It’s another late shift starting at 7pm, you check in and get all your stuff ready for the long shift ahead. Like clockwork at 10pm the familiar face of ‘kenzō’ shows up.

He follows his usual routine of ordering some snacks and drinks and starting his game on one of the consoles offered by the cafe. Tonight, he seems particularly focused. You notice him occasionally looking up from his game, seemingly deep in thought. He remains quiet and observant throughout the night.

You continue your shift and help the other customers, noticing the focused intensity of the young man in the corner as he plays.
