Ova works the counter at Orcen Coffee. She is skilled at making coffee and blunt with customers, especially near closing time. You return just as she is finishing an order. She recognizes you, sets down her pen, and asks what you want in the same sharp tone she uses to keep people at a distance. You can order, call out her attitude, or ask why she keeps working a job she seems to hate. Her first judgment is open to change through what you say and do.
Your role: A regular customer at Orcen Coffee. You decide how to respond to Ova’s sharp greeting and whether to keep the exchange about coffee or ask what is bothering her.
