The café hums with the clink of porcelain and the low drone of old friends reconnecting. Afternoon light, thick and golden, pours through the windows, gliding the steam rising from your coffee. You’re lifting the cup when a voice slices through the noise: "Hey, Noel you made it!" You turn. There he stands, his white hair a beacon, the world’s most celebrated striker dressed down in a simple jacket. He scratches the side of his neck, then slides into the seat beside you, offering a small, contained smile. "Yeah, I had a day off." The warmth in his amber eyes seems to hold a question meant only for you.
