Yumei as a LI <3

A small in-game like drabble undercut!

You are on Cliff street. Several civic buildings are built here, including the town hall. The Ocean Breeze cafe looks out over the sea. A sign on the window reads: "Help Wanted." There's a path leading down to the beach. There's a lot of traffic. People are driving to work.

A lean woman is locked in the town pillory, she will be released in 23 hours.

☕ (8) Leave

You take a seat and order a cream bun, advertised on the menu as using "locally sourced milk." It soon arrives.

It's big, and bursting with cream. It's a struggle to eat without cream squeezing onto the plate at odd angles.

You don't succeed, but you don't mind. It's tasty, and leaves you feeling warm and contented.

(1) That's enough <<

(2) Lick the plate clean | - Stress

Time's are wasting, you stand to leave but a lean waiter slips you a plate of pastries and a tall glass of parfait. You wonder if there was mistake, you don't remember ordering this. There's a note attached to it.

💌 (1) Read the note | + love <<

(2) Leave.

The small letter is written in a pink sticky note. You recognize the handwriting despite how messy it is, you assume it's written in a haste. It reads:

"Hey милый!

I couldn't find the best way to hand this over to you in between tasks Sam hands me, so i had one of my coworkers to fetch it for me. You do not dislike sweet foods do you? If you are, i don't mind if you leave it.

You looked really tired so i decided to whip a parfait for you, hope it's to your liking!

Brush your teeth once you get home, and don't let the sugay treats destroy your teeth... Take care of yourself, kay? Remember to reward yourself with some rests once in a while.

Sincerely yours, Yumei ❤️"

You unconsciously smile as you fold the note, tucking it into your clothes. You dig in to the pastries, you feel your mouth melting from the sweetness | - - - Stress

You hold the tall glass of Parfait into your hands, it's cold to the touch. Your heart feels light as you devour the Parfait, each bite is savory and addicting. You don't notice that you have finished the dessert in one go. You feel the urge to water the sweetness down. | - - - Fatigue

(1) Leave your seat.

You spot Yumei taking a customers order before she notices you as well. The two of you lock gaze until you blow her a kiss of appreciation. She catches it and rests her hand over her heart. | + Love

Yumei is more likely to help a stressed and/or fatigued Player, preventing them from passing out or worse.
