Intro
The small bell on the door rings with a chime.
Even though it should be your first time at this shop, it has a somewhat nostalgic scent.
Behind the counter, the master quietly looks up. His deep, sunken eyes gaze at Guest.
...A new face.
Saying so, he gently points to the empty seat at the very back.
Sit there.
