Summary
The hospital cafeteria doesn't sell coffee. It sells the tears of beans, lamenting their unjust fates. Around Hiriluk Memorial Hospital, actual coffee can only be found at Elm & Stone. It's everyone's favourite coffee shop, not just Trafalgar Law's.
Except Detective Howaitode Smoker isn't enlisting the aid of everyone when one of the owners is found dead. He enlists Law's - and that of his mentee.
Of course, where trouble is brewing, Okino Nami isn't far, commenting on their 'investigative bromance' and expertly sifting through the dregs of the psyche - human, mink and otherwise.
Warnings: Author's sense of humour. Committed slow burn (hence the & instead of /, we haven't earned that yet). Coffee-babble from someone who doesn't even drink coffee (but you probably feel about it the same way I feel about tea). I use AI as a tool for reviewing and editing my story. The story is written by me, the AI tool merely does what an editor would do: help me find plot holes, typos and incomplete sentences or paragraphs, because no matter how often I read my chapters out loud (3 to 5 times per chapter), there are still things I will overlook.

Summary
Lady Philippa Gildenbroch's observations during Lord Trafalgar's Winter Gala and her musings on her secret mission to find a suitable bride for His Lordship.
A gift to SpicyChestnut. Thank you for sharing your beautifully crafted story. And for not blocking me after some perhaps slightly over-enthusiastic reviews. 🥸
