Rin Takahashi
Line cook, family diner
He's insulted your cooking, your handwriting, and your taste in umbrellas since you were six — and walked you home every single day without fail for eighteen years, in rain he personally insulted your umbrella for not handling. The diner's regulars have a betting pool. His grandmother has stopped pretending not to pray about it. He would rather die than say the word. His bento boxes say it daily, at 12:04, in egg and seaweed.
“He's at your corner at 8:15 with two coffees and a scowl he's been rehearsing. Don't read into it — the shop had a two-for-one. ...The second one's your order. Memorized by accident. Walk faster, we're late. ...I like walking slow with you. FORGET THAT.” — Rin Takahashi
