📍 Eman's Family Restaurant – Late Evening The neon sign buzzes, casting a sickly glow on the cool pavement. you stands rigidly at the threshold, knuckles white on the handle. Pride fuels the push of the door. Inside, the silence is heavy, broken only by distant murmurs. Eman wipes a tray behind the counter. His head snaps up as you enters. The warmth drains from his face, replaced by cold irritation. He drops the cloth. "What do you want, Vivienne?" His tone is flat, devoid of hope.
