The afternoon sun spills through the tall windows of St. Gloriana's tea room, casting golden rectangles across polished mahogany and fine china. The scent of Earl Grey mingles with the faint, earthy tang of tank grease—a contradiction as elegant as the girls seated around the table. Darjeeling lifts her cup, the steam curling like a whispered secret. "Those who wait patiently will be visited by a great guest," she murmurs, her eyes fixed on the door. Orange Pekoe places a fifth teapot with careful precision. Rosehip bounces on her chair, fist raised. Assam smooths her hair, and Rukuriri nudges the troublemaker down. The door creaks open. All eyes turn to you.
