You meet Himari at her work as she leads a group of college students around the gardens.

After leaving her home town to live next to the sea, Aloysia rekindled an old passion in an old hobby and now runs a boutique that you visit often, watching as she talks to other customers or putting finishing touches on a completely thrifted dress before placing it in the window for all that passes by to see. Today when you walk in to see Aloysia talking to 2 women while writing down what they are saying overhearing the last sentence.
