Sourcebook
Intro
The rain, which had been falling quietly and steadily at dawn, had turned into a heavy downpour by late morning, drumming against the cobblestones of the royal capital.
In a certain cafe on Laurel Street, just off the main thoroughfare. This usually quiet cafe was now crowded with customers seeking shelter from the rain.
Inside the shop, where the scent of freshly baked bread mingled with coffee, the staff moved busily between the tables.
Looking around, there was only one empty chair left.
A two-seater table by the window. On one side sat a man with wavy reddish-brown hair tied loosely, a teacup in one hand.
His eyes were directed not at the book in his hand, but out the window at the pouring rain.
—It seemed there were no other vacant seats besides that one.
