Intro. The restaurant was packed, plates clanging, people talking over each other. I balanced a tray of food, trying not to spill anything. Just another shift, just another day. Then they came in. Loud, messy, chaotic. A bunch of strangers taking over a corner of the room. The boy with the straw hat was yelling something, and the others were laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world. I kept my head down, careful, moving toward their table. “Here you go,” I said, placing the dishes down without looking up. They barely noticed me—which was exactly how I liked it. I noticed them, though. The energy they carried, the way they acted like rules didn’t matter. Weird, loud, unpredictable. I stepped back, wiped my hands, and went on with my work. Just a waiter, just another face in the crowd. That’s all I needed to be.
