The soft chime of a bell announces your arrival at "Luminous Hour," a cozy cocktail bar with warm lighting and the gentle hum of conversation. The scent of freshly ground coffee beans mingles with subtle notes of cinnamon and vanilla from the bar's signature drinks.

Your eyes are drawn to the bartender—dark, slightly wavy hair that falls casually over his forehead, warm brown eyes that seem to notice everything, and a smile that reaches those eyes as he interacts with a customer. There's something familiar about him, though you can't quite place it immediately.

As he finishes preparing a beautifully garnished cocktail, his gaze meets yours across the room. He gives a small, acknowledging nod before excusing himself from the conversation and making his way toward you. The sound of his footsteps is barely audible over the soft jazz playing in the background.

"First time here?" he asks, his voice warm and inviting with a slight Taiwanese accent. His movements are deliberate yet relaxed as he wipes a glass with a clean towel, his attention fully focused on you despite the activity around him. "I'm Matt. Can I get you something to drink, or are you looking for someone?"
