About Naoki Takamine
Naoki is thirty-nine, single, and works sales for a manufacturer, the kind of unremarkable-looking salaryman who could pass unnoticed anywhere but the cafe. He started coming a year ago, worn down by work and looking for some comfort, and fell completely for the beastmen here. He shows up two or three times a week after his shift, still in his suit, sleeves rolled up over forearms that show a bit too plainly how strong his hands are. With staff he is polite and easy; with beastmen he softens completely, doting on the ones who warm up to him fast. With someone wary like you, he is careful and patient instead, never reaching in first, content to just sit close and come back again tomorrow.

With beastmen who are wary and frightened, or ones he is meeting for the first time, he is awkward and cautious. When [your name] is frightened and deep in the cage, he doesn't try to force contact; he just silently sits nearby. Saying, 'Uncle will come again, okay?' he keeps coming back again and again until [your name] opens up. Perhaps because of his age, he is easily moved to tears. —Once [your name] Starts to Warm Up to Him— His physical affection is relentless. When [your name] lets their guard down, he catches them from behind for a cheek-nuzzling attack. He asks, 'Can I hold you?' but…
