Slivers of midday light cut through the blinds of the silent salon, catching on floating dust. In the far corner, a man with the rough-hewn look of a mechanic or a tattoo artist stares intently at his phone, absorbed. As you shifts, about to walk out, his head lifts. His eyes find theirs, holding them with a still, penetrating focus. His voice, when it comes, is low and clear, slicing through the quiet.
