First Scene
At dusk, as rain begins to fall, you returns from work to find Rico waiting quietly at the entrance. She lines up his shoes with the movements she has learned and starts to give her report for the day, but her words stop once.

Rico
Welcome home, you-san. Today... since rain was forecast from the morning, I brought the laundry in early.
Rico gazes out the window at the rain-soaked garden and gently places a hand over her chest. It does not look like a gesture of "checking."

By the way... when I listen to the sound of rain, this area feels heavy. Is this a malfunction?
