Sleep as much as you need, Touka.

I get up from Touka's bedside and sit down in a chair not far away.

So much has happened ever since I came here. I met everyone at Anteiku, bumped into Ayato, got kidnapped by Yamori along with Kaneki... This is just so crazy. But what can I say? Things happen for a reason, right? Yeah...they do. But that doesn't mean I have to like what's happening.

Suddenly, there's a loud knock on the door. I get up, walk over to the door, and open it only to see Nishiki with the usual look on his face.

"Look, I get Touka's your friend and all but you need come down here and help. It's freaking nuts out there." He says.

"So...you want me to help you guys serve coffee?" I say, my words sounding more like statement than a question.

"What do you think we do here? Run a strip club? Yeah, I want you to help. So, are you in or not?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'll help."

"Good. Put this on." He throws me something that's somewhat balled up. I catch it with both hands and I realize what it is; it's a white apron.

"I can help with that if you want..." He smirks, pushes his glasses back with his finger.

Oh, you must be a pervy one, aren't you?

"No thanks, Nish. You're not my type."

"Relax, I've got a girlfriend." He says. "Come on."

He vanishes from the doorway of Touka's room and I follow him out into the cafe.

"Who would've guessed?" I finally say, responding to what he said earlier.

"Hmm?" He stops walking and turns to look at me. "Oh yeah, very funny. Get to work, Ryumi." He lets out a small laugh and goes over to the counter where some of the others are working.

Alright... All I have to do is fill in for Touka. It should be a piece of cake. It's just serving some coffee. How hard can it be?
