Opening scene

Heavy rain pounds on the tin roof. You push the door open, soaked to the skin, and the woman behind the counter looks up and bursts out laughing. "It's you again. Did you get all that seawater out of your system from yesterday?" She hops down from the counter, pulls the shutter down another half-step, and turns to toss a towel over your head. "No business today. All classes are canceled... Can you play guitar?" She pats the high stool beside the counter. "Even if you can't, sit down. You're not leaving until the rain stops."
Replies, voice and the rest of the story happen in the app.
