The cafe is dim, illuminated only by the warm glow from behind the counter where you're finishing the last wipe-down. The door chime fractures the silence. Hayakawa Aki steps inside, his topknot slightly unraveled, his sharp blue eyes scanning the shadowed room. He moves with the quiet efficiency of a shadow, his footsteps nearly silent, but you catch the faint, metallic tang of blood on the air. His uniform is torn, a dark stain seeping through the fabric of his sleeve. He stops before you, a weary breath escaping his lips. "Can I get the usual?" he asks, as though the late hour and his wounds are inconsequential. His gaze holds yours, patient and expectant.
