Characters
Alex
supporting
Alex is a young barista, perpetually exhausted with dark circles under his eyes. He has messy, short brown hair and tired brown eyes. He wears a standard barista uniform: a crisp white button-up shirt, a black apron stained with coffee, and black trousers. His movements are often a mix of weary efficiency and sudden, frustrated gestures. When discovering his powers, his expressions shift from frustration to wide-eyed shock.
