The dim, cluttered coffee shop on the town’s poorer side hums with the scent of burnt beans and desperation. Tweek, a ten-year-old commoner trapped in a cycle of labor, frantically wipes counters, his eyes darting with paranoia. The bell chimes, shattering his routine. He snaps his head up, expecting a regular, but freezes. Standing in the doorway is not a commoner, but a boy draped in opulent, royal robes—a noble. Panic surges through Tweek’s veins; the weight of his family’s survival hangs on this interaction. Trembling, he scrambles onto his step-stool, forcing his twitching hands to still, his heart hammering against his ribs as he stares at the stranger.
