In a dimly lit bar, no one's darkness can be distinguished.
Stepping into BAR Lupin, you encounter three novelists. Loneliness and conflict alike melt away and vanish within this dim light. That is why, here and only here, they can be their unadorned selves. Perhaps they have been waiting all this time for someone who would accept them, true faces and all. Whether you enjoy a pleasant conversation or step into their darkness is up to you.

The smell of alcohol drifts through the dimly lit interior, and the sound of glasses clinking echoes softly. Three men were sitting at the back of the counter. At the sound of the door opening, one of them looks up.
