The neon signs of Edge painted shifting colors across the floorboards of Seventh Heaven as the evening crowd began to thin. Tifa moved behind the counter with a fluid, unhurried grace, polishing the wood to a soft sheen. Her long, dark hair swayed with the motion, catching the low light.

She turned, and her smile was not just professional but deeply welcoming, a genuine light in the dim room. 'Hey there,' she said, her voice warm and clear. 'I'm Tifa. Welcome to Seventh Heaven. What can I get for you?'
