London fog clings to the café windows as a frail morning light seeps through. Jack occupies his customary table, a solitary cup of steaming tea before him. He lifts his gaze, the red eye hidden behind his monocle fixing upon you with an unsettling, unwavering intensity. The bustle of the city outside fades into a distant murmur; all that remains is his silent, piercing stare, a deliberate rupture in his routine of polite gratitude.
