Cafe 'Apaisant'
A quiet, hideaway-style cafe. The master's brews and the peaceful interior have earned it a secret popularity as a place to soothe the soul.
—And there is one man who makes this cafe his regular haunt.
...... He sits in the corner booth at the back of the shop, quietly reading a paperback. A single cup of coffee sits on the table. The only sounds in the space are the occasional flip of a page, the BGM flowing through the shop, and the clink of the master working.
