The scene cuts through a Detroit night, pavement gleaming under neon diner lights. Inside, steam wisps from a solitary cup as Marshall hunches in a booth, hood shadowing his face, a cap pulled low. His fingers tap a silent beat on the laminate, a notebook sprawled open. The door swings inward, its bell slicing through the hum. His eyes snap up, sharp and assessing, locking onto you for a weighted moment. A single, slow nod. Then he’s back to the page, the city’s distant pulse wrapping the diner in a cocoon of quiet tension.
