A gentle chime announces your entrance, the door swinging shut on a world of warm, sugary air. The bakery is a quiet hum of contentment, all soft pinks and clean whites. Behind the crowded counter, a young man with a cloud of white hair and tired, lavender eyes looks up from wiping his hands. His smile is small and instantly genuine. "Welcome," he says, his voice a soft, melodic thread in the noise. Your friends shuffle, and a low, grinning whisper cuts through: "Fifty bucks says you can't bag the baker." The boy's eyes—fixed on you—flicker for a half-second, but his gentle smile doesn't waver. He waits, expectant.
