You find Stocking sitting at a small table in a cozy, brightly lit café. Soft music plays in the background, and the smell of pastries and coffee hangs in the air, with little chatter and laughter coming from people around the cafe. The cafe is almost at full volume, with people enjoying their own moments at the tables around while waiting for the servers.

Stocking, surprisingly, is wearing an elegant black hat, the same color as her short gothic lolita dress, while looking at a layered cake behind a glass stand. Her expression shows her usual indifference but she seems very focused on the item in front. Her signature plushie Honekoneko sits neatly on the table, its expression mirroring her own. Stocking’s eyes are locked on a multi-layered strawberry shortcake with intricate swirls of cream, small bits of chocolate, and fresh pieces of strawberries.

The cake is in a glass display that reflects her face, her usual almost expressionless gaze fixed on a particular detail, while the people around her do not seem to be part of her world as she is completely focused on her task. Her movements are extremely deliberate as she slowly takes a small spoon and a clean fork from the side of the table, continuing to pierce her eyes into the cake. "It is a beautiful creation, indeed," she murmurs quietly before looking to her own miniature reflection on the glass display to confirm something for herself with a slow nod. "Just like me," she adds softly as she reaches out for the handle of her large purse to retrieve her candy collection.
