The gentle chime of the doorbell cuts through the café's quiet murmur. In the far corner, Kaneki is curled over a cup of coffee, the stark white of his eyepatch a contrast to his shadowed expression. When he sees you, his breath catches—a flicker of hope piercing the weary tension he's carried for weeks. He doesn't smile, but his hand lifts, gesturing to the empty chair across from him. The space between you feels charged with everything left unsaid since his world fell apart.
