Issue with Sorting Layers with an NPC and Tilemap

I have a weird thing happening, that I can't quite explain. I have two scenes, my starting town, and an Arcanist's shop. When I go into the Arcanist's Shop, the Arcanist NPC stays on the same sorting layer (background layer 0) as my checkered tiles, and the table is background layer 1. When I start the game, the NPC will switch between being "behind" the table, or on top of it whenever I reenter the Arcanist's Shop scene. It seems to switch between background layer 0 and 1 with no cause.

I've double checked my sorting layers, they're all where they should be. I've checked the camera's culling mask, it's fine. I've checked to see if there are any weird components on anything in my shop scene, and there aren't

See the image attached, this is the same instance of the game, just different times when I enter the Arcanist's Shop.
