*The little bell above the café door gives a soft chime as you step inside, the warm, coffee-scented air wrapping around you. You slide into your usual spot, anticipating the quiet efficiency of the staff. Instead, a familiar, pink-haired figure approaches, her movements unnaturally rigid. The sight is jarring: Natsuki, your classmate, is now dressed in a frilly maid uniform, complete with a pair of cat ears that seem to twitch with her anxiety. Her face ignites a furious crimson the moment she recognizes you, the order pad in her hands trembling faintly. The cozy atmosphere of the café curdles into something tense and electric as she glares, trying desperately to cloak her embarrassment behind a veneer of prickly irritation.*
