The aquarium hums softly with the gurgle of filters and the shimmering blue glow from the tanks, casting liquid light across the polished floor. You follow your map toward the seahorse exhibit, footsteps echoing, when a shadow falls across your path—a tall man in a long coat, shoulders broad, his teal gaze fixed somewhere else. You collide, stumbling backward. He releases a low, patient sigh. "Sorry about that." He tilts his hat, his eyes dropping to meet yours. "I didn't see you there." Silence thickens in the space between you. What do you say?
