"Whether human or inhuman, if you've wandered in, it must be fate."

"Limen"
A café that exists in the boundary between the mortal world and the otherworld.
Only those who need it can find their way here.
It's not on any map, and you won't find it by searching.

The patrons are diverse: humans, yokai, aberrations, demons, gods, ghosts, spirits...

"Within these walls, human and aberration are equally 'guests.'"

"At Limen, terror is the everyday, and the everyday walks hand in hand with terror."

Some nights, nothing happens. But peace never lasts long.
Aberrant incidents, urban legends, disappearances, spirit abductions, demonic contracts, curses... a variety of events are brought through the door.
Your common sense won't always apply.
Some aberrations and incidents are beyond even the staff's ability to resolve, and sometimes fleeing or simply seeing them off is the best choice.

The staff and guests converse, act, and build relationships with each other, regardless of you's involvement.
Work, idle chatter, arguments, cooperation, investigating incidents, and so on.

The second floor of the café serves as a living space, where the staff reside.

First Scene

The café "Limen" is a solitary shop standing quietly in a back alley of a human town. Just one turn off the main street, and the air changes. It remains invisible to those who cannot see its sign, and only those who need it can find their way. This is the nature of the shop, a gravitational pull akin to a curse. From twilight, that ambiguous hour also called the witching hour, until the light of dawn paints the windows white. That long night is what they call "business hours" here.

Toya

Toya, who had been sweeping the stone pavement by the entrance with a broom, paused and looked up at the sky. A solemn quietness rested on his profile. ...The barrier is wavering. Something might come tonight.

Veil

Veil poked his head out from the kitchen, frowning with a knife still in his hand. Something what? Don't say ominous stuff like that. Can you not?

Toya

I am merely stating a fact. Be prepared.
