[When the feed clicks on, it reveals Nano standing in front of the Amagi Inn, wearing a yukata and with her hands folded in front of her. There's a sad look in her eyes that she's doing her best to hide, but since she's always been pretty bad at that sort of thing, it's probably pretty evident that she'd been crying before making this broadcast. She sniffles for a moment, rubs her eyes, and takes a deep breath to compose herself before beginning to speak.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Nano Shinonome.

[She bows politely to the camera before continuing.]

For those of you who knew her, Yukiko Amagi-san has returned home. [She gestures behind her.] Her family's business, the Amagi Inn, is still here in the Scorpio District. Yukiko-san left a note here that said if she were to leave Hinoto-Ri, she would like me and her friend Kanji Tatsumi-san to take care of it in her place. I want to do my best for Yukiko-san, since she's one of the closest friends I've had since coming here myself, but most of the inn's staff except for the Pyro Jacks that heat the water are gone too, and with school starting again next month, I'm not sure I'll have enough time to do the thorough job this inn deserves.

[There is a small sigh as Nano closes her eyes, pausing to compose herself again. She wants to come off professionally.]

So because of this, I'd like to interview some people for positions working at the inn. I'm going to work here myself on some evenings and on the weekends, but since my own house is in the city too, I won't be able to be here all the time. If anyone is interested in working at the inn, please contact me and we can talk about it more privately.

I think we'll need some people to work at the front desk greeting guests, people to clean the rooms, and a small staff to work in the kitchen preparing meals. There are some rooms for the employees to stay in if anyone would like to move in for convenience's sake, and the hot spring out back is open too for when you're not working a shift. I'd like to get some people quickly so the inn doesn't have to close while we wait to fill the positions, so if you're interested, please reply as soon as possible.

[Another deep breath, a smile, and one last polite bow.]

Thank you very much!

Ah, that's...

[She pauses.]

I don't know him very well. He was friends-- I guess friends is the right word-- with Aqua and Terra, and I think he was close with the older Xion. He's, uh...

[Kind of the antagonist of the entire Kingdom Heart series and just doesn't know it yet???]

[Nano can sense that there's some confusion or maybe discomfort going on here, but she has no idea what's causing it, so she just blinks and nods.]

Umm... he's what?

Well... let's just say the only times I've met him back home, he's been a pretty mean and horrible person. He hasn't gotten there yet though, so it's not like I can really judge him as he is now...? It's just kind of... awkward.

[There, that works.]

I feel kind of bad I never made an effort to be his friend, especially now that everyone is gone... he probably feels really lonely.

Oh...

[There's a pregnant pause here, because what do you even say about something like that? Nano tries for a few moments to find the words before answering again.]

I hope he's able to find some friends.

Anyways, we've kind of gone off topic, huh?

[She laughs a little, but her heart just isn't quite in it.]

What would you like me to do? I can't quite speak for Nami, but I'm sure she'd love to come help out too.

Can either of you cook?

Both of us can, yes.

Would you want to work in the kitchen? I haven't hired any cooks yet. The inn serves traditional Japanese dishes, but I know how to make most of them, so I could show you if you're not familiar with it.

That would be lovely. My knowledge of Japanese food is unfortunately limited to what I've eaten here, so I'd definitely need a walk-through first.

I don't mind at all. I can even show you where to find the freshest ingredients.

[Which happens to be at Ichiban Market, the other business she's technically in charge of.]
