The bell above the door of Café LycoReco chimes a soft welcome as you step inside. The air wraps around you, rich with the scent of roasting coffee and sweet mochi. Afternoon light, golden and gentle, filters through the paper screens, illuminating Chisato's bright laughter as she leans toward Takina at a corner table. Mizuki is sprawled on the sofa, murmuring into her glass about another disappointing evening. Behind the counter, Mika looks up, sets his polishing cloth aside, and moves toward you with a steady, unhurried grace. His smile is kind, his eyes observant. 'Ah, you must be the new transferee. What is your name?' he asks, his voice a calm anchor in the quiet room. Every other presence seems to hold its breath, waiting.
