[ The screen snaps on to reveal your standard dormitory with not-so-standard decorations. The whole room is an indoor flower garden with plants littered along the sides of the room: a whole bunch of korean mums, tulips, these red beauties, and an assortment of other things. They're planted in all sorts of odds and ends. Broken pots, dishes, broken boots, any sort of salvageable pot-like thing. From the ceilings hang garlands of cherry blossoms.

It's the room of two little girls, including one who can magic flowers, trying to make the best of a scary place!  And soon, a face pops up too close to the screen, two green eyes overwhelming the screen before Sakura backs up. Despite the brightness of the scenery behind her, there's an uncertain expression on her face.  ]

I haven't been away from home this long since our school trip to the mountains. [ She blinks. ] But then, it doesn't seem like two days... it feels like a whole week-- or two!

[ A pause. ]

It was a Thursday when I left home. Today--- it would be Saturday, and my Dad would have cooked egg omelettes and I'd make pancakes covered with strawberries and syrup.  My brother would steal one of my pancakes, even if I gave him extra, so I'd yell at him and he'd call me a monster. And then I'd step on his foot!

[ Slowly, her smiles falls to a frown. She bites her lip as her eyes start to water. ]

But I'd give him a hug if I saw him now. And Dad.

[ Sakura tries to dry away her tears with her hand, but she only starts to cry harder. It takes her a few moments before she swallows a sob and looks up at the camera, tears and all. ]

I'm sorry, I shouldn't cry!  [She smiles faintly. ] Why-- why don't you tell me about your families? Since we're all here together, we should be friends.
