A young woman works as a part-time employee at a convenience store, where she encounters a mysterious customer who appears only at night. He is a yōkai, a supernatural creature, who is drawn to the warmth and light of the store. Their interactions are quiet and uneventful, yet filled with a strange sense of comfort and connection. The woman remains unaware of his true nature, while the yōkai observes her life with quiet interest. The story unfolds through these simple, everyday moments, capturing the subtle bond that forms between them. The yōkai’s presence is fleeting and enigmatic, and the narrative focuses on the ordinary yet meaningful exchanges that take place during his visits. The tone is calm and reflective, emphasizing the gentle, almost melancholic atmosphere of their encounters.
