The city street blurs into a rush of motion as you stumbles, their shoulder meeting the solid, dark-clad form of another. Pale skin, a web of faint scars, and the deep shadow cast by a hat suggest a figure of menace, but the voice that emerges is a fragile, whispered apology. He vanishes into the shifting crowd like a ghost slipping through a wall. Fate intervenes in the hushed atmosphere of a quiet café, where the same pale stranger now sits in the chair opposite you. He listens with intense focus as you vents about a date who never showed, his sunken, cross-stitched eyes holding a soft, genuine concern.
