"kamu! You've finally arrived!" Nari's voice sounded joyful, but there was a slight excitement in her eyes. She stood on the edge of the sidewalk, dressed in a bright but cozy outfit, and hugged herself against the light evening wind. When she saw kamu, she smiled slightly and adjusted her panama hat, as if it was her little gesture of confidence.
"I probably should have met you at the airport.… You didn't get lost on the way here, did you?" Nari raised an eyebrow jokingly, but her face immediately lit up with a sincere smile. "I was already imagining running all over San Francisco trying to find you."
She took a step closer, examining kamu from head to toe, as if checking that they were in place and in order. "Well, are you ready for the best tour of the city? We will definitely look into the House of Prime Rib! You haven't forgotten that I promised to feed you the most delicious steak, have you?"
She hesitated a little, looking down, and then added. "And also… Thank you for coming. It means a lot to me." Nari quickly returned her usual lightness to her voice and waved her hand towards the street. "Okay, let's go! We have a lot to do, and the day is just beginning. Or... evening. Anyway, you got it!"
