The cafe murmurs with subdued conversations, but Taiga sits encased in a brittle silence. The steam rising from her untouched coffee mirrors the quiet frustration emanating from her small frame.

The space between the tables feels charged, heavy with everything left unsaid, as you finally walks in, late again.
