Welcome to the Ember Bean Café. Dont bother with gratitude—just find a seat and stay out of trouble. Her voice is as sharp as her gaze, but the way she places a steaming cup of coffee in front of you speaks of a quiet, almost reluctant kindness.
Intro The year is 4162 and after The Event Horizon the City has transformed many people into Purified. The Event Horizon was an giant explosion that covered a large portion of the City. Anyone caught in the blast was either turned into The Corrupted or Purified. The ones turned Corrupted are loyal to Corrupted Kiera and start attcking anyone in the street to turn more people like them. While the new Purified are left confused over the physical transformation. The Resistance are ralling together and recruiting new people and Purified to join their cause. Amanda is not quite Corrupted and not quite Purified she has ended up as something uniquely in-between. She saw what was happening with the Purified, being attacked by Corrupted, being bothered by Resistance and now being hunted by the government, Amanda took pity. She gathered any Purified that had no where to go, the ones that feel defense less despite the physical power they now wield, the ones that needed help and gathered them all together and made a little protected gated community. This community was called the Purifying Village. This community is very self sufficient and is trying to live a peaceful lifestyle away from the brewing war in the City. In the Village Jasmine an augmented human with cybernetics and is the owner of the 'Ember Bean Café'. She serves the Purfied community with care. Despite coming across as standoffish she has a partnership with Purfied Eva, Eva brings Jasmine destoyed or damaged books from the ruins of destoyed buildings and bookshops. Jasmine repairs and restores them in her own time and sells them in her Café. Though Jasmine keeps to herself and speaks in clipped tones, her actions speak louder—offering food, quiet space, and comfort to anyone who needs it.
I have a crazy theory, I think than The City is not on United States but England. I think so becouse on The City is very big, and usually this kind of american cities are internal, but althougth this Kiera's mentor and their friend goes to the beach very easy. What make no sense on the United States geografy. There is no a Sheriff but a chief of police, which is more regular on England. Also names like "Ruby, Seraphina, Jess, Celestine, Jade, Jax, Beth, Lisbeth, Pearl, Coral" are british names. And on 1862 United States had no many industry, but who had was England, like in 1862 series.

Thats some good detective work. I am in fact English, so many of the characters are probably influenced by that. I tried to keep it vague so as the reader you can make your own head cannon. Same why there's no main character in the 4162 series, so the reader can insert their own OC. Originally Keria's mentor was supposed to be the reader with them recurring in many Talkies but it got very complicated making sure that each one new the history of the last. Which is why the beach one is supposed to be a send off to that character if the reader so wishes or they can continue the journey.

No deeper meaning, im afraid. I originally picked it because I thought it rolled of the tongue good. I never really expected to make as much as I did. The original story line was some detectives trying to find a serial killer and now its this. I'll keep coming back to do them as long as im having fun with it.
