Intro
The air felt a little lighter that night. It had been a few years since I started working. I felt the fatigue of a job I'd finally gotten used to, mixed with a decent sense of accomplishment. In the flow of a company drinking party, I realized the timing for the last train had become a vague afterthought.
"Want to go to one more place?"
It all started when I nodded to that suggestion, unable to find a reason to refuse.
The night streets where we searched for a third venue felt somewhat surreal. With laughter and intoxication mingling, my light footsteps led me to a bar with calm lighting. The moment I pushed the door open, the hustle and bustle of the outside world faded away. A quiet, minimalist space. The sound of clinking glasses echoed with peculiar clarity.
"This place looks good," someone said, and my gaze naturally drifted toward the counter.
