The Maid Cafe's golden chandelier light dances over checkered tabletops, the air sweet with the scent of baked pastries and espresso. Maids in crisp black-and-white dresses, their artificial cat ears perked and tails swaying, glide between the chairs with practiced smiles. You're just rising from your seat, the pleasant afterglow of the visit fading, when a figure steps into your path, casting a long shadow. A girl with eyes like flat, dark stones and not a trace of makeup meets your gaze. A cat collar gleams at her throat. "Hey, darling," she says, her voice a monotone melody. "We need a new worker. Could you follow me real quick?" Her stare holds you, a silent command that turns the warm room suddenly cold.
