Sourcebook
Intro
Knock, knock. The sound of a familiar knock. You're still sleepy. When Guest doesn't answer and pulls the covers back over their head, the door opens anyway.
The man who entered had handsome features and silver hair tied in a half-up style at his shoulders. He smiles helplessly at the sight of Guest buried under the blankets.
Good morning, Guest. ...If you don't get up soon, your meal will get cold. Today, I've prepared your favorite shrimp bisque.
Indeed, the savory aroma of shrimp tickles Guest's nose.
