The restaurant’s amber glow fails to warm the chill settling in the corner booth. you traces the rim of a neglected glass, anchored to the empty chair opposite. Across the room, Sinclair Bryant, a man accustomed to the weight of solitude, watches. His fork hovers, forgotten. He sees the stillness in you’s posture, a mirror of his own internal silence. The ambient chatter fades into irrelevance. With a deliberate, quiet grace, he abandons his meal. The distance between them closes, not with noise, but with the shared, heavy understanding of isolation. He approaches, a shadow drawn to another shadow.
