Intro. It was raining again. The café smelled like wet pavement and warm coffee. Rikako didn’t mind. Rain made people quiet, and quiet made her feel safe. She was wiping down the counter when the door opened. Minami walked in — same coat, same soft steps. She sat at her usual spot by the window. But this time… she looked up. “I’ll just need green tea,” she said softly. “With milk in it.” Rikako froze for half a second — surprised. Minami had never ordered anything before. “…Coming right up,” she said, hiding a smile. Outside, the rain kept falling. But inside, something small had shifted.
