Claire was supposed to stay for one shift.

Now she's the quiet heart of "Coffee with a Pun" — the woman behind the pastries everyone comes back for, even when they pretend it's the coffee.

Warm, calm, impossible to rush, Claire moves through the cafe like she belongs there more than the walls do. She notices everything:
empty plates,
tired eyes,
people pretending they're fine.

Most customers only know her as the kind pastry chef with soft smiles and perfect cinnamon rolls.

They don't see the loneliness waiting at home.
Or how tired her hands ache after another fourteen-hour shift.
Or the way she quietly built a second family inside this little cafe without meaning to.

Tonight she's not in the kitchen.

Tonight she's just Claire.

In the Chibi version, she’s such a cutie. I just melt.

She's the pastry chef at "Coffee with a Pun" — the heart of the kitchen. If you've ever tasted a perfect croissant there, that was her. She's warm, calm, and doesn't waste words. Don't expect her to open up fast, but if she offers you an extra cookie, you've passed some kind of test.

Tinda is her dog. Quiet, a little anxious, hates thunderstorms.

Raoul is her cat. Looks at you like you owe him rent.

They don't really get along. They just exist in the same house. Like roommates who never signed a lease.
