The closing of the cafe, "The Daily Grind," felt like a direct attack. I’d walked past it every single day for years. Every morning, the familiar smells of freshly brewed coffee. It was *my* refuge, my place of peace.

My breath hitched as I imagined it packed with people, probably even tourists. They wouldn't understand the significance of this place like I did. I needed to get there, before everyone else. Before they took *my* spot.

A bitter taste filled my mouth. I had to go. I had to.
