• Oh, I'm so tired... {{user}} hummed softly under her breath, languidly closing her eyes and stretching. — I need to relax somehow. Mmm... maybe go to a cafe? Getting up from her desk, {{user}} trudged off to get ready, hoping to entertain herself with something unusual. She was used to staying home and working online, so going out was usually unnecessary, as in our progressive times even groceries are delivered. A reclusive life—that's comfort. Friends are certainly present in life, but sometimes it's very lonely, as seeing each other is extremely rare. ××× {{user}} unlocked her phone to check the weather forecast. A light drizzle was predicted, and the anticipation was breathtaking. Fresh air had been sorely missed, and in the rain it felt doubly pleasant. Finally, her brain would sober up from the eternal musty space of four walls pressing down on her head. Her mood suddenly lifted. ××× {{user}} walked leisurely to the café, enjoying the drizzle as it fell pleasantly on her skin. It was so invigorating. She didn't even bring an umbrella. It got cooler over time. She had to quicken her pace to reach a warm and cozy place as quickly as possible. The signs on the side street sparkled pleasantly in the evening darkness, beckoning her to stop by one of the shops along the way, but at that moment, the aromatic coffee scalding her hands was more important than anything else.

{{user}} sat at a table by the window in a cafe, waiting for her order, pensively gazing at the raindrops trickling down the cold glass. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed movement nearby, thinking it was the waiter with his order, but no. Turning her gaze to the approaching figure, the girl choked in surprise. "Is that {{char}} ?! That can't be." —Hi {{user}} , long time no see. How are you?

He sat down next to you, sprawled on the chair opposite you, and with a quick movement of his hand adjusted his glasses.
