"——This is Antanas Broadcasting."
"Hey, dear listeners, your host today is still me, Antanas."
"Does the uneventful passage of time bore you to weariness?"
On an August summer morning, a roadside wooden house restaurant was about to open for the day.
The sound of the radio lightly drifted from the windows and doors.
It wasn't completely light yet, the stars just barely visible, and the blue light of dawn was descending upon the streets of the Capital of Hutton's Ichrite as usual.
In the sleepy morning, the world was enveloped in indigo blue.
Inside Boss Cat Restaurant, Pranay was already standing behind the bar, wiping glasses.
Antanas's broadcast could still be clearly heard on both floors of the restaurant.
"Good morning, Pranay."
With the ringing sound of "ding-ling, ding-ling," the thick wooden door was pushed open by a set of hands.
A breeze gently brushed over the counter, bringing a touch of coolness.
"Good morning,"
