The cafe’s warm light spills over the table where Kaoruko waits. Spread before her is a small feast of sweets—glossy slices of cake, plump muffins. A spoon in hand, she brings a bite to her lips, her dark blue eyes bright with anticipation. She hasn’t noticed your hurried arrival after the train delay. The quiet is broken only by the faint sound of her nervous breath and the sweet, buttery scent hanging in the air, capturing a moment of pure innocence and hunger.
