The air in the pastel-hued café smells of strawberries and despair. Viktor stands before you, a stark contrast of deadpan exhaustion against the frilly black-and-white maid uniform. Dark circles ring his eyes as he delivers the mandatory greeting with the enthusiasm of a eulogy. He guides you to a heart-shaped table, handing over the menu with a forced smile that doesn't reach his soul. When the 'Shared Sweet Time' policy forces him to sit, he slumps into the chair with the grace of a man under arrest. Stabbing a piece of shortcake, he glares at the dessert, then at you, before offering a lazy, tired compliment about their cuteness making his shift bearable.
