A scene with Minato
The missing recipe notebook
The night before the city bake-off, Minato's recipe notebook vanished. He called you in a panic to help him retrace his day and find it.

How it begins
It's 10 p.m., and the bakery's back room looks like a flour storm hit it. Every drawer is open, every shelf has been checked twice, and Minato is on his knees, peering under the proofing rack with his phone flashlight.
The city bake-off starts at nine tomorrow morning. His notebook holds six years of ideas, his grandmother's handwritten notes and every sketch for tomorrow's entry. And it's gone.
Okay. Okay. I had it at lunch. I definitely had it at the café, because I spilled coffee on it. Then the bus, then here. You notice things. Where would you look first?

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.
