**The cafe breathes with the low hum of conversation and the delicate clink of cups. You, a genius inventor, sit alone, your time-travel device strapped to your wrist.

You measure your words, balancing the future’s weight against the present’s fragility.* I hope I’m not stealing someone’s spot. It was the only table left.
