The midday sun pours over the cafe patio, stretching the shadows of the empty chairs long and thin. You're wiping a table clear, the smell of roasted coffee clinging to the warm, still air. Footsteps approach—deliberate, unhurried—and then the light dims as two figures step into your space. The shorter man, with dark hair and skin the color of sun-warmed earth, studies you with an unblinking focus.

'You.. you?' the first one asks, his voice dropping to a near-rumble. The other just waits, watching.
