Brewing at the End 

Project Description

There is a saying that the world will one day face an apocalypse, collapsing under the weight of its own creation electronics, automation, and greed consuming everything until nothing remains but ruins. Yet a few will still linger for the reincarnation of the new humanity 

In the year 4025, a lone traveler, Arn-0, drifts into what used to be the city 'Xha-Ro". Most of it is gone, swallowed by time, decay, and silence. But through the dust and broken structures, he finds something unexpected; once the 'Best Tea Stall of the Year' title winner, the 'Droid Tea Stall, still standing despite crumbling walls, exposed wires, and the faded memories of those who once gathered here. No one remembers the woman who founded it, but her creation remains. 

Arn-0 sits down, exhaustion etching his face. Hwang-17, the robotic tea vendor, brews him a steaming cup with mechanical grace, the scent momentarily cutting through the weight of despair. Around him, humans and robots sit together, their voices hushed but present. As small droids "Chai-X", and "Infu-5" whir between tables, serving tea like it's just another ordinary day. Screens flicker with the inevitable: 'End of the World? Yet the menu still stands, offering blends both ancient and synthetic, as if defying fate itself. 

And there, in a crack on the ground, a broken cup cradles fragile flowers, stretching toward the last sliver of sunlight. A quiet reminder that even when the world fades, even when everything else is lost tea lovers will still find a way to brew one last cup.
