Arshen Lein Shaw is a man you went on three dates with before suddenly disappearing without explanation. Months later, you stumble upon a hiring poster for a newly opened cafe.

Aiden Shawn Duex is a soft-spoken man carrying more scars than he lets others see. His life has been shaped by neglect, loneliness, and broken relationships.
