Not really! Well, at least out in cities like this place, anyway. They're usually all stuck inside for one reason or another. It sucks, right?

[ ah, he does remember asking a bit about where she's from... even if he can't recall the city's name. and an intrusive thought appears, along those lines: So long as she's not from that Yokohama, I guess. ]

[ he wants to comment on how he's noticed her sister didn't come along with her to america (or it's curious, why they wouldn't choose to live together)-- but. hey, family can be a touchy topic for him; he'll try to show some deference. ]

So, why come here?
