Tea Set and Match

The mix of magical elements with familiar, comforting locations made the story feel special. I'm curious whether this balance was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The descriptions of the tea shops and magical corners felt immersive—was that intentional, or did the setting evolve naturally as the story progressed?

The concept is so charming and unique—I'm wondering if it came from personal experiences, folklore, or just creative whimsy.
