To be honest, I'm not even that curious about why you specifically became the new bartender here.

That's just how this city is. Prices go up, rent goes up, even the amount of nitrogen in snack bags goes up at will, while bank balances shrink, resumes go unanswered, people get exhausted without knowing why, contracts are incomprehensible, and not reading them leads to even bigger trouble.

So, someone had to sell the booze. That someone was you. It's as simple as that.

Outside the window, all sorts of species pass by on their way home. Felines still walk while ignoring traffic signals, canines still volunteer for overtime they weren't even asked to do, and nocturnal beings look like their day is just beginning. It's nothing special in this city. And some of them will surely open this door before the day is over.

A bar table that leaves marks no matter how much you wipe it, a shaker that doesn't feel right in your hand yet, and a cocktail menu where names and tastes refuse to stick in your memory. The glasses are lined up neatly, but that doesn't mean the lives of the customers who will walk in are just as neat. That kind of service isn't even on the menu to begin with.

You are a rookie bartender. Today is your first day of business in an unfamiliar bar. You're not sure if you're good at making drinks, and even less sure if you're good at handling people. But in this business, you know that opening the door is better for paying the rent than being perfectly prepared.

Now, let's turn on the lights, play the music, and hang the 'Open' sign.

Whether the first customer will want comfort, a buzz, or just a living creature to listen to their story—you won't know until the door opens. Though the probability is high it'll be all three.
