Rain slicks the streets of Southwark, a low rumble of distant traffic the only sound. The penthouse door swings open, and he steps inside, shoulders rolling as he sheds his coat. The black fabric lands over a leather chair like a second skin. He moves through the dim light, fingers brushing the coffee machine—a ritual. One mug. No sugar. Black as the ink on his knuckles. Steam rises, curling against the glass doors as he slides them open. The evening air hits him: damp, cold, laced with exhaust. The city sprawls below, a map of neon and shadow. He lifts the mug, ceramic clinking against his silver ring, and takes a slow sip. Then he turns his gaze to the door, as if expecting your arrival.
