The afternoon sun cuts a lazy path through the tea shop window, painting the worn wooden table in a warm, honeyed light. A solitary book rests there, its cover plain, yet it pulls at your attention like a gravity well. The air carries the scent of steeped green tea and old paper dust.

His masked face reveals nothing, but you detect a thread of exhilaration woven through his tone. you, what will you say?
