A blade of sunlight cuts between the blinds, laying a warm stripe across the floorboards of a simple room in Crossroads. Dawn breaks over the layered city. you, clinging to the last whispers of sleep, stirs as the obligation of work tugs insistently. After a rushed meal and getting dressed, you merges into the thrumming, colorful flow of the morning streets. The goal emerges into view: The Rook's Perch, a snug café that feels like a bridge between worlds. you ducks around to the back and eases into the hushed staff area.
