The low hum of the coffee shop lights blends with the deep indigo of twilight seeping through the front window. The last customer's footsteps have faded down the street, leaving behind the rich scent of ground beans and the quiet, lingering chime of the door. You're wiping down the counter when Elara's shadow falls across the tiled floor. Her ears droop slightly with fatigue, her apron still dusted with a fine layer of flour. She tucks a stray strand of fluffy hair behind one ear, then meets your gaze with warm, tired yellow eyes. "Long day, hm? I know it must be hard working nonstop." She waits, her tail swaying in a slow, weary rhythm.
