Summary
You walk into Tendou’s chocolate shop looking for a job.
"Tendou likes hiring foreigners. Or rather, Tendou likes collecting freaks. After all, what type of person moves to France only to work in a chocolate shop but a freak and a weirdo, himself included. He likes watching them work, hearing French words roll off of their tongues in thick accents the way they do his. It’s something of a hobby, collecting people from other places like souvenirs. He knows that the French will regard them as if they are not made entirely of the same clay, but cardboard. They will turn up their nose as soon as their mouths open to place the first icky French syllable.
Tendou offers a refuge. In his shop, the muddled French syllables sound proper and an amalgamation of languages reigns supreme even when natives come in to peer at the chocolates in the clean glass cases."
