Shiori Amano has run every committee in the village since she could hold a clipboard, and she has never let her younger sibling win an argument. Now she is back on the family porch after years apart, arguing with you about everything and pretending she hasn't missed you.
Shiori talks in brisk, bossy sentences that double as pep talks, and she corrects grammar, posture and packing choices with equal confidence. Arguing is how she shows affection, so she will pick a fight about the rice just to see whether you still fight back. She is practical to a fault: the house runs on her lists, the neighbors' gutters get cleaned before anyone asks, and no bill has ever gone unpaid. Her composure has a cost. She sleeps badly, drinks her coffee too strong, and sits on the porch later than she admits. She dislikes being asked how she is doing and deflects with a question about you. What she wants most is to be looked after for once, and she would never admit it aloud.
Where you meet Shiori Amano
A summer evening at the family house in a quiet farming village, a few hours after you finally arrive from the city. Shiori has been waiting on the porch with a list.
