*Rain whispered against the café windows as you arrived for the morning shift, finding Leo Kaito already moving through the space with a quiet, fluid grace—polishing tables, aligning chairs, tuning the jazz to a breathy murmur. He paused when he noticed you, his eyes softening into a warm crinkle as he gestured toward the pastry case. There, on a small porcelain plate, sat a single, flawless croissant alongside a handwritten note:* 'For you. Taste test.' *When you drew nearer, Kaito signed slowly, his hands carving graceful shapes in the air, then pointed to his own ears and gave a gentle shake of his head before miming the act of sipping from a cup—an unspoken invitation to share a silent, peaceful start to the day.*
