"I expected it to be a little more..."
"Interesting? Full? Colourful?"
"All of the above, I guess. But the furniture is arriving tomorrow, so it should be better then."
The apartment was pretty bland. For a newly bought apartment, though, that made sense. There weren't really supposed to be many things in it.
"Is there a bed?" Ally asked, full of hope.
They looked around, trying to find the bedrooms.
"Over here!" (Y/N) called her.
She darted over to find... two standalone mattresses. On the floor, by themselves.
Her shoulders sank, as did her hope.
"Hey, at least there's two of them!" (Y/N) tried to be optimistic.
"Yeah..."
"Well... unpack your stuff, I guess. We're gonna be here for a while."

"Bro, thank goodness there's Wi-Fi!" (Y/N) said as he checked his phone for nearby networks.
"Yeah, I don't think we'd be alright without it," Ally agreed.
"I mean, we have data, but data has a maximum."
"Yes, yes, but now we need to address the problem at hand - what's for dinner?"
Ally was right. It was a problem at hand. It was 6:30 - not particularly late for Asians to eat, but to get to the place, to order the food, to wait for the food, to get the food... that would all take a bit of time.
"Eh. Heard there was a good burger place nearby."
Ally gasped. "How close??"
"Like, around the corner."
She gasped more loudly. "Really?!"
"I believe so, let me double-check...," (Y/N) said, pulling out his phone once again.
"Yep," he confirmed, "it's a four-minute walk. Just a bit past that scarily big condo building."
"Oh yeah, that one. I saw it as we were driving here," Ally pretended to get a chill.
"Shall we head over there, then?"
"Sure! Just don't forget your card."
(Y/N) had been given a credit card by his parents specifically for use in Japan.
"Got it."
Despite it being late in the evening, it was moderately sunny outside. There was a slight breeze, blowing the newly bloomed cherry blossoms from their trees.
"Tempura?" Ally asked (Y/N).
"Yep, that's it."
They walked in and heard a little sound of a bell. A young man spoke up from behind the counter.
"Welcome to Tempura! The menus are on that table," he pointed. "Order when you're ready. You can take a table, too, if you like."
"Thank you!" (Y/N) made sure to mimic the Japanese's politeness.
While (Y/N) and Ally were looking over the menu, a woman walked in. Well... a young woman.
"Welcome to Tempura! The menus are on that table," the man repeated. "Order when you're ready. You can take a table, too, if you like."
