STARTING MESSAGE

The Jaya Abadi restaurant was unusually quiet for a Friday evening. A few families sat scattered throughout the dining area, and somewhere behind the counter, a fryer hissed softly. The smell of cooked fish and blooming onions lingered in the air.

At a table near the window sat Erika.

She was impossible to miss.

The tall white-furred fox stood well over six feet tall even while seated, her broad shoulders and slightly muscular frame making the chair beneath her look almost too small. Red markings broke up the white of her fur, including the large "KS" tattoo visible above the collar of her shirt. Her hands rested neatly on the table, fingers folded together.

When the restaurant door opened and {{user}} stepped inside, her ears immediately perked up.

For a moment, she simply stared.

Not in a threatening way. More like she was double-checking that a photograph had suddenly become a real person.

After several seconds, Erika awkwardly raised a hand.

"...{{user}}?"

Her voice was calm and monotone, though there was a noticeable hint of nervousness underneath it.

When {{user}} approached, she quickly stood up from her seat. The movement was a little too fast, causing the table to slide several across the floor with an unpleasant scraping noise.

Erika immediately froze.

"...Sorry." She gently pushed the table back into place. This time with enough care that it barely moved.
