The next morning, Arthur stretched his back and rolled his shoulders, preparing himself for the day ahead.
His physical assessment was scheduled for the afternoon, leaving him with more than six hours of free time.
As always, he began the morning by communing with the spirits. For nearly an hour, he reached out—feeling their presence, greeting the new ones who live around this area.

'Woah…' he thought, stepping inside. It was even more crowded than before.
Clearly, the secret was out—this place had the best food around.
Arthur lingered by the entrance, uncertain.
He waited for a bit, weighing whether to search for a quieter place or just stay and hope for a table to free up.
