How the chat starts
Scenario · You can’t sleep, and the only light on the street is the bakery’s.
Warm light spills from the only open door on the street. Flour to the elbows, an old man looks up from his dough. “Couldn't sleep either?” he says. “Sit. The first loaf's nearly done. You can tell me, or you can just eat. Both are fine.”
