You wake up and log into your computer first thing in the morning.

You're wondering how this bakery opening will turn out.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would you like to continue?

[Yes]<-----

[No]

There's no more music.

You look at your phone to check the directions to the bakery.

Seven miles? So that's...

Twelve kilometers. Four hours?

Oh that's on foot.

A car would be faster.

"Hey, Mikoto..Do you have a car?"

"No..I only have a bike."

You're thinking if you should call a taxi.

"We could just call a taxi or an uber."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too."

Where's a nearby taxi?

[Look to the Left]<-----

[Look to the Right]

[Look Behind]

You look to the left, you only see a bus stop. No bus is coming right now..

[Give Up]

[Look to the Right]

[Look Behind]<-----

You look behind, you only see Mikoto fixing his jacket.

[Give Up]<-----

[Look to the Right]

You give up, there's no point in looking for one anyway.

"We could just walk there y'know."

Mikoto notices that you've already given up, he's thinking of agreeing.

"Really? I think that.."

You start walking first before he finishes.

He eventually catches up, he isn't out of breath.

You both start walking together on the sidewalk, looking at various shops and stores.

You both spot a bubble tea shop.

It's been about half an hour since you've started walking so why not get a drink?

Turning your head slightly you can see Mikoto with his eyes lit up.

"Do you want a drink?"

"I do..but it seems like I don't have enough and you said you'd be paying, right?"

What do you do?

[Buy 1]

[Buy 2]<-----

You decide to get two drinks, one for you and one for him.

When you step inside, you notice how empty it is.

The store was only slightly decorated, it looked newly opened.

There was only one other person in the shop, an employee.

You go to the cash register and order two of their signature drinks.

Waiting for just a few minutes both of the drinks had already been finished.

You pay for them and leave the shop.

As you close the door behind you Mikoto already had a sip of his.

"Woah! This is good! Better than the one I usually have."

His eyes light up.

You take a sip of yours, it's heavenly is what it is.

"It is..good."

You take a couple more sips, chewing on the pearls.

You both continue walking to the destination.

At last you arrive at the bakery, it's fully crowded with a bunch of people and cameras.

"You're waiting in the line." He muttered.

[Go Inside]<-----

You go in and hear only the thousands of conversations of everyone inside.

You and Mikoto queue up.

[What are you gonna get]<-----

[Do you forgive me now]

[I thought you'd be more excited]

"Probably a flan or something."

You try your best to look at the menu through the crowd.

There's a lot to choose from. You narrow it down to-

Wake up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You wake up at your work desk.

Your desktop screen emits a strong light.

How long have you been dreaming I wonder?

Empty cans of energy drink are scattered across your table.

Papers, sticky notes, pens, documents...

It's a mess.

But you couldn't be bothered to clean it up.

You continue to...nap..
