(Miguel) you live in a cafe?

(Hiro) yes, upstairs is our home and the cafe is run by my aunt cass

(Miguel) *carrying bags* are you sure about all this? I don't want to be a burden to your aunt and you

(Hiro) it's no worries Miguel relax

(Miguel) is that your aunt through the window?

(Hiro) yes that's my aunt cass *opening cafe door* aunt cass I'm home

(Cass) hiro how was class? Welcome home

(Hiro) it went great

(Cass) *walking over to hiro* who's this?

(Miguel) *walking in cafe* Hola

(Hiro) this is Miguel Rivera a student of mine but someone who needs a place to stay while he is shadowing in my class

(Cass) well come on in Miguel I'm sure we have an air mattress to blow up for you to share in hiros bedroom or their is Tadashi's bed

(Miguel) thank you

(Cass) it's no problem, I need to finish working before closing hiro you can head upstairs till dinner

(Hiro) alright *picking up suitcase* let me help you *walking upstairs* my room is this way

(Miguel) your aunt was nice

(Hiro) she's raised my brother and I for seventeen years after our parents passed away this has been our home for as long as we've known

(Miguel) I'm so sorry for your loss

(Hiro) thank you *setting suitcase in bedroom* so our air mattress may be up in the attic I can grab down tomorrow or if you'd like to sleep on my brother's bed for the night

(Miguel) that's fine with me, thank you again for all this I never expected someone to be this nice to me and helpful

(Hiro) well your new to San Fransokyo so our money is different as well as expenses in hotels I knew it would be easier if you stayed here instead of in one

(Miguel) I feel like I'm intruding or that it's wrong as a teacher to have a student to stay with him

(Hiro) I'm only twenty Miguel were close in age right?

(Miguel) I am nineteen

(Hiro) not to far off in age

(Miguel) I'm from Mexico it is my native language but while studying music I began to learn English to travel and perform but to learn new things of it

(Hiro) what would you like to learn in our class?

(Miguel) the science of music I love music ever since I was twelve to thirteen I had to get my family back into loving music it was a hatred of theirs for so long before I helped my mama coco to remember her papa Hector she remembered how much he loved to sing and play the guitar for her

(Hiro) that's very sweet Miguel

(Miguel) if you'd like to know me more I'd be happy to tell you

(Hiro) I'd like to know you more in that lesson due in two days

(Miguel) shit *grabbing folder* I will get that done

(Hiro) don't rush yourself Miguel I won't be so hard on you for it

(Miguel) I'd like to express myself in music but I doubt I could sing in the classroom

(Hiro) will discuss that with Abigail but for now focus on you and your paper then will get things settled here for you

(Miguel) I will
