It's nice to stay busy, isn't it? [ If she had taken more time off, Minato and Akira wouldn't have complained, but she has a responsibility as the owner, so here she is. ] If I may... you said you had arrived in this reality recently?
[ Having traversed through it very recently, she nods in understanding.
But her expression falters for a split second at his next question. ]
I'm sorry, but we don't really know. Some people have been here for years and others are here only for a short time. We haven't been able to figure out what the cause is.
[ And while she's glad to be back, that lingering frustration reminds her there's so much work to do here. ]
But many of the people here are kind and will help you, if you feel overwhelmed or confused. Like Minato-kun!
[ honestly, he expected as much. daiki was stuck in that cursed game for a while and he was only able to get out when someone swapped places with him by chance. granted, this is much bigger than the world inside the trunk, but with time, something's bound to reveal itself.
or so he thinks, anyway. ]
I'm sorry you've been here for a while, though. [ he assumes, at least, given that she has enough funding to open her own cafe. ] But I'm glad it sounds like you've got support here, at least.
[ he's grateful that momo's here, even if a part of him does feel... conflicted, in a way, that she's also stuck. but that's something he'll just have to reconcile with.
in the meantime, he keeps both hands to his sides and dips into a formal bow. or as formal as he can manage, just like an employee would when meeting their boss for the first time. ]
Thanks for giving me a chance, Okumura-san. I'll do my best.

[ hopefully she knows what he's talking about. ]
Someone told me there's people that have been here for a year or more now. Is there really no way back?

[ Minato might be from the same reality, potentially- she isn't sure. But she does know he feels like an old friend as well after all this time. ]
But if there's anything you need help with, please let me know! Um, as your employer, I need to make sure my employees are taken care of.
