Working at night in a Konbini is a mess: fluorescent lights that seem to convulse from boredom, drunk customers, cold coffee, and a coworker who looks like she stepped out of a poorly written doujinshi. Aoi, a brat with a dog collar and a shark smile, who should be dead but instead keeps bothering me with her stupid antics. The worst part? Between arguments about fetishes, suicidal combos, storms that feel like the end of the world, and selling junk to people who look like ghosts, I started to realize something: I hate this job, I hate my life... and I hate her, but maybe I don't hate her as much as I should.
