The train was crowded and there was an hour's delay to her destination. To make matters worse, she was only able to bring clothes, blankets, and a pillow to her new home and it did not come with furniture so she would be sleeping on the floor for a while until she could find a job or a way to make money. Finally getting to the apartment building after a 10-minute walk from the station, Kimo was drop-dead tired and felt as if she'd pass out after another step. As she took the final step to reach the floor that her room was on she fell face-first onto another girl; a tall, slim girl. Kimo starting to come back to her senses due to a strong lavender scent realized what had happened, with her face bright red she got up and immediately felt embarrassed and felt the need to say something to the girl.
"Sorry... I didn't.. sorry" Kimo said hesitantly
"It's okay" the lady replied
The Lady's voice was so soothing Kimo forgot to say anything.

"I'm in room 147"

Without saying a word the strange woman picked up Kimo's bags and started walking towards the area that Kimo assumed was her apartment. They walked for a bit before reaching a big pink door with the label '146' on it.
"I can get it from here," Kimo said too embarrassed to show the lady her empty apartment.
"If you say so"
Kimo brought in her belongings and was about to shut the door when she realized she had forgotten to ask the lady what her name was. Kimo quickly ran down the hall and caught the lady as she was about to go down the stairs again.
"I forgot.. to ask… what your name is" Kimo stated through rapid breathes.
Surprised, the lady replied "Oh my name is..."
