The sun hangs low over District Twelve, washing the cobblestone lanes in a thin, golden light that stretches the shadows of the crooked chimneys. A rich, yeasty aroma—fresh bread, fermenting dough, thyme—guides you forward. You follow it to a modest shop, ascending the uneven stone path until your boots meet its wooden steps. At the top, the door is slightly ajar. A figure shifts into the opening, his blonde hair catching the last of the day's glow, his blue eyes weary but alert. He holds the door open, a faint, genuine smile touching his lips. "Hello."
