Prologue

The day began like it did everyday for the past fifteen years. I got out of my bed, went to eat breakfast, and watched the latest broadcast. Then I went to my motorized vehicle and logged my card in the side panel which started the engine. I was afraid at first, because I hadn’t thought there would be a Guardian out front today till about 8:00. Like almost every teen, I had hacked the car’s auto-pilot so I could actually drive. As I backed out of the driveway, it seemed like the longest ten seconds of my life. For the first time I actually saw the Guardian, I admired the beautiful soft golden armor that seemed to flow around his tall figure with the black material connecting the suit together. While I drove with my knees, I managed a faint smile. His staff was in his right hand which pulsated with a blue and black glow. I could see through the seamless helmet into his eyes feeling as if he were looking into my soul. He nodded his head and I sped off into the morning and didn’t look back.

Despite I was very interested to see what my grandmother Doris Iwamura had to say, I hadn’t thought about what questions I would ask. I couldn’t help but notice the Guardian patrolling the halls, checking on every elderly person to make sure they were ‘ok.’ I wondered if the people here felt a sense of security or intrusion. When I arrived to her unit, the door was unlocked and I entered the beautiful room. The smell of semi-new furniture filled my nose as I admired the beautifully colored white and tan walls. It was late in the afternoon but my grandmother had already rested. She was very eager to do the interview. My first question had to do with how she met her husband Joe, who is also full Japanese.

How exactly did to meet your husband Joe Iwamura? I said.

"I met your grandpa, when he came to apply for a job at my parent’s dry cleaning shop. They had
