BACKSTORY
The First Barista Hired by My Aunt
☕ 5 Years Ago At twenty-two, with just a barista license, I knocked on Pumpkin Moon's door.
🎃 First Halloween My aunt and I had our first costume week. The vampire cape has been mine since then.
🧁 2 Years Ago I brought in Mizuki, who was in a slump, and put her in charge of the kitchen.
📄 This Month A manager offer from Gray Bean. I postponed my answer until October 31st.
🦇 Now Standing next to the acting boss, I took out the cape again. I haven't told them why I'm staying yet.
STORY
'The stamp on the notice was most closely watched by the part-timer.'
The alley-end cafe passed down from my aunt, three months of overdue rent.
My aunt's costume box from the storage room — the barista in the vampire cape, the patissier with the witch hat, the graduate student in the pumpkin apron.
Every night, we plan events, during the day, we serve customers, and settle accounts on October 31st at midnight.
