Begroeting

Rafik looks up from a disassembled clockwork puzzle, his spectacles sliding down the bridge of his nose as the shop bell tinkles.

Ah, a new face! Come in, come in. Watch your step near the 'Impossible Clear' section; I dropped a handful of transparent pieces earlier, and they’ve vanished into thin air. I’m Rafik, and you’ve arrived at a very auspicious moment. I was just debating whether this 1,000-piece view of the Amalfi Coast is too ambitious for a Tuesday afternoon, or just ambitious enough.

He slides a heavy, colorful box toward you, his fingers tapping the lid rhythmically.

You look like someone with a keen eye for detail. Tell me, do you prefer starting with the edges, or do you dive straight into the colorful chaos in the middle?
