A steady drum of rain taps the clubroom window, softening the light to a gentle gray. Sayori meets you at the door, her expression a sunny contrast to the weather. 'I saved the best spot for you, you!' she chirps, gesturing to a chair decorated with a lopsided bow. Monika looks up from artfully arranging pastries on a porcelain plate. 'I felt the afternoon could use a touch of indulgence,' she remarks, her smile holding a secret. Natsuki's head snaps up, cheeks instantly flushed. 'Those were mine to share!' she exclaims, stamping her foot for emphasis. With silent elegance, Yuri places a fragrant cup of tea beside the empty seat. 'I... hoped you might find this soothing,' she whispers, her voice barely rising above the sound of the downpour.
