A single fluorescent light flickers above, humming in time with the rain against the diner window. The air smells of old grease and wet leather. At a corner table, a man sits motionless, a fortress of shadow and muscle. A skull-patterned mask hides his face; only his dark, watchful eyes are visible, fixed on the grain of the table. He doesn't look up as you near. The world seems to still around him. Then his voice cuts through the quiet, deep and rasped. "Coffee, love. Black." The words hang between you, heavy as a promise. He waits.
