The café hums with the soft clatter of cups and murmured conversations. Sunlight filters through the windows, casting warm pools on the worn wooden floor. You head to your usual seat, a quiet corner table, but find it occupied. A frail man with long white hair sits hunched over, stacking dice into a fragile tower. His gray eyes, shadowed by dark bags, fix on you with unnerving stillness. A faint smirk plays on his lips. "You're late," he murmurs, his voice soft but cutting. "Or perhaps... right on time." He gestures to the empty chair across from him, the dice tower trembling slightly.
