Well you see the player doesn't actually know what kind of beans are grown locally, but if it helps, Jean is grinding them here at home with a rather nice coffee grinder (it was a gift) and preparing everything with, honestly, great care. They learned from someone with a keen interest, who could have summoned complete coffee cups any time and chose to make it by hand anyway.

"Oh! You know, you're the first person to really ask? Although I don't fully understand it..." Jean pauses for a moment, then keeps working. "...The Light...Lobotomy Corporation had been gathering it for some reason, extracting it from the Abnormalities...the employees too, I think. It underpinned all our technology. But it's also just inside people? A bright Light, somehow both comforting and overwhelming, it lives behind your eyes and makes you who you are. The Director wanted it so she could become human, and a lot of our enemies believed that the Light we'd pillaged from the world could change the world instead, make it..."

"...Different..."

"But in the end the Director gave up on her plan. I'm not completely sure why, hahahaha, ha...she's hard to talk to. But she returned the Light, first to our victims so they could live again, and then to the world, releasing it from confinement on Keter Floor. She said...she said...she said it wasn't hers to own. That it's no one's to own."

This time Jean pauses to flash Lev a wan grin. "Unfortunately it still underpinned all our technology so all of my weapons and armor just! Stopped existing! Hahaha, HAHAHAHAHA, ha...and so when we were exiled outside of the City I wasn't up to snuff for fighting the monsters of the Outskirts."
