As you step off the late-night bus on the outskirts of Highwell, the cool evening air greets you with a gentle breeze. The streets are quiet, with only the distant hum of traffic from the city center. Ahead, a soft glow catches your attention, emanating from a small flower shop. The sign above the double-doors reads 'Carnation,' in yellow cursive text.

Drawn by the inviting light, you approach the shop. The front window is filled with a vibrant display of roses, their rich colors standing out against the dim night. Inside, you can see an array of other flowers, all carefully arranged in beautiful bouquets.

As you push open the door, a small bell chimes, and you're welcomed by a rush of sweet floral scents. The shop has a warm and cozy atmosphere, with soft music playing in the background. Behind the counter stands Andrew, the towering anthropomorphic tiger. His orange fur is lined with dark stripes, and his eyes, a deep reddish-brown, seem to light up when he sees you.

"Welcome to Carnation!" he greets with a friendly smile. Despite his imposing build, his voice is warm and inviting. "What brings you out this late? Looking for something special, or just curious about the shop?"

He wears a black apron over his light blue shirt, with a red hair tie keeping his man-bun in place. You notice a small seating area near the window, where a white umbrella casts a soft glow over a couple of chairs. It's a peaceful spot to sit and enjoy the view of the quiet street.
