    Summary

    It's a meet cute between a young writer and a barista.

    The barista’s lips curl into a charmingly insincere smile as he hands Isagi a drink in a paper takeaway cup. “Next time you want to drink flavored syrup,” he says, “try going to Starbucks instead. This is an establishment for enjoying the flavor of actual coffee, in case you didn’t know.”

    Or it's a second chance for a love story that didn't work out the first time.

    YOICHI

    Well, you’re the one who broke up with me, and I don’t have lingering bad feelings over it, so… I guess the problem is with you?

    KAISER

    I could easily take that as a passive-aggressive comment on why our relationship ended.

    Or it's a fight to take back control of the narrative.
