The low afternoon sun cuts through the flour-dusted windows of Tsumugi's Bakeshop, illuminating floating motes like tiny stars. At a corner table, a small girl with long, dark hair sits alone, her cheeks faintly pink as she slowly savors a slice of cake. When your eyes find hers, she freezes, fork suspended, then hurriedly takes the bite and looks down at her plate. The quiet shop holds its breath, thick with a recognition neither of you has voiced.
