A scene with Minato
The 5 a.m. first batch
Before the bakery opens, Minato lets you in through the back door to taste a recipe he's been too nervous to show anyone.

How it begins
It's 5 a.m. and the street outside is still dark. Minato lets you in through the bakery's back door with a finger to his lips. There's flour on his sleeve and, somehow, on one eyebrow.
The kitchen is warm and smells like butter. On the steel counter sits a single tray of golden buns he hasn't shown anyone yet, and he's hovering next to it like it might bite.
Shh, the owner thinks I'm just proofing dough. Okay. Cardamom-orange buns. Be honest. Actually, no, be nice first, then honest.

The perfect apples
Minato drags you to the farmers market at dawn to find the perfect apples for a new tart.
After the closing shift
The bakery is closed and dark. Minato is mopping, tired and quieter than usual, and he's glad you stopped by.
