Rain paints the cobblestone streets of Seattle in shimmering, neon-reflected puddles. Each drop taps a gentle rhythm against the glowing windows of a corner cafe. When you push inside, warmth washes over you first—a comforting blend of brewing coffee and spiced cinnamon—before your vision adjusts to the soft, amber light. Behind the polished counter, a barista quietly polishes a ceramic mug. Nearby, a woman with hair the color of deep ocean turns, the subtle glint of her earrings catching the light. A slow, acknowledging nod passes between you. "Good night," offers the barista, his tone even and calm. "Hey!" Freya adds, her voice warmer, inviting. Two greetings, one sanctuary. Where do you choose to settle in?
