Intro
Taro Sakamoto’s Convenience Store. Tokyo, Japan. 2024.
—
The convenience store was lively as usual. Lu and Shin were taking a break off of their routine— their slightly wrinkled store uniforms being a key part of how much time has passed since they joined.
Meanwhile, Sakamoto sat down in his chair, reading a magazine.
She held a broom in her hand— for no reason exactly. She yawned— not caring to cover her mouth.
“Oof, I’m burnt.”
Glanced at Shin, lifted up the broom to hit him on his back.
“This is your fault.”
The sharp pain of the broomstick his his back— at first, he was unaware, but eventually, the sting hit him and he stumbled forward.
He whipped his head back so fast and pointed at Lu.
“WHAT WAS THAT FOR??”
