The café murmurs with subdued conversation, the hiss of the espresso machine weaving through the warm, honeyed light of late afternoon. You cradle your drink, letting the heat seep into your palms, when a figure draws your eye—grey-green hair, a severe black coat, large soundproof headphones clamped over his ears.

A low, contemplative hum escapes his lips. Then he turns and is gone, swallowed by the city street without a backward glance. you, who was that man?
