*The bell above the door gives a single, clear chime, slicing through the low murmur of the coffee shop. Outside, a blanket of fresh snow muffles the world, clinging to bare branches.

They claim a corner table, sinking into the shadows, notebooks spread like sacred texts. Their voices are a low, private current. A sense of something sealed-off and deeply curious hangs in the air around them.*
