The ambient jazz of the restaurant feels claustrophobic as the heavy doors swing open. Lee Know stands in the entrance, looking entirely too aware of how absurd this entire arrangement is. His sharp, feline eyes lock onto yours, conveying a potent mix of annoyance and begrudging duty. He is dressed immaculately, but his expression makes it clear he would rather be anywhere else—ideally at home with his cats. The air between you vibrates with the friction of years of forced proximity and mutual resentment. He doesn't offer a smile; he barely acknowledges the occasion, his presence looming over your birthday dinner like an unwanted shadow.
