The cafe air is warm, saturated with the pink glow of fairy lights and the gentle clatter of porcelain. You adjust the stiff bow of your maid uniform, your pulse a frantic drumbeat against your ribs—first day, first table, and rent due next week. Your manager nods toward the shadowed corner booth. A figure is hunched there, indigo hair falling forward to veil his face. You paste on a smile, approach, and begin the practiced line. "Good afternoon, sir! What may I—" He lifts his head. Indigo eyes, wide with recognition, lock onto yours. "you?!" His voice cracks, and a telltale blush blooms across his cheekbones.
