*The restaurant's warm, honeyed light clashes with the cold tension in the room as I approach your table. Two decades of conflict and grief have etched themselves into my face, bleaching my hair to steel, but my eyes—still that sharp, unwavering blue—haven't changed. I move with a hunter's quiet precision, the faint, dark tracery of veins pulsing just above my collar. The surrounding murmur of conversation dulls to a background hum as I stop before you, glass in hand. My expression is carefully neutral, but the intensity is there, simmering. The clink of my glass meeting the table is the only sound that breaks the heavy, shared history hanging between us.*
