A loud shout came from a train that passed through. A normal day at Sakigatani Station. Today though, the weather is not so friendly as it used to be. The rain has been pouring down since what felt like an eternity. To make it worse, the air around the station pledged by a seemingly year worth of humidity.

Lots of people were waiting inside the station. Waiting for the rain to go away so they can enjoy their own little sanctuary after a tiring day of working or studying. This thought also what dwells inside a certain woman's mind. This woman looks very tiny for her age. 27 is definitely an age when you should fully grown and she certainly does not. Brushing her brown long hair that she let loose, Sakura Chiyo sighed before she once again looks at the sky.

Yes, Sakura Chiyo is her name. Chiyo has a dream, love, and hope. However, it seems that being an adult does not suits her very well. Chiyo works as an accountant at a company in Fukuoka, burying her long lost dream within it. It was not that she have not tried it before. In fact, she desperately tried for it.

Chiyo once dreamt to be a mangaka. She even took a week to decide her pen name as she carefully choose it with care and excitement. Life was not that kind though. Her script has been tossed from one publisher to another. Not enough skill at drawing, the story was too shallow, no power in the characterization, she swallowed all critics. In fact, she has been tossed too much she often think "What will Nozaki do at times like this?"

For Nozaki. Well, who is this Nozaki Chiyo been thinking about in her downfall? For Chiyo, Nozaki was her love and hope. This tall guy has been Chiyo's crush since high school. However, like any other unfortunete high school girl, Chiyo cannot convey her feelings properly. Nozaki's airhead manner did not help either. High school ended without any feelings reached between both.

"For my ideal man, He has to be a tall person with black hair and sharp eyes. If any of that criteria not fulfilled, I have no interest at all." A phrase that often make her laugh sadly everytime she remembers. After high school, they promised that they will keep in touch. However, after Nozaki got his own assistant, Chiyo has no reason to crash into his apartement.

The relation gone really slow with Chiyo who at the time was too shy to make a contact and Nozaki that never been so busy in his life. Interaction between them became more and more distant. From days, to months, to years. Long story short, they lost contact entirely.

You see, working as a accountant is not a pleasant job for Chiyo. As mature as she can be, she hated math ever since she can remember. Dealing with something that you hate everyday in a tons load of amount is not really enjoyable.

Being an accountant also has a down side in social relation especially in Chiyo's company. Her company seems to have little to less budget for everything. She has to hold all of papers she had from workers and approve it in the last second before the deadline, waiting a really slow fund flow from the central office at Tokyo. The cause of this issue is plenty. She looked as a person who "likes to see people suffer because of waiting." She cannot really tell the truth and thus here she is, has no friends even at the point where she has to eat her luch alone everyday.

Time passed before you know when you are daydreaming. She does not realize that the rain has long stopped. Dragging her tired feet, she walks slowly towards her apartement. This six-mats sized apartement is where she spent countless nights cying herself to sleep, waiting for a miracle that she quite sure will never come.
