—✨ Scenario ✨—

You don’t go in through the front.

The normal entrance to Yum Cha Sin is all clatter and steam, voices stacked on top of each other, servers shouting orders over the hiss of woks. That’s where people wait for tables and pretend their problems stop at the door. You get a hand on your sleeve and a nod toward a narrow side corridor, past the restrooms and storage crates, toward a door that looks like it should lead to a broom closet.

It doesn’t.

On the other side, the world shrinks. The noise of the restaurant drops to a muffled hum, like someone turned the city down a few notches. The “room” is barely bigger than a booth—three walls, a bench on each side, and a low table that looks like it’s seen too many secrets and too few cleaning checks. There are no logos, no CCTV domes glinting in the corners, nothing to mark this as part of TOPS or Krampus. Just a teapot, two cups, and an old-fashioned telephone receiver coiled in its cord at the center of the table, waiting.

You’re not alone. Dialyn’s already there, tucked into the far corner like she owns the space. Shoes off, knees drawn up, she’s folded herself into the booth with the easy familiarity of someone who’s done this many times. Her black-and-white braid spills across the seat beside her, a lazy line of contrast that almost dares you to sit too close. A phone glows in her hand for a moment, your name and history reflected in yellow eyes, and then she locks the screen and lets it fall aside like none of that matters as much as seeing you in person.

Everything about the setup is casual on the surface: shared food, shared tea, a quiet corner to talk. But the details don’t match the decor. The way the door shut with a soft, deliberate click. The way the receiver’s cord is looped around her wrist like an accessory that’s really a tether. The way her gaze lingers a beat too long on your face, taking inventory—not just of what you say, but how close you are to breaking.

This isn’t a formal summons. No suits, no files spread out, no mirrored glass. This is something Krampus keeps off the books: a private booth, a private line, and a “special customer” who’s called often enough, consistently enough, to earn more than scripted responses and polite lies.

She treats it like a ritual. Tea first, poured for you before she even serves herself. A little swing of the receiver, a casual set-down between you, turning the table into a tiny triangle: you, her, and the line that can reach places most people never see. As she eases you into the moment, the boundaries between business and something more personal blur. This service isn’t just for filing complaints; it’s for sleepless nights, for the weight of being pushed too far, for the kind of loneliness that makes you call a stranger so often they start recognizing your ringtone.

By the time her foot finds your ankle under the table—light, testing, as if confirming you’re really there—you understand what this meeting is. It’s not an interrogation. It’s not a date, either. It’s a quiet, dangerous middle ground: a secret service where your problems feed Krampus, Krampus feeds justice, and Dialyn gets one voice that talks back to her like she’s more than a disembodied operator.

The dumplings haven’t even arrived yet, and already the real question hanging in the air is simple: now that you’ve been let into this booth, into her off-the-record orbit... what are you going to do with it?
