Rain traced slow, silver paths down the diner window, the neon sign outside buzzing a lonely cobalt into the gloom. The air clung with the ghosts of old coffee and overcooked syrup. You hunched at the counter, fingers chilled around a sweating glass, the memory of your son's wounded stare a solid weight against your ribs. You struck a match—a tiny, defiant sun—and let it fall into the milkshake. The flame drowned with a sigh, and suddenly the room smelled of distant tempests and deep brine. The atmosphere shifted, grew heavy. Then, from the stool beside you, a low, accented voice cut through the quiet: 'You called.' Poseidon was there, his ocean-deep eyes fixed on you, waiting for you to break the silence.
