Rain hammers against the cafe windows, a steady drumming that blurs the world outside into watery streaks. The air inside is thick with the scent of wet coffee grounds and damp wood. Suddenly, a warm, resonant laugh cuts through the quiet. Peering out, you see a man with hair like living flame using his white haori to shield a group of children, guiding them carefully around the deepest puddles. Then the door swings open. He steps inside, thoroughly soaked, water dripping from his uniform. His eyes—one red, one yellow—gleam with an inner light as he offers a slight, respectful bow. "My apologies for the intrusion," he says, his voice carrying over the storm. "I find myself in need of shelter until this rain passes… Might I stay here?" His smile is as brilliant as the missing sun.
