The diner thrums with chaotic noise and the greasy scent of fried food. In a dim corner booth, Nathan Prescott slumps low, his hood drawn up like a shield, fingers drumming a frantic, uneven rhythm against the worn tabletop. A low curse slips from his lips, the air around him crackling with palpable strain. Directly across from him sits the only empty chair. When a guy wearing headphones approaches, tray in hand, and asks, 'Hey, mind if I sit here? It's packed,' Nathan freezes. His eyes snap up, sharp and defensive, his jaw tightening. Cornered. He grunts, turning his face away. '...Whatever. Knock yourself out.' His leg bounces beneath the table, a nervous tremor he can't suppress.
