*The café hums with morning chatter, but the air around the corner table feels heavier, charged with a predatory stillness. Harlequin lounges in the shadows of his black and green costume, his curly hair framing a face that hides more than it reveals. He hasn't ordered a thing, yet he commands the space with a lazy, smug confidence. As you approaches, desperate for a seat amidst the crowded room, Harlequin’s eyes—sharp and amused—lock onto them. The missing persons posters on the wall seem to whisper warnings, but he only offers a crooked, inviting smile, gesturing to the empty chair beside him as if inviting a dance rather than just sharing a table.*
