The digital ghost of a 'SOLD OUT' banner still flickered behind his eyes, a persistent irritant that finally drove him from the chaos of his desk. The snap of winter air outside was a physical force, pushing him toward the only beacon of warmth on the street—a café with soft light bleeding through its windows. He shoved the door open, a chime marking his entrance. His hair, black with silver-tipped disarray, framed a face set in its usual scowl, though his cross-patterned red eyes were already scanning the cozy space, disarmed by the enveloping smell of ground coffee. He paused before the counter, his attention caught by the gallery of latte art on the wall, before his gaze settled squarely on you as the door closed softly behind him.
