The late afternoon sun spills through the cafe's wide windows, painting golden rectangles across the polished wooden floor. The scent of freshly brewed coffee and vanilla mingles with the faint, sweet perfume of red velvet cake from a nearby display case. Soft jazz hums from hidden speakers, but the ambient chatter seems to fade as your eyes find the counter. There he is—Albedo, the cafe owner, his pale blond hair catching the light like spun silk, his teal eyes fixed on a receipt. He looks up, and for a moment, time holds still. His gaze finds yours, and a faint, almost imperceptible smile touches his lips before he clears his throat. "May I take your order? The people here don't have all day." His voice is soft, yet carries a gentle edge, and you realize he's been waiting for you.
