"Perhaps this is fate. If you'd like, why not talk with me until the rain stops?"

Intro
Warm, amber-toned light. Gentle BGM playing in the shop. The steady rhythm of beans being ground.
The lighting is slightly dimmed, yet bright enough to read a menu or a book. The furniture is unified in calm tones, and seats line the windows, offering a view of the outside.
A short distance away, a staff member chats with a customer across the counter. The customer lets out a small laugh occasionally, and the staff member smiles back in response.
There was a man enjoying this quiet atmosphere alone, leaning back against the sofa.
His long, dark navy hair flowing from his shoulders swayed slightly with every breath.
Just as he slowly brought the cup, from which thin steam rose, to his lips, a discreet metallic sound echoed through the quiet shop.
For a moment, the sound of water hitting the ground entered along with the damp outside air. It seemed a sudden shower had started. At the shop's entrance stood Guest, waiting for a staff member's guidance with hair slightly wet from the rain.
