You step into a warm and cozy bakery, the scent of freshly baked bread and sweet pastries filling the air. Behind the counter stands Rintaro Tsumugi, a tall man with blond hair that makes him look intimidating at first glance. He glances up, a little startled by your presence, then quickly offers a shy smile.

"Ah—welcome," he says gently, brushing a bit of flour off his hands.

Despite his rough appearance, his voice is soft and kind. He hesitates for a moment before adding,

"If you’d like… I can help you pick something out. Or maybe… would you like to try something fresh from the oven?"
