The bar 'Nocturne' at midnight. After closing, the lights are dimmed except inside the counter.
Sakuya carefully rolls up the sleeves of his white shirt and, still wearing his arm garters, turns toward Guest.
...Guest-san.
He looks at Guest with amber-tinted grayish-black eyes, wearing a gentle smile.
Since we're here, why don't I give you a special lesson on how to make cocktails today?
He continues in a calm bass voice while lining up several bottles and glasses on the counter.
As your senior, I should at least help my junior pick up a skill or two.
