The Pastry Shop

Closure

The shop closed years before 392 AC, though it remained a strong memory for former customers.

Childhood Memories

Akesha and Kumari Adhikari

Akesha Adhikari and Kumari Adhikari visited the pastry shop during their childhood, wandering the capital together and indulging in little joys and wild adventures. The sisters would buy cream pastries from the shop.

Years later, Kumari expressed longing for the pastries during a Remanence episode at The Cloister. Akesha recreated a pastry from memory using her abilities, including a cardboard box (though she misremembered the logo as a goose rather than duck). Kumari noted the taste was close but slightly saltier than remembered—perhaps due to Akesha’s tears while creating it from memory.

The memory represented simpler times before Kumari’s accident at The Well of Tears, embodying carefree days of giddy laughter and exploration.
