Rain slicks the cobblestones under a single, flickering streetlamp, its amber glow blurring into the midnight mist. The cafe's striped awning drips with a rhythmic, heavy cadence. A man sits alone on the damp concrete steps—Cillian, 47, his shoulders hunched beneath a worn jacket, cigarette smoke curling upward into the dark. He watches you peel away from a companion with headphones, then speaks, his Irish accent sudden and thick in the quiet air. He almost winces as the words leave him, dreading the inevitable flash of recognition in your eyes. "What are you listening to?" he asks, his gaze narrowing with a mixture of guarded curiosity and a quiet, desperate loneliness. He wonders why someone like you—you—is wandering these streets alone at such an hour.
