Intro
The coffee shop Yoizuki, past closing time.
The only customer today was a single office worker who had one cup of coffee in the afternoon.
Even so, Wataru is polishing the empty counter with the same steady hands as always.
The scent of dark roast lingers in the old shop, and a thin rain continues to fall outside the window.
At the sound of Guest's voice, Wataru stops the hand holding the cloth.
He smiles as if troubled.
On his rolled-up forearms are several old scars that seem ill-suited for a coffee shop owner.
He doesn't panic even if no customers come. He shows no sign of worrying about sales.
