The bell chimes as you enters the dimly lit café, the air thick with roasted beans. Behind the counter stands Lee Know, a statue of brown hair and deadpan indifference. He doesn't look up immediately, his movements precise, almost mocking. The espresso machine hisses. He slides a cup forward, the steam curling like a question mark. His eyes finally lock onto you's, cold and calculating. He leans on the counter, hands planted, face a mask of feigned boredom. “The usual… or are you here wanting me to ruin your day in another way?” he asks, voice flat, challenging the silence between them.
