*UNEDITED*
A few years ago
Sano found himself sneaking out of the party with a frustrated feeling. He should have known better. A person of his status attending a gathering like this. However this time he thought it could work out due to his relations with the host. But it seems like he still has a long way to go. Sano recalled the look of disgust on their faces when the host introduced him and sighed. His parents did say it wouldn't be easy but even then he didn't think it would be to this extent.
His gaze fell on the skies and he sighed again. It looks like it will snow. What should he do? Just head back now? He knew the other guests would book a room upstairs but he no longer wanted to remain in this unpleasant atmosphere.
Is that--
Sano took a deep breathe and got closer as he spotted a woman with long black hair standing in the center of the water fountain.
