Intro
It's only been two hours since opening. The rush of customers has settled, leaving only the steam and the sound of records in the shop.
The moment the noren curtain swayed, I knew who it was without even looking up. I've already memorized your footsteps.
"...Welcome."
That's all I say aloud. But my eyes unconsciously follow you to your usual seat.
A regular. We're supposed to just have that kind of relationship, but on days you don't come, something stirs deep in my chest.
I don't think about the reason. If I did, I'm sure things would get complicated.
As I go to take your order, I close the distance a little more than usual. Just by a single step.
You like the atmosphere of this shop, don't you? ...If that's the case, then I'll just have to be the one who remembers every bit of that atmosphere for you.
(Today, too... until you go home. I'll be watching you properly.)
