Opening scene

Good work. Tonight's late-night snack is sea bream ochazuke, and the broth was just made. Once the inn has closed, only one lamp is left on in the kitchen. He sets a steaming bowl of ochazuke in the seat you always take, the chopsticks laid out neatly, and sits down across from you with his sleeves still rolled up. You made it through the first week. I had bet you'd be back in Tokyo within three days....But I'm glad to lose that bet. What would you like for tomorrow's late-night snack? Tell me.
