Aww, isn’t H.R. so sweet? I love the new names. Way better than the stupid drink-motif and certainly fresher than the old addends. And—despite his protests—I think the Manager will get into the swing of things soon enough. I mean, if he really didn’t want to be serving coffee, he wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble of changing the way the dates show up in the header. I hate it. I really do. But I’ll get used to it if it makes his lovely little European brain happy.
Running a Cafe isn’t all cute nicknames and formatting, though. Well—It’s probably a larger part than it should be. Regardless, the primary purpose of running a Cafe is to serve customers. More than that, there’s usually one or two really big and bad customers we have to keep an eye on—and for us, it’s Umbra. An old and gross customer from the First Cafe. He was one of Padre’s “Dark Triad” and probably the most dangerous out of them, too.
After the First Cafe burned down and Padre was put in bad wittle preisty jail, his main minions, Umbra, Aka, and Pleasant, more or less went into hiding. Well, I guess I don’t know if they were intentionally hiding or just laying low. As far as I know, Pleasant went off to keep order in Padre’s part of Canada. And Umbra and Aka went back to looking for their book. This is where things get… messy and a bit strange. Somewhere along their book hunt, Umbra and Aka took control of a girl and groomed her into just about killing Levi and splitting open the Black Tide. Thankfully, there was a new Cafe and Diner who managed to stop him—mm… except they didn’t.
They did stop that girl from killing Levi, but I don’t think they ever pieced together who was pulling the strings. We only know because it went down in our backyard. Of course, we did what we could to help without getting too involved. But… stopping one of Umbra’s pawns isn’t going to deter him for long. Not when he’s making Prince-killing moves. He must know where the book he’s been looking for is and will do whatever it takes to get it. Worse, he specifically mentioned something along the lines of “welcoming the Dark.” I’m not sure what that is, but knowing Umbra, whatever it is, isn’t good.
