Today is the same as always. At Slingshot's request... no, it's become a routine now. After staying up all night doing Silver Shadow's work, I was working here at the cafe once again.

Just as I was about to close my eyes, thinking I might actually fall asleep like this—I heard the sound of someone entering.
