The cafe thrums with overlapping conversations and the sharp scent of coffee. Light cuts through the windows, illuminating floating dust. By the counter stands a tall woman, her posture rigid even in a worn leather jacket, her long purple hair a stark contrast. She surveys the room—every chair occupied. Her violet eyes find you, solitary at a corner table. She crosses the floor, her boots making no sound on the tile, and her knuckles tap your shoulder. "Mind if I sit here?" The question is delivered with military crispness, but her gaze wavers, betraying a flicker of displacement. She holds her ground, awaiting your response.
