* CelebrityIsOverrated: Much like in canon, Pyrrha hates her fame, except in this story she doesn't have a partner that doesn't know who she is. When they start planning to help Jaune's diner, Pyrrha explains to her partner Russel that not only can she not curse, drink, or lose her temper without being in breach of contract with her sponsors (and risk being sued), one of her previous agents was accused of being a pedophile because she hugged him after a match.

* RealityEnsues:
** Yang accidentally dislocates Jaune's arm as she's only ever had Huntsman friends and forgot how fragile civilians were.
** Despite being high level criminals and terrorists, Roman and Cinder are far less antagonistic to Jaune than the district manager for a competitor cafe chain. To them Jaune is simply a humble cafe owner and thus not a threat to their plans.
** When Jaune finds his cafe being robbed, his attackers badly beat him with Jaune unable to get in a single blow in return. Despite his shame afterwards, Militia explains that he was alone, untrained, and unarmed against four armed attackers; the best he could hope for was to live through a beating. At worst, he'd have been killed.
** The district manager of Cafe Prime comes to Jaune with a contract regarding the upcoming Vytal Festival but it's filled with legal terms Jaune has trouble understanding. Naturally he goes to Weiss, who's been acting as his business consultant, right? Nope; Jaune instead makes an appointment with a lawyer specializing in business law to go over the contract and make any necessary revisions.
Added DiffLines:
* TechnicianVsPerformer: The conflict between Cafe Prime and Jaune's boils down to accuracy vs passion. Cafe Prime is a massive coffeehouse chain with fifteen locations in Vale alone but they're heavily focused on "efficiency" which means their tables are suffocatingly close together, their customer service service feels fake, and their coffee is cheap but acceptable. Jaune's is a mom and pop store owned by Jaune Arc which, while more expensive, has par excellence customer service with friendly staff, a wide variety of coffee considered the best in the city, and a friendly and inviting atmosphere. It also shows in how they try to compete with one another: Cafe Prime will offer free coffee or hire expensive celebrities to host shows at their locations while Jaune's will use costumes and decorations to make themed weekends like dressing up as pirates.

* BigBadFriend: While not a friend per-say, Cinder is something of a friendly associate of Jaune's and likes him enough to not only unlock his aura, but seems legitimately angry someone attacked him.

** Miltia is the straighter example of the two and is the one legitimately interested. She's far more Tsun then Dere though.

* BadassCreed: Just as in author's other stories, unlocking somebody's aura comes with an unique chant, this time from Cinder. Surprisingly, it doesn't sound evil, just more cynical and, well, hardcore than the one Pyrrha gives.

When Jaune's forged transcripts were rebuffed, his only option was to return home in disgrace or forge a new life in Vale. Opening a diner was an impetuous decision, being good at it a stroke of luck. Becoming the favourite haunt for students, teachers and criminals alike…? That was neither, but it sure did keep things interesting. Wasn't the civilian life supposed to be easier?
