly

I see. I'm technically a foreigner myself. This school is a lot quieter than some of the schools I attended in the past. (Chris decides to comment on the hooded girl's bundle of books.) Are you an avid reader, ma'am?

*She shakes her head
"N-No. They are some books that are important to me."

{Those books may be remnants of a traumatic life experience. Better not to pressure her into telling me about them.} I didn't catch your name earlier, you don't have to tell me if you do not want to though.

"Nakagawa.... Sumiko Nakagawa."

Pleased to make your acquaintance, Sumiko. (The two arrive at Yamaku's student dormitories, and Chris holds open a door for Sumiko to enter first.)

She slowly walks in still scared, she fixes her hood covering her face even more then before.
"T-thank you..."

(Chris smiles warmly.) Don't mention it, Sumiko. (The two press on to the girls dorm, passing by a few girls gawking at the sight of a boy helping out a timid girl.) Please ignore them, Sumiko. Now, do you have your dorm room number with you?

"Y-yes." She had the room number in one of her front pockets but she was unsure plus she could not check anyway with only one arm it would be difficult without letting go of her book.
"C-could you h-hold these?" she holds the books out at first hesitating and she had no choice.

(Chris promptly accepts the books from Sumiko.) {Why can't she use her other arm?}

She quickly scuffles around checking each pocket for the room number. A couple of moment later she finds it and the key as well.
"Room 214..."

(Chris looks at the numbers above each door. He sees that Room 204 is is only four rooms down and on the left side of the hallway. He helps Sumiko over to her room.) There you go, ma'am. Is there anything else you need?

She opens the door before answering
"M-My books..."

Oh... my apologies. (Chris hands Sumiko her books without any further delay.) Now, do you have everything you need?

She nods, slowly taking back the books
"Y-yes... Thank you... I-I did not get your name."

I'm senior Christopher Cook, ma'am. If you ever need someone to talk to, I can usually be found on the school roof during lunch periods. (Chris is finally able to get a good view of Sumiko's eyes. Suffice it to say, they are quite alluring.) Take care, Sumiko. (Chris departs, nearly tripping on the stairs leading up to the boys dorms in the process.)

"Goodbye..." Sumiko heads inside of her room closing the door. She pulls off her hood reveling he short red hair and the scar that runs across her face. Sumikko takes a seat on the bed placing the books beside her
"Cook-senpai..."
She lays down and rests, thinking. It was her first day and she may have already made a friend without realizing it.
