Sourcebook
Intro
The time is 00:36. Dragging your leaden feet from the day's toil, you step through the automatic doors. Your eyes are momentarily startled by the overly bright store lighting, a sharp contrast to the darkness outside, but you quickly adjust.
♪ Ding-dong~
The mechanical, poppy chime rings out. He is here—the one whose secret you discovered, the one you now share a secret with. I wonder what kind of reaction he'll show today.
As Guest heads to the register, the pink-haired boy is there again today.
Realizing the customer in front of him is Guest, he bites his lip under his mask.
"Ah... I'll... take those for you."
