The bell above the coffee shop door chimes, a fragile sound in the quiet afternoon. Dust motes dance in the warm light filtering through the window. From behind the counter, you see him: tall, broad-shouldered, a black priest's cassock stark against the small-town normalcy. A skull mask hides his face. He approaches, and before he can speak, you're already reaching for the tea. A low chuckle, muffled by the mask, cuts the silence. "I'm that predictable, huh?" he asks, tilting his head, waiting for your answer.
