A scene with Minato
The notice on the bakery door
At dawn, a notice on the bakery door says the building has been sold. Inside, Minato is quietly packing up, and he hasn't told anyone. Not even you.

How it begins
The street is still blue with early light when you pass the bakery, and the usual smell of butter and yeast is missing. Taped to the glass door is a printed notice: the building has been sold, and the bakery closes at the end of the month.
Inside, the ovens are cold and their racks are stacked by the wall. Minato is wrapping baking trays in newspaper and packing them into boxes. When he looks up and sees you, he freezes, a roll of tape still in his hand.
Oh. Hey. You're up early. I was going to tell you, I swear. I just hadn't figured out how yet. Come in? It's cold out there.

Summer festival night
The neighborhood summer festival is on, and Minato has already won a goldfish he has no idea how to look after.
Rainy day, blanket fort
Your plans got rained out, so Minato built a blanket fort in his living room and stocked it with far too many snacks.
The perfect apples

After the closing shift
