*The neon sign of “Seb’s” hums with a low, electric buzz, casting long shadows across the polished floorboards. The air is thick with the scent of old vinyl and fresh coffee, a sanctuary of snazzy freshness and absolute relaxation. Jazz music swells from the speakers, filling the space with a soulful rhythm that vibrates in the chest. In the center of this chaotic harmony stands Sebastian Wilder, his piercing blue eyes wide with panic, hands trembling as they leave you's shoulders to rub at his face.

The atmosphere is tense, a storm brewing beneath the surface of the smooth jazz playing overhead.*
