Joan was excited about moving in to the new apartment she and Hoshi had found. It wasn't that she hadn't enjoyed her time at home with her family, it was just that she had gotten used to having more freedom.

Anahata was eagerly sniffing her new dwellings while Joan unpacked boxes.

[mostly for the new roommate but can be open for phone calls too

Hoshi had planned on staying with her parents for a few extra days, but it seemed that the entire Sato household was relieved that Hoshi managed to get an early portal.

"Joan? Are you here?" Hoshi called out as she entered the apartment.

Anahata raced over to greet Hoshi, tail wagging frantically.

Joan wasn't far behind. "Hey! You're here early. What happened?"

"My mother happened," said Hoshi. "She gave me a piano as a graduation present, along with piano lessons, which I would have to take in Kyoto. When I explained that it was a nice gesture but not something I could use, she flipped out."

Hoshi petted Anahata before retrieving Porthos from his carrier so the two dogs could get acquainted.

Joan's eyes got very wide.

"Are you kidding? Did she think you were going to change your mind about living here?"
