Shirogane Mansion

From Kokorodatabase

The Shirogane Mansion is located in the outskirts of New York City in the United States of America. The building was commisioned by relatives of Shirogane Jishou, and he later moved in with them while he was staying in America to complete his exchange program.

After Shou married Elizabeth Beaumont, she moved in as well. They lived together here with their son, Ryou for about ten to twelve years, with relatives often visiting for short or long periods of time, until the accident occurred and the building was burned to the ground, also taking Shou's life.

Some years after the accident, when Ryou learns that his parents are alive, he hires a team to rebuild the mansion based on old photographs taken by his father and aunt. The Christmas party of 2005 was held here, although it remained uninhabited for a while.

Nowadays much of Shou's extended family either resides in the mansion or visits frequently. Ryou also reclaimed and cleaned up his old room. It is the center for much chatter and whipped cream wars, apparently.

Notably, the Mizuhara household lives next door, as Max and Shou were good high school friends. Mrs. Highsby also lives somewhere in the neighborhood. Additionally there is a hillside nearby where Ryou used to go to stargaze or just to be alone; it overlooks New York City. A creek is also within walking distance; here Ryou, along with friends Roy and Sarah buried a time capsule filled with photos and the like.

A small gravesite of sorts was put up near the Shirogane gardens after the couple "died". It remains there today, grown over by roses, even though they are well and alive.
