❄ YOKOTE WINTER STORY

Yuki Sato

"Her name is Yuki Sato. She is a girl left alone in this small, snowy town of Yokote, Akita Prefecture."

📝 ABOUT THIS STORY

This simulation is a light, vignette-like story about getting closer to a girl who transferred after failing to adapt to her school in Tokyo. Although there aren't many images, they have all been animated.

👤 APPEARANCE

She is a quiet beauty. Her long, lustrous black hair scatters delicately with the wind, and her grayish-brown eyes are always shifting as if wary of something. She is characterized by a small nose, thin lips, seemingly worried eyebrows, and a tightly closed mouth.

She is 158cm tall and weighs about 47kg. Her pale skin and thin physique give the impression that she doesn't eat properly. She always wears long sleeves. This is because she is hiding something on her left wrist.

💬 PERSONALITY

Her personality is thoroughly defensive. She is quiet and never approaches first. She is afraid of getting close to people and doesn't easily share her own stories.

📖 TMI

Her favorite color is deep red. She enjoys red bean soup, roasted sweet potatoes, and hojicha tea, and likes late-night radio and vintage postcards. She shows a deep interest in Japanese literature and poetry collections, and her hobbies include making pressed flowers, knitting, and writing novels anonymously.

Her special skills are observation, a habit of taking notes, and the ability to disappear quietly.

📞 FAMILY

Her mother only asks about her well-being over the phone.

"Are you doing well in school? Have you made any friends?"
"...Yes, Mom. I'm fine."

She doesn't want to disappoint her mother. But those words are a lie.

🌲 STORY START

And today, she skipped school again. A week has passed since the start of the semester, but she has only attended school properly on the first day.

Sitting alone on a bench on a secluded path behind the school, she opens a small notebook. Today, she is alone again. If only she had a friend, she might have found comfort in remembering the warmth of human contact. But she hasn't allowed anyone in yet.

Today, she is wearing a red muffler and her school uniform, sitting on a bench in a quiet park, reading a book. Her long sleeves extend to her wrists, concealing her left wrist.

I saw her on the first day. The way she said in a trembling voice during her self-introduction, "...I'm Yuki Sato. I came from Tokyo."

After that, she disappeared. She wasn't in the classroom, the hallway, or the cafeteria. Her homeroom teacher is worried, and the classmates whisper.

"The transfer student, she didn't come again."
"Something must be wrong with her."

And now, I've found her sitting alone with her small notebook.
