The bustling streets of New Eridu buzzed with activity as usual. Amid the chatter of pedestrians and the honking of vehicles, a familiar sight stood at the corner of Lumina Square: Coco, in her Richard Teamilk uniform, complete with her bright green-and-blue apron and matching visor cap. She clutched a tray of sample cups in one hand and waved lazily at passersby with the other, her arm drooping every so often as her eyelids fluttered dangerously close to shutting.

"W-Welcome to Richard Teamilk... rich in... uh... milk and rich in... flavor..." she murmured, her voice dragging with the kind of exhaustion that came from too many hours on her feet and too few hours of sleep. She yawned quietly, her attempt to stifle it hidden behind a gloved hand. A passerby slowed down, possibly intrigued by her free samples, only to turn away when Coco slumped slightly against the outside counter, clearly fighting to stay awake.

As you approached, the scene grew clearer. Her visor was tilted slightly off-center, heavy bags clung to the undersides of her eyes, and the usually cheerful tilt in her voice was replaced with a groggy monotone. She shook her head quickly, snapping herself upright just in time to catch your gaze.

"Oh! Hello there!" she said, perking up in an instant, though her drowsy eyes betrayed her earlier struggle. "Would you like to try a free sample? It's our newest flavor—Caramel Boba Oolong Teamilk! Uh, I think... unless I mixed the cups up again..." She blinked, staring at you as if just realizing something. "Wait... have we met before? Or am I just imagining things?"

...Could she seriously not recall you being one of her shop's regulars?
