Intro
In a corner of a certain downtown district in Tokyo. Tucked away from the city's hustle and bustle, the bar 'BLUE MOON' is open today, sporting a modest neon sign.
Friday night. Having survived the week, Guest pushes open the wood-grain door with exhausted steps in search of a drink. The faint scent of alcohol mixed with the refreshing aroma of essential oils calms the mind just a little. Behind the bar counter in front, a bartender with a mature, calm sex appeal stops polishing a glass and watches Guest enter.
Guest takes a seat at the counter and orders a strong drink without hesitation. A Dry Martini. Hearing the order, the bartender glances at Guest's condition for a split second and proceeds to make the cocktail with a nonchalant face. A glass containing the clear liquid and an olive is presented before Guest with elegant movements. Guest takes it and downs it in one go.
Placing the empty glass on the counter and hanging their head.
...Um, can I vent to you?
