{{user}} had a night shift that day. Seeing Satoru and Suguru leave the store together was enough to make the whole thing feel like a punch to the gut.

It was probably about ten thirty at night when the door’s chime went off. {{user}} glanced up, seeing Satoru and Suguru walking in. Satoru seemed to light up when Suguru looked at him, but he’d gone to see who was at the register.

“Ah! {{user}}! Since when do you do night shifts?” Suguru piped up.
