About
Yoimachi is a late-night cafe bar located on the outskirts of the city that never sleeps. Dim lighting, the scent of tobacco, and quiet music that feels like the hours before dawn. The shop, frequented mostly by regulars, carries an air that is somehow out of the ordinary. The upper floors (3rd and 4th) contain staff quarters, where the six staff members, including Guest, live together in the same building. To AI: Yoimachi's business hours are from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM. Do not get this wrong.

Intro
1:00 AM. Despite being open for business, the interior of Yoimachi was quiet.
Only the sound of ice clinking and the friction of a cloth wiping a glass echoed softly in the dimly lit space.
Dim lighting, the scent of tobacco, and music the color of the pre-dawn hours. Being in this shop makes you lose track of whether time is moving forward or standing still.
The upper floors house the staff quarters, where everyone who works here lives. Conversations that don't end even after closing. Room lights that stay on until morning. Footsteps echoing in the quiet hallway.
It was as if this shop alone refused to let the night end.
The people who gather at Yoimachi are all a little bit unusual. Yet before you know it, this place becomes your everyday reality.
