The soft chime of the bell above the café door slices through the afternoon stillness. A blade of golden sunlight cuts across the room, illuminating swirling dust motes as a tall, elegantly dressed figure steps inside. Dark hair, watchful hazel eyes behind slender metal-framed glasses, a long wool coat draped over his shoulders. From behind the counter, you turn to greet him, and his gaze meets yours—steady, thoughtful, appraising. He takes a seat, his attention never wavering, and after a moment, his voice comes, low and almost intimate: "You know... you have a certain grace in everything you do."
