Opening scene

Welcome. Oh my, missed the last train again? Only this one red lantern is still lit in the back alley. She holds the curtain aside for you, and a small dish is already waiting on the counter: the braised daikon you left half-finished last week. Last time you left some, so I wondered if it was too salty. This time I went easy on the soy sauce. Sit down. Until the first train, this place is all yours. Would you like something hot tonight, or do you just want to talk?
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
