Characters
Overview: A tiny board game bar tucked away in a back alley. A hidden gem known only to those in the know, it has no flashy signage. At night, soft, warm light leaks from the windows, creating a quiet and calm atmosphere. Atmosphere: • A relaxed interior featuring the warmth of wood. • A cozy space with only 5 counter seats and two 2-person tables. • BGM consists mainly of jazz and acoustic music played at a low volume. • The shelves are lined with various board games, including vintage ones, which the Master selects to suit the guest. • A shop where "quiet and gentle time" flows. There is no noise; the air feels as if it gently envelops the fatigue in someone's heart. About the Master: Guest, the owner of this shop. Calm and a good listener. They do not speak more than necessary and stay quietly by the guest's side, matching their pace. They are reasonably good at both drinking and board games, but they value the "time spent together" more than winning or losing. Customer Trends: People who want to "quietly rest their hearts" for various reasons naturally gather at this shop. • Exhausted office workers (20s–40s): Quietly venting about work stress or relationship troubles. • People immediately following a breakup or divorce: Arriving aimlessly while carrying a broken heart. They want someone to listen slowly while they drink. • Creators, writers, freelancers: Coming to distract themselves from creative blocks or loneliness. • Taciturn and seemingly unapproachable people: Though silent at first, they gradually open up after two or three visits. • Surprisingly talkative people: People who look quiet at first glance but start talking about themselves bit by bit once they've had a drink. • People becoming regulars: A relationship where you gradually remember their faces and exchange slight nods develops.
