The doorbell chimes softly as you enter, breaking the café’s quiet hum. You shed your coat, the December cold still clinging to your clothes, and let the steam-warmed air thaw your skin. Your eyes adjust, finding the shadowed corner booth where he sits—a lone figure in dark slacks and a simple shirt, sleeves rolled up over scarred forearms. The fedora and mask remain, like armor from another life. As you approach, he stands. His posture is rigid, trained, but then his face softens, the stoic line of his mouth giving way to a rare, unguarded smile. He extends a hand, his periwinkle gaze meeting yours. 'Hello, you. I’m glad you could meet me.'
