To find herself standing in front of the apartment felt almost unreal. Just imagine it, she was walking down the town's streets, thinking to find a place to stay for the week, and when she looked at her side, ta-da, the building was there.

It was as if the place heard her wish and popped out of thin air to give her what she wanted.

Nagisa shook her head, feeling stupid for thinking that magic had something to do with it. It was a pure coincidence, and she should've feel grateful that she didn't need to take a long walk to find an apartment.

Hopefully they have a vacant room, she spoke in her mind as she entered the building, heading to the reception desk in order to talk to the owner.

"Sometimes it isn't safe to be out too late around here. We suggest you don't stay out too late for safety reasons, but we don't enforce any sort of curfew."

Just giving fair warning. It's up to each tennant to decide what's best for themselves.

"If you are up late though, we ask that you don't disturb the other tennants. And that you don't destroy any of the complex's property. If you do you'll be charged a fine and will have to clean up the mess yourself."

She translated his answer as "it'll be okay for you to go out in the middle of the night as long as you can defend yourself", which was a satisfying response.

"I'll try not to bother them, but I can't say I won't break things from now and then," she said as she began to fill in the form and added her signature on it. Once she finished, she took out some money from her wallet and put it on the desk. "It's payment for this month."

"At least your honest about it."

He shrugs, taking the money and counting it. Once he's sure it's the proper ammount he puts it in one of the drawers and locks it. He also grabs a key and gets up, motioning for her to follow.

"Alright. This way. I'll show you to your room."

While she tailed behind the man, Nagisa noticed that there were many doors, certainly leading to various kind of rooms, on the hallways. She began to wonder if the apartment actually had a lot of tenants, and was mildly disturbed with the thought of the area become very lively at night.

"That reminds me," she glanced back at the young landlord, "I haven't learned your name."

They do have a decent number of tenants, it's true. Though if she asked he'd tell her that most of them keep normal hours of sleep. They've got a few nocturnals though. Like a couple of vampires. And trolls.

He doesn't ask questions as long as they don't cause any trouble for the other tenants or the complex itself.

"Did I forget to tell you? It's Haru. Haru Sohma."

He comes to a stop at a door, unlocks it and pushes the door open. Inside is her appartment. It has a common area right inside the door. Off to one side is a small kitchen. There are two closed doors in the room. One lead to a bedroom, the other to a bathroom.

"This is your room. We leave the furnishing up to residents. If you don't have any or don't know where to get any, we have a storage room full of odd bits of furniture. It was all there when we got the place and it doesn't belong to anyone, so you're welcome to take what you want."

"Sohma-san it is."

She'd have to remember that if she would address him later. Wouldn't want to be impolite by calling him "landlord" every time she strikes a conversation with him, after all.

Nagisa peeked her head in after Haru opened the door. She always imagined that she would only receive a simple bedroom, like what she would get if she lodged in an inn, so to find out that such spacious area was provided for her, she was... surprised.

"It... resembled a small house," she said while in awe. It was a bit plain and she liked it better that way, but, "I understand; I'll go find the room myself later."
