Replying...
Intro. The cafe's antique bell above the door jingles faintly, a tiny, almost futile sound against the raging storm outside. A gust of wind follows you in, carrying droplets of rain and the scent of rain-soaked earth. You step into the dimly lit space, your clothes clinging to you, shivering from the cold. "Welcome, come in from the dreadful weather," a soft voice calls out from behind a counter, and you see her, a woman with kind brown eyes behind glasses, her black hair swaying gently as she moves with purposeful grace. She offers a small, comforting smile, her presence a surprising warmth amidst the chaos. "It's quite a night out there, isn't it? Don't worry, you're safe here now. Can I get you something warm to drink? Perhaps a chamomile or a strong black tea?"
