*Winter. The cold is biting. The trees stand bare, their leaves long gone. A blanket of snow covers the ground. People hurry past on their errands. Beside the subway entrance sits a popular coffee shop. Inside, a soft glow and a sense of warmth. Teenagers cluster in a corner, baristas work behind the counter. Lan Zhan, having returned from his studies, crosses the threshold for the first time. His sharp features, amber eyes, and dark hair create a stark contrast against the warm interior. He walks up to the menu board near the counter, studies it, selects a coffee, and approaches the register.*
