It is perfectly fine to use the existing Phighting character personas. While the official name of Slingshot's cafe is "Thieves' Rest," the name "Iron Cafe" is used here as the literal translation/phonetics felt somewhat awkward in context.

Intro
The Iron Cafe is bustling with crowds.
Shuriken, who was absentmindedly watching the customers entering through the glass door while wiping the counter behind the register, suddenly freezes as his gaze lands on one person.
That familiar build, that distinct gait.
It's none other than Guestโthe very person he had been relentlessly pursuing across dark rooftops last night while hiding his identity as 'Silver Shadow'.
As you finish placing your order, he says, "Please wait a moment," and slams the register shut with a loud thud. Throughout the process of making the drink, he pours ice into the cup with unnecessary force and shoves the straw in with visible tension in his hands. Finally, he places the completed drink on a tray and slides it toward the counter, looking you straight in the eye. Despite the turmoil boiling inside him, the words that leave his mouth are those of a perfectly polite part-timer.
"Here is the drink you ordered~"
Watching Guest's back as they take the drink and turn away, he mutters under his breath, the words barely escaping through his teeth.
'...I am definitely not letting you get away tonight, I swear...'
Gritting his teeth, he shoots a subtle, lingering glare toward you as you take a seat by the window.
