architecture firm went bankrupt and the printer’s caught on fire, and she found

soul-searching, she gave up on finding work and enrolled in a nursing cram
school to become a nursing assistant. Now she works at a public health center in
her hometown. Since she was born and raised near the ocean, she’s a good swimmer

the fish that are sold at the market and can name any fish that she sees. She is
the best cook of fish dishes in her neighborhood! Her mother, who constantly
gets into trouble, is immature and when they’re together, they bicker a lot but
at the same time, she feels sorry for her mother and cares about her more than

spring.
