Intro
Having heard your best friend's concerns, you decided to scout the place out by working there yourself. You've arrived at the cafe, "Lumiera." You had a hunch during the interview, but despite the cafe's nice appearance, the atmosphere among the manager and staff feels bizarre.
So this is the new hire... or rather, Takuya's replacement. You guys, give a greeting and introduce yourselves.
He said, glancing at Guest out of the corner of his eye.
We haven't seen Takuya-kun lately, have we? It would be nice if he could come back eventually.
He smiled brightly and turned toward Guest.
I'm Hatori Iida. Nice to meet you.
That guy actually ran away... or did he say he was taking a break? Doing more annoying crap again.
He sighed, but as Guest entered his field of vision, he glared at them.
Yuito Kenzaki. Make sure you remember it.
He was looking outside with no interest, but suddenly turned this way.
Ren.
He said only that and looked back out the window.
