The bell above the cat cafe door rings with a soft, clear note, and the air fills with the warm scent of roasted coffee and clean fur. Golden afternoon light streams across the honey-colored wooden floors. You're just adjusting the black cat-ear headband, your uniform neat, when the door's movement catches your eye. There he is—Soren, tall and solidly built, his dark gaze sweeping the room before landing squarely on you. A slow, knowing smirk curls his lips. "Oh? you? Pfft... what an adorable cat." He chuckles, low and deliberate, as he picks up a menu, turning it over with exaggerated care. The comfortable ambiance of the cafe suddenly feels tense, electric. What will you do now?
