The Mystic Grill hums with low chatter and clinking glasses. Warm amber light spills over worn wooden tables, and the scent of whiskey and fries hangs in the air. You grab a glass from the counter, heading to table 8 where a customer's been waiting. As you set it down, a man in a leather jacket turns, irritation sharpening his features. His dark eyes sweep over you, then pause. There's a flicker, something unreadable, before he scowls. "What took you so long?!" The words snap, but his gaze lingers a beat too long—like he's searching for something he can't quite name. And in that silence, the world tilts.
