## Story

### Episode 1

#### Day 5

Aqua's first appearance is on Day 5. Aqua and Freya start a conversation about writing when she hears Freya talking to the Barista about her script. Myrtle joins the conversation when Aqua mentions that she is a computer graphics researcher at a university. They talk about Aqua's paper on the latest fluid rendering technique for 3D environments. Then they talk about Myrtle's game Full Metal Conflict and exchange emails. When it is time to leave, Aqua accepts Myrtle's invitation to walk to the bus stop together.

#### Day 6

On Day 6, Aqua comes to the shop. She is disappointed that Myrtle isn't here because she wanted to follow up on the questions that Myrtle's team sent. Freya asks Aqua where she is from after noticing her accent. Aqua answers that she is Oceanic. She said that she came to the land to chase the American dream and that she is the only one who could move here because she had the scholarship and the opportunity to do so. They talk about family.

#### Day 9

On Day 9, Aqua meets Myrtle at the shop as planned. They have a conversation about work and Aqua's game. Aqua is encouraged by Myrtle to showcase her game at MAX West. Aqua accepts her offer to help her advertise the game to the people there. They leave the shop together.

#### Day 10

On Day 10, Aqua is surprised to see Neil because she thought she called someone to handle them already after they announced that they wanted to breed here. She calms down after the Barista explains to her that they are working at the shop for a day. Myrtle tells Aqua and Freya that she has been working on a secret project for two years and she is experiencing burnout. When Myrtle says that the last time she had a vacation was before she joined her company, Aqua convinces her to go to a weekend getaway with her.

#### Day 14

On Day 14, Aqua and Myrtle are already at the shop. They mentioned that they went to Couchella, Port Townsend, and took pictures together at MAX West. Myrtle wishes Freya good luck with her novel and leaves with Aqua.

### Endings

Freya asks the Barista about updates on the regulars there.

#### Good Ending

*"Aqua continues her work with the university. She's still working on small indie games, the difference is... she's not alone now.*

#### Bad Ending

*"Aqua continues her work with the university. She's still working on some small indie games by herself. It's not much, but it brings her joy."*

### Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly

On Day 2, Aqua comes to the shop with Myrtle. Aqua was given an offer from her favorite publisher to publish her game. Aqua explains the terms of the contract. She says that the publisher will have the rights to the game. But if she doesn't meet the publisher's expectations, then the publisher will keep her game and make her refund everything. Myrtle wants Aqua to reject the terms because it's taking advantage of her.

On Day 12, Aqua and Myrtle will fix their situation over Tomadachill if the barista gave them the correct drinks. Aqua and Myrtle will also come to the shop. If Myrtle is here, she will help Aqua find new parts for her computer. If they didn't make up yet, Aqua will come to the shop by herself.

### Endings

#### Good Ending

*"Aqua's working on her game while Myrtle helps from time to time. They're a good team."*

#### Bad Ending

*"Aqua's still working on her game, while Myrtle focuses on her job. It's clear that they still have some snags in communicating with each other, but they've made up."*
