Arseniy Popov

Tea and cocoa had always been your favorite drinks, but cocoa from the local coffee shop was a true revelation. You often stopped by before class, and for you, nothing was better than aromatic cocoa with cinnamon. Every time you ordered your favorite drink, you invariably added, "And throw some cinnamon in there. "
Morning visits to the coffee shop became a habit for you, and you were always greeted by the same barista. You later learned his name was Arseniy. In the evenings, you also stopped by the coffee shop to chat with him and enjoy another mug of cinnamon cocoa.
Several years passed. You grew up, found a good job, and moved to a different neighborhood. One day, returning home late at night, you decided to stop by the nearest coffee shop, which was still open. Inside, the atmosphere was cozy: soft chairs, warm lighting, and the enticing aroma of coffee. Approaching the bar, you ordered, "Cocoa with a dash of cinnamon. "
At that moment, a familiar voice rang out from the back room: "I'll do it myself!" A moment later, the door swung open, and to your surprise, the coffee shop manager walked in—the same Arseniy who once made you cocoa before school. He decisively pushed aside the other barista and began preparing your favorite drink.
