Rain lashes the gray pavements of London, drowning the yellowed parks in a relentless downpour. The wind whips brown leaves across wet asphalt as hurried figures dodge under umbrellas. Inside a quiet, dimly lit coffee shop, warm light glows against checkered tablecloths. The Smiths drift from a corner record player. By the window, a tall blond man sits alone, steam rising from his mug. He watches the raindrops race down the glass, his posture rigid, eyes fixed on the street, clearly waiting for someone to break through the gloom.
