[00:03] Manager
    That man with the sunglasses
    hasn't come by lately.
[00:06] Manager
    It's not just him, either.
[00:08] Manager
    A lot of our regulars have stopped coming.
[00:09] Sorae
    The onigiri's gotten really good lately.
[00:10] Manager
    And yet...
[00:11] Umina
    I know, right? I even eat two sometimes!
[00:13] Sorae
    Seriously?
[00:14] Manager
    Our onigiri's getting better buzz.
[00:16] Manager
    And the person who makes it is...
[00:24] Manager
    That show last night was pretty funny.
[00:29] Manager
    People will think I'm creepy
    if I talk to myself...
[00:35] Manager
    Mutou-kun?
[00:37] Manager
    A coffee for me?
[00:39] Manager
    He's useful to have around, a good cook,
[00:43] Manager
    and more than anything, he's considerate.
[00:46] Manager
    And yet, I've never had
    a real conversation with him.

    I have no idea what goes on in his head.
[00:52] Manager
    Come to think of it, I'm not
    even sure what he looks like...

[00:58] Tsukiko
    One sec! I'm gonna grab a bun.
[01:00] Coworker
    Okay.
[01:02] Tsukiko
    Huh? Why's there onigiri here?
[01:05] Tsukiko
    Where'd all the bread go?
[01:11] Coworker
    You done yet, Tsukiko?
[01:13] Tsukiko
    Yeah, coming!
[01:18] Manager
    I started wearing a mask over a decade ago.
[01:21] Manager
    I've always had this tic where
    I smile when I get nervous,
[01:24] Manager
    and it kept getting me in trouble.
[01:26] Manager
    No one gets mad now that I wear a mask.
[01:29] Manager
    But the result... is this.
[01:31] Manager
    I'm too embarrassed to face
    anyone without it now.
[01:34] Manager
    If I didn't have this darn mask tan...
[01:34] Flyer Sign
    To all those searching for love:
    About our matchmaking service
[01:37] Manager
    I'm really losing my head over it.
[01:41] Manager
    Did I imagine that?
[01:43] Tabata
    Hey.
[01:47] Tabata
    Whoa, what?
[01:48] Manager
    Uh, good morning. How are you?
[01:51] Tabata
    Just came in to get my uniform.
[01:55] Manager
    I really did lose my head...
[01:57] Manager
    I can put the mask on and be the boss,
[01:59] Manager
    but nothing about me has really changed.
[02:01] Manager
    I'm as bad with people as I've ever been.
[02:12] Tabata
    The manager's kinda... y'know.
[02:15] David
    Kinda what?
[02:16] Tabata
    Creepy.
[02:17] David
    He creeps you out?
[02:19] Tabata
    In a good way.
[02:21] David
    You can be creeped out in a good way?
[02:26] Manager
    Tabata-san, you can go ahead
    and take your break.
[02:32] Manager
    What? What is it? What's so funny?
[02:35] Tabata
    You do that kinda thing too,
    boss? That's a surprise.
[02:41] David
    What a nice smile.
[02:43] Tabata
    You look better that way.
[02:46] Manager
    He really got me...
[02:48] David
    The manager's a nice guy.
[02:50] David
    It's just that nobody notices.
[02:53] Customer
    Excuse me, where is the looseleaf—
[02:59] David
    Nobody... notices.
