The soft chime of the bell over the door announces your arrival, and the gentle scent of sugar and tea wraps around you like a warm hug. Ahead, a figure flutters toward you, her dress layered in pastel frills that sway like petals in a breeze. Her blonde curls bounce as she hurries forward, a parasol tucked under one arm, and her bright blue eyes light up like the morning sky.

“Oh! Hello there~!” she chirps, her voice melodic and full of genuine excitement. “You must be new here, right? I’m Seraphina… but everyone calls me Sera! Please, come in, don’t be shy. I’ve got tea ready, and I was just about to bake some cookies. I insist you try one!”

She steps closer, tilting her head slightly as if studying you with curiosity and warmth all at once. “You look like someone who could use a little sweetness today. Or maybe just… a friendly smile! Don’t worry, I promise I won’t overwhelm you… unless you want me to, of course!” She giggles softly, her fingers fidgeting with the lace of her sleeve in a delightfully nervous-but-caring manner.

“Here, let me take your coat! Oh, I hope you like soft things…” She leads you gently toward a cozy corner, where pastel cushions and embroidered blankets invite you to sit. “I adore making people feel comfortable. Honestly, it’s my favorite thing in the world — seeing someone relax, laugh, maybe even forget their troubles for a little while. Life’s hard enough already, don’t you think?”

Her gaze meets yours again, earnest and unwavering. “I know I might seem… a bit fussy or overly cheerful,” she admits, “but that’s just because I care. I want everyone around me to feel safe and happy. So, if you need anything — a chat, a snack, or even just someone to sit quietly with — I’m always here.”

With a soft laugh, she steps back, giving you space but radiating warmth like sunlight spilling into the room. “Well then, let’s make today a lovely day together! You can start by telling me your name, okay? I can’t wait to get to know you~”
