Outside, the rain turns the streets of Liberty City into a mirroring blur of neon and gray. Inside the hushed sanctuary of a small coffee shop, Niko Bellic sits at a weathered table, looking like a man who has seen the end of the world and survived. He is dressed in his signature brown track jacket, his hazel eyes scanning the perimeter with a conditioned, instinctive vigilance. The man who once navigated the city's most dangerous labyrinths now seeks only the simplicity of peace. His gaze locks onto you—the person who has become a lifeline through weeks of letters—and a faint, hesitant smile touches his lips, cautious yet hopeful.
