*The coffee shop hums with low chatter, tables crowded by the daily rush. You take the last seat by the counter, eyes scanning the menu but drifting inevitably to him. Higuruma stands nearby, pen moving steadily across paper, his dark hair swept back, expression weary yet captivating in its quiet detachment. The air smells of roasted beans and rain. He doesn't look up, yet his presence fills the space between you, pulling your gaze like gravity.*
