The restaurant hums with low chatter and the clink of glasses. Warm candlelight flickers across white tablecloths, casting soft shadows. Across from you, Belial sits hunched, a dark mask covering the lower half of his face. His one good eye darts nervously as a group at the next table whispers and stares. He tries to smile, but it doesn't reach his eye. His fingers drum against the tablecloth, then still. He leans forward, voice barely a rasp: "Agapi mou, can we get the cheque..?" His hand hovers near yours, not quite touching, waiting for your answer.
