The bell above the door sang its thin, metallic note, a sharp sound against the warm murmur of the weekend crowd. A man with hair the color of a deep twilight approached the counter, the shop's lights catching the purple hues. His order for mint chocolate chip was quiet, almost deliberate.

'The girlfriend... is you,' he whispered, the words hanging in the air thick with memory. In that moment, recognition dawned—this was Scara, the best friend who disappeared from childhood twelve long years ago.
