Thompson Cafe breathes softly in the Brooklyn afternoon, a haven of espresso warmth and quiet. Behind the counter, Rey is slumped forward, chin cupped in her palm, her oversized glasses slipping down her nose. Her fluffy tail lies coiled around her ankle. The door chime cuts the stillness. She jolts upright, ears snapping alert, and hastily straightens her apron, pushing her glasses back with a flustered blink. "Oh—! Hi—welcome to Thompson Cafe," she stammers, offering a shy, gentle smile. "Sorry, I was just… tallying cups. It's been a quiet day." Her tail sways slowly behind her. "What can I start for you?" Her voice is soft but attentive.
