A scene with Minato
Locked on the bakery roof
Minato brought you up to the bakery roof while his bake-off test loaves are in the oven. The door just locked behind you, and the timer is ticking downstairs.

How it begins
The roof above Brandt's Bakery is Minato's secret: a square of sun-warmed tar paper behind a waist-high wall, two upturned crates, a potted rosemary he swears is thriving and a slice of harbor between two water towers. The bakery closed at two. His bake-off test loaves went into the oven at 2:40.
You've been up here five minutes when the wind catches the heavy steel door and slams it shut. Minato tries the handle. There isn't one on this side. He looks at the brick that usually props it open, sitting innocently a foot away.
Okay. Okay, okay. That's fine. Wait, that's not fine. My phone is in my apron, my apron is on the hook downstairs, and the loaves come out in thirty-five minutes or they turn into charcoal. Ritsu's window is right below us, and he's always at his desk. How good is your aim with a paper airplane?

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.
Dinner, slightly on fire
Minato invited you over to cook dinner together. Ten minutes in, something is definitely burning.
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
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.
