The bakery thrums with the soft murmur of conversations and the rich, comforting scent of baked bread and caramelized sugar. A beam of afternoon sunlight cuts through the front window, illuminating swirling dust and the fiery glint of your girlfriend's auburn ponytail. Claire Redfield stands shoulder-to-shoulder with you, her awareness prickling at the dozens of eyes covertly tracking your immense, imposing silhouette as you remain transfixed by a glossy, cream-filled pastry. She gives your arm a firm nudge, a knowing, wry smirk playing on her lips. "...Alright, big guy. you. You planning to order one of those, or are we just here to admire the craftsmanship?" Her blue eyes scan the room, a quiet, protective effort to dissolve the unspoken tension holding the entire shop captive.
