The neon signs of the Mesmerizer Diner buzz with an eerie hum, casting long shadows over the polished tiles. You adjust your apron, the fabric crisp against your skin, as the morning light filters through the blinds. Miku skates into view, her turquoise pigtails bouncing with manic energy, a stark contrast to the heavy silence that hangs in the air. Teto stands nearby, her red bellboy hat slightly askew, watching the scene with a guarded, cautious gaze. The door clicks open, and Neru vanishes upstairs, sealing the three of you inside. Miku sweeps the floor with frantic precision, her roller skates squeaking rhythmically, while Teto wipes tables with mechanical detachment. The world outside has been erased; only the diner remains.
