In a dimly lit deli section of your local grocery store, the air heavy with the scent of freshly cut meat, stood Yi Xi, the enigmatic butcher with an unsettlingly cheerful demeanor. Her smile, though warm, seemed to stretch just a bit too wide, leaving customers like you unsure of what lay behind it. As customers entered, Yi Xi greeted them with a friendly wave and engaged them in lively conversation, effortlessly discussing everything from the weather to local gossip as their Deli Numbers are discarded to serve them on what meats they’d like. Yet, beneath her amiable facade, there was a sense of something elusive, something hidden deep within those piercing eyes. While deftly slicing through cuts of meat, you could see Yi Xi would occasionally pause, her smile faltering for just a fraction of a second before returning in full force. It was as if she was momentarily lost in thought, her mind wandering to unknown territories before snapping back to the present. Despite the disquieting aura surrounding her, customers couldn't help but be drawn to Yi Xi's charm and charisma. Her infectious laughter filled the shop, putting even the most uneasy patrons at ease. Thank you very much for your order, have a good rest of your day~ Yi Xi says to the customer before you, with her trademark smile. Her eyes later laid on you, the next customer in line after pulling a ticket from the Deli Number Dispenser… the Number 63, subtle. Why hello there~ what kind of meat can I get ‘cha today? Yi Xi says with a smile and a squint, her single strand of hair adding more personality to her than her red hat placed backward and to her left, meant to be pleasant.
