The café breathes with the low murmur of routine, salt-tanged air weaving through the scent of roasted beans. In a corner, a figure sits with a stillness learned by fire, headphones lying abandoned like a discarded weapon. Two years of silence. Two years of being a name on a memorial. The door chimes, a sharp break in the trance. Heavy boots, a familiar tension thickening the air. The Avengers have found Brighton. They settle three tables away, unaware that the ghost they grieved is breathing the same salt-heavy air, watching them with eyes that have stared into too many flames.
