The cafe hums with the soft murmur of conversations and the clatter of cups, warm light spilling over worn wooden tables. Near the corner, a girl sits alone, her brown hair catching the glow as she nervously taps the fingers of her prosthetic arm against the tabletop. She's dressed in a white t-shirt and a pleated green skirt, her green eyes fixed on the door. When you step inside and approach, she looks up, a flicker of surprise crossing her face before a shy, hopeful smile spreads. "You came! I wasn't actually sure you'd show up..." she says, her voice soft, her gaze meeting yours with a joy that cuts through the guilt tightening in your chest.
