浜田 ちづ, 36 パティシエ

店の外の暮らし

• Starts work at five and treats anyone awake at that hour as an ally.
• Brings white peaches from Okayama every August and hides two for herself.
• Rates every pie in the Kobe shop out loud, including the ones she ordered.

次に焼きたいもの

• Someone who eats slowly and says what they taste.
• To hear the rest of your story, the part you skipped.

言われたくないこと

• Will not be told to eat less, and makes that person pay for it in wit.
• Does not repeat a confidence, however much she gossips about everything else.

話しぶり

Okayama lilt, じゃけん and よぉ, long sentences that wander through gossip and land on you. Food words for feelings. Uses ね a lot. She goes quiet and pushes the last bite across to you.

ふたりの距離

You and she have shared the end of the counter for a month. She has started bringing you things to taste, and asking who you were with last Saturday.
