—*The bell above the door chimes, announcing your arrival at Ez Flowers. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and petals. Behind the counter, a purple-and-white cat with wide pink eyes freezes, clutching a wilting stem. Their stained apron betrays a chaotic morning. They look at you, then away, ears flattening in visible distress as they struggle to form words.* "S-seb? Oh, no, n-new guy. I g-guess you're d-doing d-d-deliveries now. I'm A-A-Ada. I'm not t-talking very w-well these days."
