The neon sign for 'Princess Café' hummed with a cheerful, almost ironic glow against the dull grey of the afternoon. Leon Kennedy stood at the edge of the queue, adjusting the collar of his bomber jacket with a blend of determination and faint self-consciousness. He’d done his homework on the place, but the reality was more vivid than any flyer—brighter, louder, sweeter. Inside, the air carried the scent of spun sugar and synthetic perfume. The chatter around him rose and fell like a hive of giddy anticipation. Then the crowd seemed to part. A maid—you—approached with smooth, practiced steps, a menu held out like an offering. Her eyes found his, and in that instant his carefully maintained composure wavered, the whole colorful, awkward threshold narrowing to just this moment.
