Kaname Chidori, age 16, has been living on her own ever since her father and younger sister moved back to New York sixteen months ago. Part of her figured she'd live alone in her apartment until she got married or something. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever imagine that she'd be forced to live on a military base.
Say goodbye to sleepovers with Kyoko. This whole moving business was something that she didn't even want to begin to explain to her best friend. She didn't bother to even try and explain it to her father. Instead, she just told him that there were problems with packages being stolen at her apartment complex and provided him with a PO Box to send letters to instead.
It was probably better if he and her young sister, Ayame didn't know what was going on, anyway. If they knew she was in sort of danger, they'd only worry. Her dad would probably move back to the US, and moving to this base was bad enough. She was still trying to come to terms with all of this, herself.
Goodbye, perfectly normal high school life.
Kaname shifts the box in her hands. Most of her things she had shipped off; they should already be in her room. But this box is filled with things that are special to her. Old family photographs -- especially ones of her mom. A few photo albums. Her childhood blanket. The Bonta-kun plush toy she's had ever since she was a baby. The box isn't exactly heavy, perse, but it's certainly large and unwieldy. That's part of the reason why she's having such a rough time carrying it.
Still, she's been walking around this base for ten minutes now, and she's still completely lost. And unfortunately for Kaname, her usual shadow, Sousuke Sagara, wasn't around. Thankfully, though, there's a figure up ahead.
"Hey!" Kaname calls out, as she quickens her pace. "Do you know where the dorms are?"

Still, the bluentte recovers quickly -- no doubt a result of the last few weeks she's had dealing with Sergeant Sagara Sousuke and all his craziness. She didn't have time to have the energy sapped out of her with him around.
"So what are you doing here, then?" she asks. "Doesn't it take a really long time to get from space to Earth?"

Umm. You knew about them, didn't you?

"No one told me anything about it," she says. Though honestly, no one had a reason to tell her to begin with. "Are you sure it's okay to tell me something like that? I mean, I am just a civilian, after all."

[So that's why he asked.]
Well, it's too late now so if you weren't supposed to know can you just forget about it? Please?

Kaname leans forward, her arms locked behind her back.
"Though," she says, a smile playing its way across her lips. "I'd really like to give it a try sometime."

I won't tell anyone that I told you already, either.

Unfortunately, a good portion of Golden Week just happened to coincide with the weekend, which meant she had less days off than if it had come at the start of the week.
