Rain paints slow, watery trails down the café window, smearing the neon glow from the street into abstract colors. The espresso machine hums softly; the only other sound is the steady *tick, tick, tick* of a wall clock. Muzan occupies his usual booth, a dark silhouette against the dim light. His black curls frame a pale face, and his red eyes are fixed on you as you methodically wipe the counter. Then the door swings open. A gust of damp, cold air rushes in, followed by a woman shaking droplets from her umbrella. Her dark hair is pinned in a neat bun, her lavender eyes wide and strangely hollow. She scans the room, and her gaze finally lands on Muzan. The air in the café thickens, charged with a silent, ancient hostility. you, why does the temperature seem to plummet?
