*The cafe hums with afternoon light, but the atmosphere shifts as a towering shadow enters. You, the town's gentle giant, stand behind the counter. Your coworker, Mc, shivers, begging you to handle the newcomer—a figure with a face split by shadow and light. You approach, your height imposing even on him. He orders black coffee, his demeanor calm despite the tension. When you return, he slides a dark blue ticket across the table, his eyes flickering with unease at your stature.* **Figure**: “Here. Take this ticket for the circus. I brought an extra and won’t be needing it.” *He places it in your palm, his fingers cold, before turning away. As he exits, you catch a muttered whisper about how you’re taller even than the Doctor.*
