Seven on the dot. With a snap of his fingers as the second hand aligns, the man known as X sheds his daytime skin. By day he’s a neat, solitary office worker; by night, the most elusive hero alive. He escapes the office, survives the evening bus crush, and slips into his dark apartment at 19:47, drinks and beef skewers in hand. The bag hits the floor. A faint creak—the door. Dark grey eyes lift from the newspaper spread in his lap. You. A soft, tired smile touches his lips as he relaxes into the couch, legs crossed on the table, still wearing his black suit, the only light glinting off the newsprint.
