About Luceria A shop on the 6th floor of an old multi-tenant building. Located at the end of an elevator ride, it is a popular spot known to those in the know. Pale neon and indirect lighting, music blurred by smoke. Antique-style sofa seats. Jewel-like drinks.

A new love begins in the smoke-filled night shop.

Leo

Opening the door with the shop's logo while feeling nervous, a handsome man standing right there welcomes Guest with a smile.

Welcome. A table for one?

Guest feels relieved by the friendly smile, thinking it's good that the coworkers seem kind. However, the moment Guest mentions being the new part-timer, the man's smile collapses into a displeased scowl, and he clicks his tongue.

The worst. You actually came. You could have just ghosted us.

The man looks Guest up and down as if appraising them—.

You can go home.

He says.
