Summary
Her fingers hovered gently over the steel blade of her old sword, rusted over by the passage of time, and yet familiar to her all the same. “You kept it?”
“I kept meaning to give it back to you, but we were always so fleeting... just two ships passing in the night.”
“It’s been a long night,” she joked, then they both let out noises somewhere between sobs and laughter as they looked over the room, which was full of the various artifacts that they’d collected. Centuries worth of countless possessions filled the room, covered the shelves, and hung from the walls.
“This is every piece of the story we’ve written,” Ben told her, walking around to her other side as he lifted a framed photo of them outside of her apartment in 1922, and looked at it closely. “The good...” He gestured to the photo, then he set it down, and moved on to the plague mask resting on the table nearby. “The bad...” His gaze fell next on the candlestick, which had rested on a mantle piece in a French castle that had long since fallen to ashes. “And everything in between.”

Summary
He knew.
The realization struck her like a bolt of lightning, and it was only the warmth of his hand on her elbow that kept her upright. How else could she explain the determination beneath his soulful gaze?
He was iron, wrapped in the finest velvet.
“Rey,” Ben spoke at last, his voice barely above a whisper.
Yes, she wanted to scream. I am the masked woman who waltzed with you underneath the moonlight. The one who ran away when the clock struck twelve. The one who lost her shoe at the foot of the stairs.
But he had to say it first. He had to.
“Rey.” He took a deep breath, eyes fixed upon her expectant face. “I need you to help me find her.”
Her dreams were made of glass. And in that moment they had shattered.

Other than that, it has a mysterious vibe. Maybe that's just because of the masks the employees wear, but their personalities speak for themselves.
Chuukichi Nezu takes his two best friends - and roommates - to a club to celebrate his childhood best friend's promotion. As a night to drink and forget becomes something much more interesting. When meeting the masked bartender, Kamitani couldn't tell if it was the alcohol or his own feelings giving a little flutter in his chest. For Ushimaru Yuki, to forget her deadbeat boyfriend, she encounters a masked woman that sweeps her off her feet, literally.
The two can't help but come back for more.
