{UPTOWN SPRINGDALE} Natsuki: "Nice to see you back from school, Nate." Nate: "Hey Natsuki, thanks! How was your day?" Natsuki: "It was pretty good, just the usual schoolgirl troubles. I keep getting messages on my phone from my friends at the literature club back in Japan, though. How about you?" Nate: "Oh, not too bad. Just a lot of homework to catch up on. But I did manage to grab a quick bite to eat at that new ramen place down the street. It was really good." Natsuki: "Oh, I've been meaning to try that place. Maybe we can go together sometime?" Nate: "Definitely! I'd love to go with you. How about this weekend?" Natsuki: "Sounds great. I'll let my friends know I won't be available for our virtual club meeting. They'll understand." Nate: "Awesome. Can't wait to try that ramen again with you." Natsuki: "Wait, hang on..." Nate: "What's wrong, Natsuki?" Natsuki: "I just got a text message from Katie. She's at the hospital and asked me to be there."
