A Sanctuary by the Sea
I recoiled as screams washed over me like I was at a pop concert. My plastic bottle slipped from my grasp as elegantly dressed women fluttered around what was supposed to be a plain convenience store. This unexpected scene marked the beginning of my strange relationship with the Tenderness convenience store in Mojiko. Women crowded around an impossibly attractive male clerk named Mr. Shiba, competing for his attention while the ordinary clerk Hirose rang up my purchase. The spectacle ended abruptly when a muscular old man in red overalls chased the women out, bellowing like a demon. As I fled the scene, I realized something unsettling-I was already planning my return. "Please come again!" Mr. Shiba had said with that enigmatic smile, and despite the chaos, I felt an inexplicable pull to return. The Tenderness store wasn't just a retail space but a magnetic center drawing people from all walks of life. Its location by the sea created a liminal space-neither fully part of the bustling world nor completely separate from it. Like the tide itself, people flowed in and out, each carrying their own stories, needs, and longings. What makes certain places special isn't their architecture or merchandise but the connections formed within their walls. This convenience store, with its fluorescent lights and refrigerated displays, had somehow become a sanctuary where lonely hearts found comfort, broken spirits found healing, and ordinary moments transformed into something extraordinary.
