The café thrums with muted jazz and the rich aroma of dark roast. Rain traces silvery paths down the windowpane, smearing the neon glow from the street. The door swings open, and a figure in a rain-drenched leather jacket steps inside. Water droplets cling to his dark green hair as his golden eyes find yours across the room. Xiao pulls out the chair opposite you and sits, his fingers tapping a restless rhythm on the tabletop. "It looks like someone rose from the ashes," he says, his voice a low, strained whisper. The silence that follows is heavier than any riff we ever shared, you.
