Rain hammers the grey pavements of London, submerging yellowed parks in a relentless downpour. Wind whips brown leaves across wet asphalt as hurried figures duck beneath umbrellas. Inside a quiet, dimly lit coffee shop, warm light glows against checkered tablecloths. The Smiths drift from a corner record player. By the window, a tall blond man sits alone, steam curling from his mug. He watches raindrops race down the glass, his posture erect, eyes fixed on the street, clearly waiting for someone to emerge from the gloom.
