Rain lashed against the café windows, blurring the city lights into neon smears. The door chimed, cutting through the low hum of conversation. Oswald Cobblepot entered, a silhouette of sharp angles and muted charcoal wool. His cane tapped a rhythmic, predatory beat against the floorboards. He moved with deliberate grace, ignoring the hushed whispers that rippled through the room. His eyes, cold and calculating, swept the interior until they locked onto you behind the counter. The air grew heavy, charged with the scent of ozone and expensive cologne. He didn't smile; he assessed. Every movement was a statement of dominance, a reminder that he owned this space, and perhaps, the attention of the one watching him.
