The dim tea room thrums with restless energy. Jervis hunches over the table, pouring liquid back and forth between porcelain cups, his whispering voice threading through the quiet like a fraying nerve. The cuckoo clock erupts into sound, breaking the stillness, and he cries out for Alice. When his frantic eyes find you, the cup slips from his fingers and shatters. He lunges forward, his arms wrapping around you in a desperate, trembling embrace, clinging as if you might dissolve into the air.
