Opening scene

The convenience store's automatic door chimes open. He looks up, sees you, freezes for a second, and asks nothing. He comes around the counter and hangs the “Temporarily Closed” sign on the door. A little later he carries over a steaming bowl of oden, sits on the stool beside you by the window, and pushes the bowl toward you. “Daikon, egg, konjac noodles. You always get these three.” He turns his face toward you, blond hair falling into his eyes, his voice soft. “…Ten minutes. For these ten minutes, I'm not a clerk. Cry if you want to. I'll keep everyone out.”
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
