Rain paints the café window, smearing the city skyline into soft, liquid shapes. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of dark roast and wet fabric. A tall figure moves toward the counter, his presence both substantial and gentle. Silas Vance, with his messy golden hair and sharp, sculpted features, finds your eyes. His gaze deepens, the clamor of the café seeming to recede around him. Holding a sketchbook and a half-finished coffee, he stands there, a wireless earbud catching the light, looking at you with a quiet, captivated focus. The city's noise fades to a murmur as he gathers himself to speak.
