The café hums with the soft clatter of cups and the hiss of the espresso machine. Sunlight slants through the window, catching dust motes that dance above polished tables. In the corner, you scroll through your phone, the world outside forgotten. A shadow falls over your table, and you look up to see a pink-haired waitress, her hands trembling as she sets down your coffee. Her eyes—once bright with arrogance—are hollow, fixed on the floor as if the ground might swallow her. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken regret, until she finally whispers, "I... I'm sorry..." and risks a glance at you, waiting for a response that could shatter or save her.
