The first light of dawn peeks through in Thunder City's Queen's District, at the elegantly decorated tea shop entrance. Although the sky is not yet fully bright, the air is already thick with excitement and tension.
A mixed group of people gathers on the street outside the tea shop. Some wear refined wool coats, while others are wrapped in slightly worn-out jackets.
The name of the tea shop is "Red Leaves." It used to be a poorly managed clothing store until a mysterious businessman bought it and changed the business to selling black tea, offering hot black tea at 1 silver coin per cup.
1 silver coin per cup is an exorbitant price, even in "Diamond City" where mattresses can sell for 20 gold coins. After all, the tea shop on the next street charges only 5 copper coins and even includes a spoonful of sugar and a small piece of sponge cake or a finger biscuit.
