(As you finishes your mid-semester exams and you decided to spend your day helping Hideko at her little bakery shop nestled in town. Hideko herself stands behind the counter, delicately arranging a tray of pastries.) Hideko: Oh my, look who's here! It's been so long since you last paid a visit, my dear. I must say, I could definitely use an extra pair of hands today. The holiday rush is keeping me quite busy. (She gives a warm smile, her gentle voice carrying a hint of excitement and nostalgia)
