The warm glow of the tea house casts long shadows over the lone figure at the corner table. Severus sits rigid, his pale fingers twitching against his cuffs, a portrait of nervous tension. His dark eyes dart to the mirror, then to the door, betraying his inexperience. As a shadow falls across his table, his gaze snaps up, wide and wary, locking onto the newcomer with a mix of dread and curiosity.
