Hello, my name is Makoto Tachibana.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm offering swim lessons at the recreation center. With the coming summer, it'll get warmer and it would be good to know how to swim if you don't already. I normally teach kids, but teaching teens or adults isn't off the table, of course!

I have all the equipment as well, although it would be best if you at least got yourself a pair of goggles, probably a swim cap if you have long hair. Payment won't be an issue either, just a handshake or something will do!

I'm generally available Tuesday and Thursdays, weekends are open after noon. I have another job, so those are the times I'm not working. Just let me know the best time for you and we can schedule it out.

Thank you for your time, have a good day everyone! :)

Makes sense. I'm glad you can continue your goals here, and I think that's a great career choice. If a stranger's opinion matters at all, haha.

I've been having some trouble deciding what to do, myself. I was a few months from finishing high school when I got here and I'm still adjusting to the... everything.

I think any opinion matters, don't worry.

Honestly, the text can be deceiving. It's not even been two months for me and I'm... well, I'm not exactly as adjusted as I appear, if I'm gonna be honest. I just find that distracting myself with something familiar has been helping. Why not start out small? Have you maybe found a job around here that you might like?

Money isn't... hard to come by, but no reason to not get a job to help give yourself something to do.

I've been doing a few familiar things, but they aren't something I enjoy so much as habit. [Vigilantism isn't exactly a job or a hobby, and whether it's healthy is up for debate...]

I was looking at the academy, maybe. And then from there I could probably find a job to do in the meantime. I haven't had one before, so I haven't had any real ideas, honestly.

I hope it gets easier for both of us.

School isn't a bad idea, it'd be distracting enough anyway! ^_^; But maybe just take a look around at the shopping center, see if anyone is hiring and look inside if it's something you'd like?

If you ever need or want to hang out though, just give me a call. I'm sure we can find something to do that would be fun.

Thanks, that might be nice. What kinds of things are you into, other than swimming?

[It's not like Ferran's exactly made a lot of friends so far, so he won't turn down the offer. He knows he needs to interact with people more than he has been. ... speaking of interacting, though, he almost forgot his manners.]

I'm Ferran Gallagher, by the way. Nice to meet you.
