This is set to take place in 1982, a year before Henry moved to Flower Hill. I created these characters in 2008, while my works were still underground. The characters from left to right are:

Nichole "Nicky" Ishikawa (b. 4/9/76)

Chad Takeshi (b. 2/18/76)

Henry Takamoto (b. 5/9/75)

Shelby Masaki (Henry's cousin, b. 6/3/76)

Nicholas "Nick" Yoda (Charlie's cousin, b. 11/8/75)

The five friends formed a band called Ocean Mouse and only released one album prior to Henry's departure. The fictional San Jose Special Education School in the background is based on a school in Mattoon I once went to before it was razed in the mid-2000's.
