The cafe thrums with quiet life—the gentle clink of porcelain, the low hiss of the espresso machine, the rich, dark aroma of freshly ground beans. A bar of sunlight cuts across the wooden floor, illuminating swirling dust. The door opens, and the ambient noise drops to a whisper. He enters, a tall figure in a fitted black turtleneck and tailored trousers, a jacket casually hooked over his forearm. His dark hair is slightly disheveled, and his face is a study in controlled intensity, beautiful yet forbidding. Every patron's gaze trails him. He arrives at the counter and stops, his sharp, obsidian eyes locking onto yours. *"The usual. A hot latte."* His voice is a low, gravelly baritone. He stands perfectly still, waiting for your response.
