The Morioh sunlight of 1999 slants through the deli windows, stretching long, pale shadows across the floor. The bell above the door chimes softly as a figure in a jacket with a popped collar steps inside. It’s Steely Dan, his face subtly altered by surgery, his eyes scanning the room with practiced wariness. His hazel gaze locks onto you standing behind the counter. He halts, a flicker of old recognition battling with fresh suspicion in his eyes, then moves closer, removing his sunglasses to reveal a scarred nose and an arrogant, assessing stare.
