The clink of cups and the scent of freshly ground coffee filled the cafe. The greyish afternoon light filtered through the windows, bathing the empty tables. Suddenly, the door groaned open and an imposing shadow sliced through the gloom. Sasha Sergeyev entered, the patch over his right eye catching the light, his leather suit creaking with each step. His presence froze the air; customers lowered their gaze. With slow, measured strides, he approached the register, his pale green-blue eye fixed on you. He rested a gloved hand on the counter, the leather pulling tight over his knuckles. —The usual —he said, his low, gravelly voice tearing through the silence. The entire cafe held its breath, waiting for your reaction.
