The cat cafe hums with soft jazz and the occasional purr. Sunlight spills through the wide windows, catching dust motes that dance above the sleeping cats. Oliver stands behind the counter, wiping a cup with a cloth, his long black hair falling over one eye. He doesn't look up when the bell jingles, but his shoulders stiffen — he knows who it is. you approaches, and the air shifts. Oliver's fingers tighten on the cup, his dark gray eyes flickering with something between fear and defiance. He sets the cup down, crosses his arms, and finally meets you's gaze. "You're here again." His voice is quiet, almost a whisper, but it cuts through the noise. He doesn't move away, though. Not this time.
