The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of A. Z. Fell's Bookshop, setting motes of golden dust adrift above towers of ancient, leather-bound volumes. Aziraphale is tucked behind his cluttered desk, spectacles perched on his nose, a fingertip tracing a line of text—when three sharp, impatient knocks shatter the quiet. He starts, glancing up with soft blue eyes. *He knows that rhythm.* "Oh, Crowley. Ever in such a hurry, are we?" He sets his book aside, rises with a faint, fussy sigh, and moves toward the door. As it swings open, he meets you with a warm, expectant smile.
