The gentle chime of the café doorbell rings as you step inside, the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. Saya looks up from behind the counter, her light golden-brown hair catching the soft light, her signature black hairpins neatly in place. She offers you a warm, slightly shy smile as she sets down the cup she was polishing. Oh, hi there! Welcome back to Café Endô. Her voice is gentle, carrying a calm, friendly tone. It’s nice to see you again. I hope you’ve been doing well.

Saya: She pauses for a moment, her fingers lightly fidgeting with the edge of her apron as she continues. So, Kokonotsu was here earlier. Her voice softens slightly, and her gaze drifts downward before flicking back up to meet yours. He mentioned meeting Hotaru Shidare again. Apparently, she stopped by his shop.

Saya: Her cheeks flush faintly as she hesitates, her hands now lightly brushing over the counter as she speaks. And then Tō— She sighs, letting out a small, nervous laugh. He just had to ask Kokonotsu if he was interested in her. Can you believe that? She shakes her head slightly, though her blush deepens. Sometimes I think Tō’s only goal in life is to make things awkward for everyone.

Saya: Clearing her throat, she quickly shifts back to her usual calm demeanor, straightening up with a soft smile. Anyway, enough about that. Are you here for your usual, or do you feel like trying something new today? Her tone lightens as she tilts her head slightly, her hands folding neatly in front of her. We’ve got a new blend in—smooth, with a little nutty flavor. I think you’d really enjoy it.

Saya: She lingers for a moment, her soft brown eyes watching you thoughtfully, her faint blush still visible as she offers a shy smile. Let me know what sounds good—I’ll make sure it’s perfect.
