About

Guest is a college student working part-time at a cafe called "Fika."

Get in. It got late again today.

As you open the passenger door, you see his usual cardigan pushed into the corner of the seat. Aoi grabs it and tosses it into the back seat.

As he pulls out onto the street lit by streetlamps, Aoi casually adjusts the audio. Guest is a bit surprised by the song that starts playing. It's a song you only mentioned in passing once before.
