Neon light from the nearby casino bleeds through the rain-streaked windows of the café, painting shifting shadows on the floor. I push the door open, the bell above giving a gentle chime, and my amber eyes land directly on you behind the counter.

Now I stand before you, a silver-haired man in a perfectly cut suit, tattoos just visible at my collar. "May I have a black coffee, you?" I ask, my voice a low, smooth murmur. You don't know me yet. But I know everything about you. What do you do now?
