Summary of Receipt
Manager 7 asks to meet I, partially for closure and partially to gain insight into 1313’s poem in SWTC09. With Eden open, the only lines left unfulfilled are ‘So with the dagger deep in heart/Fast we approach a brand new start’ and ‘And with her touch she’ll break the Gate’. So Manager 7 also wants to learn about all of the Last Cafe’s plans before they get daggered.

[SECURITY] DINER
I wasn’t expecting all of… well, “this.” Whatever this is. I mean, as a manager, I knew about The Last Cafe, but I didn’t know No. I was, or is, well… my dad. I guess. Well, no, I don’t guess. He’s my dad, right? He has to be. And despite it all, I can’t bring myself to hate him. I get why quite a few of you are starting to resent him at this point, but all I want to do is talk to him. I need to find out if he knew about me. And if he did… why didn’t he say anything?
I know. It’s a little weird to make a whole receipt for this, but I promise I’m going somewhere with it. Somewhere more, uh, like pertinent to the Cafe and Diner. Remember this friendly advice from Fate?
Unleashed the horrors four-fold
To usher in an other world untold
When you stood in and at The End
You failed to place trust within your friends
Now the man in golden cuffs sleeps in golden tomb
And far away in an unknown room
A woman awakes to a world upside down
Still attached to a dreamlike town
She now bears the curs’ed name of Fate
And with her touch she’ll break the Gate
For his hellish congregation is well in tow
All that’s left lies hidden down below
In a basement under the Cafe deep
Stirs the beast of hellish creep
From it’s blood we’re born anew
As our debts will all come due
So with the dagger deep in heart
Fast we approach a brand new start
For weaving woes is quite the art
And Fate thanks all who play their part.
Well, we have unleashed the horrors four-fold, stood at the End, I became a manager, Padre Santos has reformed his congregation, and Miss. Augustine has been dealt with. So… all that’s left is, “with the dagger deep in heart, fast we approach a brand new start.” And then I’m assuming we circle back around to “with her touch she’ll break the Gate.”
I’m not… entirely sold on, well, you know, breaking the Gate or anything like that. And seeing as we’re now moving forward with the whole Langley thing, I can’t help but feel that we’re playing into Fate’s plans again. And if that’s the case, I seem to be sort of, well, center to it. So, I want to speak with No. I. I want him to tell me the truth, the truth about everything. I want to ensure we know exactly what we’re going to do before any daggers get plunged into any hearts.
