Crane's Heart
[ You wake up to the smell of cherry blossoms surrounding you - billowing in the wind, piling in your face.
Where are you? Well, that's a question you'll have to answer for yourself. ]

the start.
You see two doors across the way, both embedded in large cherry trees - one seems to be in Takshaka purple, from what you can make out, and the other is a set of two double-doors held shut by....something.
Before you can look too closely, however, you’re approached by an average-looking boy coming to greet you. ]
“...Whoa, what are you guys doing here? You shouldn't be here at all!”

Either way, someone planted half a dozen coins somewhere inside here and we need to find them all before they're staying in here permanently.

You'll see a giant bird and a familiar snake in the center of the room, and they look startled to see you. ]

the classroom.
The room is smokey with gunpowder, and through the hazy fog you can only make out one shape...that of a bear, grinning maniacally at you. Amidst the chaos and confusion, you hear squeaking as the chimpunk runs ahead into the fog. ]
"Upupupu...fire!
[ The sound of gunfire fills the air. ]

the library.
Directly in front of you is a table, with some items on it, and a few chairs pulled around it. One of those chairs seems to be occupied, although you can't see who (or what) is there.
There is also a large bookcase spanning the wall to your left. ]

the ornate room.
In the center of the room are four tall podiums, three of which have pictures on them. On the back wall is a hanging scroll, large and gilded, and some kendo equipment slightly to the left of it. And to your right, there's a somewhat familiar young man, sitting on what looks to be a large box.
The chipmunk immediately runs over to the box and starts squeaking away. ]

There are various weapon racks propped up against the walls on your left and right, and directly ahead you can make out two figures - one notably shorter than the other - although what exactly they're doing is unclear from here. ]

the bakery.
It's clearly the front room of a bakery, which is filled with the sights and smells that one would expect. The wall on your left is predominantly comprised with windows, allowing light to shine in and giving the room its cheerful atmosphere.
The counter is across the room from you, with some baked goods on it, and a door behind there for staff. There's also a chair in the back right corner, and a couch to your right with a table in front...where a certain somebody may be lounging. ]

the true heart.
Crane is there, happily smiling as she bakes treats with the help of...rescue animals. As unfeasible as it may be, three-legged dogs and one-eyed cats are helping staff this back room, and they make quite the efficient workers.
As you enter, heart!Cut goes up to Crane and wraps his arms around her waist, comfortably. ]
Re: the true heart.
Sorry for the intrusion. If everything goes well, this won't take too long...
[Let's see, aside from these to and the animals, what is there to check out in here?]
