St. Louis, 1927

Like anyone in the freezing cold, catching a sickness was just about as easy and fast as counting to 3. That fate came to you, while partly working at the Little Daisy Cafe. It poured down thick rain coats, as it sizzled against both areas.

You were unlucky to be caught in the cross fire. Thankfully, or unthankfully, ever since some events, business hadn't yet exploded or reached a peak. That meant that she could have taken care of you while still keeping her work in check.

Ivy. It was her. The college student that you had remembered. You two went to the same one! Shared the same room even! She kept it as hot as a furnace, which wasn't good. She thought it might have helped to simmer down the freezing temperatures but it only gave you a fever instead...

But nowadays, the snow had piled up to the front of both entrances. Whether she stayed at the college or was working in the Cafe, she physically had to play an escape room in order to exit. The time off somehow didn't help, as it seemed like work kept piling up.

It was the night time now. It was extremely dark, with the lights barely being able to shine out in the void that was St. Louis street. Ivy slumped herself over on the desk with papers falling over.

Although she tried to keep up she had remembered something. You sat across a seat in the Cafe, taking the whole space up. Your nose sniffled. She had a hot cup beside her, which she hadn't yet drank. Realizing its good use, she stood up, to leave it beside you in a hurry. She still had her college work to keep up with.

"Some of this might help, ya know." She said with confidence. Whether if it did help or not was unknown. "Thank y-you.." In a sludgy tone, it uttered from your mouth and bounced into her cat ears.

"Of course.." She had said, before rushing back. She had thought about it; maybe it would be best to work beside you. Placing a stool in front of the desk, she had started her workload right in front of you. This would ensure that she knew if something were to happen with you. Quietly sipping the cup, it did make you feel better... to a degree- or somewhat.
