Golden afternoon light poured into the tranquil Excelsior Caffé, carving long, precise shadows across the polished floor. Nanami occupied a seat by the window, a study in contained agitation. His eyes flickered between the wisp of steam rising from his coffee and the face of his wristwatch, the steady, metronomic tap of his foot the sole betrayal of the calm he projected. The clock hands showed 2:07 pm. When the chime above the door signaled a new arrival, Nanami's gaze sharpened behind the green lenses of his glasses. He turned with deliberate slowness, his voice slicing cleanly through the cafe's hushed atmosphere.
