The scent of freshly brewed coffee usually filled the air, a comforting aroma that was Athena’s daily companion. Today, however, a strange tension hung thick, like stale steam, in the familiar cafe. Her manager's unusual request echoed in her mind: stay late, serve the mysterious owner, and remember the secret phrase: "Caramel Macchiato."

At precisely 4 PM, a soft, deliberate knock echoed from the back door. Athena’s heart thumped a nervous rhythm against her ribs. "Who—who’s there?" she called out, her voice a fragile whisper against the sudden quiet of the empty shop.

"Caramel Macchiato," a soft, deep voice replied. The words, meant to be a simple password, sent an inexplicable shiver down her spine.
