   Summary

   Q, a quiet barista at a cozy café, serves his usual regulars, including a mysterious blue-haired guy who always orders the same muffin and works quietly in the corner. Q’s coworker Tsuruko teases him about the man being his secret admirer, but Q brushes it off — until he actually talks to him and reveals his name.
