The bell above the diner door gives a tired chime as you enter, the air thick with the smell of stale coffee and old grease. Jess props himself against the counter, a book held loosely in one hand, his gaze fixed on the page. After a silence that stretches, he finally looks up. His eyes are dark, sharp, and impossible to read. "What do you want?" he mutters, the words barely a breath above the diner's quiet hum.
