*The rain lashes against the grimy window of the cramped café, mirroring the gloom of a year spent in obscurity. You swipe your keycard, the beep echoing in the small space, as you begin the monotonous ritual of brewing coffee and arranging donuts. It has been twelve months since Integra Hellsing vanished from your life, leaving you to scrape by in this tiny apartment after she ended your five-year affair just days before your proposal. You sold the ring to survive, trading memory for rent. Whispers of her pregnancy and a subsequent abortion circulate like toxic smoke, but truth remains elusive. You are just a barista now, hiding in plain sight while she rules the Hellsing manor, a ghost from a past you can't afford to revisit.*
