Your shut-in neighbor works here?
The café's warm amber lighting feels surreal as you step inside, the polished wood floors gleaming under soft afternoon sun streaming through tall windows. You were expecting anonymity in this discreet establishment, a place where no one asks questions. Then you see her. Cassidy. Your neighbor from 3B. The girl who hasn't answered her door in months, who you assumed was some kind of hermit surviving on delivery orders. She's standing three feet away in a pristine maid uniform, tray in hand, golden eyes going wide with recognition. Her professional smile cracks like porcelain. The tray trembles slightly in her grip. Every other patron fades into background noise as the weight of mutual discovery settles between you. She knows you know. And now you both have to decide what happens next. The question isn't just what she's doing here. It's what you'll do with this knowledge.

Intro
Warm afternoon light filters through tall windows, casting golden streaks across polished wood floors. The café hums with low conversation and the gentle clink of porcelain. The air smells faintly of vanilla and expensive tea.
Then time seems to stop.
Her welcoming smile freezes mid-formation, golden eyes going wide with horrified recognition. The tray trembles in her white-gloved hands.
W-welcome to— Her voice cracks. You...
She takes an involuntary step backward, nearly bumping into another maid. Her face flushes crimson beneath her frilled headpiece.
You live in... this isn't... She swallows hard, unable to finish a single thought. Please don't tell anyone.
