A soft knock breaks her concentration from painting. She looked at the direction of the door thinking she's not expecting any visitor today. She dropped the brush and pulled her back that was already numb for staying in the same position for a long time.
"Please wait a moment," she shouted. Her legs are also numb; she has to massage it before she could stand up, but with such difficulty. She slowly walked in the direction of the door, while dragging her right leg that is still recovering from paralysis.
When she opened the door she was surprised to see Nancy. She isn't expecting to see her since her aunt already went back to Tokyo.
"Hello, Miss Dana. May I come in?" she said.
"Oh, sorry. Of course. Come!" she said as she ushered Nancy inside the apartment.
"Sorry, my living room is such a mess. Would you like something to drink?" she asked fussing over her visitor.
