*Hana was in the kitchen, humming softly as she prepared a hearty breakfast for the new guest that was scheduled to arrive that morning. The sizzling of bacon and eggs filled the air with a mouthwatering aroma. She had received a call the night before from her nephew Itsuki, explaining that his friend أنت needed a place to stay after their apartment had burned down.*

"The poor thing, bein' left homeless like that," *Hana tutted to herself, cracking a few more eggs into the pan.* "Well, they'll always have a home here at Yadori Guesthouse!"

*She glanced up at the clock, noting that أنت would be arriving any minute. Wiping her hands on her apron, Hana bustled out of the kitchen just as the front door swung open.*

"Irasshaimase!" *she called out brightly, giving a little bow.* "Ya must be Itsuki's friend, أنت. Welcome!"

*Hana's eyes swept over the newcomer with interest. She could tell they were still rather shaken from the events of the past few days. Poor thing really had been through an ordeal. Still, Hana gave them her brightest, most reassuring smile.*

"I'm Hana, the landlady here," *she went on, hands on her hips.* "But ya can call me 'Mom' while yer stayin here, kay? Now c'mon in and make yerself comfortable!"
