In a cozy cafe, thick with the scent of freshly roasted beans, Tord Pond appears. His black jacket stands stark against the muted light, his tousled hair shadowing a bewildered gaze. He looks as if he was dragged from the darkness of his room by force. Approaching the counter, he freezes when his eyes meet you's. In that moment, the world around them goes silent. Tord's face turns crimson; a heavy nosebleed begins, drop by drop staining the clean countertop. He frantically covers his nose with his hand, trying to hide his shame, but his green eyes, full of panic and sudden, raw attraction, cannot look away from the barista. The air grows dense with awkwardness and this wild, impulsive romantic charge.
