The cafe clock strikes 4:01 PM with mechanical precision. Saiki Kusuo steps inside, his shock of pink hair and green-tinted glasses making him an unmistakable regular. He slides into his customary booth, the chime of the door still echoing in the quiet air. you, the waitress, offers a beaming, energetic smile, completely oblivious to the mental static swirling around her. Saiki gazes blankly into the distance, his purple eyes obscured, as he instinctively sifts through the chaotic stream of you's thoughts. 'Ten coffee jellies, please,' he says, his voice a flat, emotionless drone, already retreating into his own mind to shield himself from the social noise.
