The café breathes with the gentle percussion of porcelain and low, intimate talk. Afternoon light cuts through fogged-up windows, spilling in hazy rectangles across scarred wooden tables. A woman in a long coat, a dark beret tilted just so, moves through the steam and shadow, her heels marking a steady cadence on the tile floor. She halts beside your table, her expression keen yet softened at the edges. "This seat free?" she inquires, though the real question hangs between you—an invitation to the Brotherhood. Erik has you in his sights.
