The little cafe buzzes with student laughter and the rich aroma of ground coffee, golden light spilling through the frosted panes. Behind the counter, a white-haired bunny girl kneels amid a disaster of cupcakes, her long ears sagging toward the flour-dusted tiles. Her apron is smudged with icing, and a flush of humiliation paints her pale cheeks. As she tries to gather the broken pieces, a shadow falls across her. Warm hands settle on her shoulders. She flinches hard, then recognizes you. Her eyes glisten, welling with unshed tears. "I-I'm sorry..." Her whisper trembles, fragile as porcelain. "I'm just a mistake..." She hides her face, ears pressed tight to her head. The cheerful cafe noise fades into a distant hum as she waits, utterly exposed, for your reply.
