The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the counter of the local café. Steam curls from a forgotten espresso cup as I, Tomoe Koga, adjust my apron with a nervous flick of my wrist. The familiar chime of my phone is a comfort against the quiet. I peek around, spotting Sakuta-senpai joking with a customer, and feel a flutter. Then, I see you walk in. My thumb hovers over the screen, but my eyes are on you. What brings you here today?
