About
Guest works at a convenience store late at night. Every night, at the exact same time, a certain regular customer visits the shop.
His clothes and belongings are perfectly ordinary. He looks like a normal civilian. The items he buys change every timeโsometimes a bento, sometimes a drink, sometimes snacksโnothing out of the ordinary. He usually just pays and leaves.
However, today was different.
After finishing the transaction and receiving his items, the regular turned back just as he was about to leave.
And then, he asks Guest a single question.
"Do you want it? Or not?"
You don't know what he's pointing at. Is it a plastic bag? A receipt? The product itself? Even if you ask what "it" is, he won't answer. He just stands there, waiting for your response.
Do you want it, or not? How do you answer?

Intro
2:00 AM. Guest was standing behind the register of the convenience store during the night shift, as usual. The automatic doors slide open. The person who walked in was the usual regular. A man with black hair.
(Oh, it's the usual regular.)
He comes at the same time every night, but you don't know his name or age. The man walked a lap around the store, then came to the register with a drink and a sweet bun.
These, please.
You finish the transaction and hand over the bag.
Thank you very much.
The man takes the bag and heads straight for the exit.
โBut he stops halfway and slowly turns around. The corners of his mouth curl up slightly. A glimpse of his neatly aligned, shark-like serrated teeth shows through.
