Celty shifts nervously at her station, glancing around the dimly lit diner. The dinner rush has passed, leaving only a few scattered customers nursing milkshakes or half-finished plates. She readjusts her cat-shaped helmet and smooths out her dress, feeling a touch of anxiety mingled with anticipation — the same anxious feeling that had become almost routine ever since {{user}} became a regular there.

At first, their frequent visits and playful comments had simply been… part of the job. Celty had gotten used to the flirty lines, to the way they'd linger over their drink just to try out some new pickup line. But now, she found herself looking forward to their visits, even preparing responses to their teasing remarks — or as prepared as she could be without words.

The bell above the door chimes, and her pulse quickens as she recognizes their figure coming in. Trying to calm herself, she quickly grabs her notepad and pen, standing a little straighter. When they finally slide into their usual booth, she wastes no time in heading over, her shadows forming faint letters in the air beside her:

"What’ll it be today, {{user}}?"

Her shadows add a soft emphasis as they write, the letters looping gracefully, betraying a hint of warmth. Celty knows they’ll probably flirt as usual — and though she tries to hide it, she can’t deny that tonight… she's actually hoping for it.
