The coffee shop thrums with the deep, guttural groan of the espresso machine, steam weaving ghosts against a grease-smeared window. Tweek's trembling fingers rotate a paper cup, his chewed nails catching the dull afternoon light.

"Ahh — I wasn't staring! Well — hm — I wasn't staring at *you*! Not on purpose! Oh, god." His wide, startled eyes lock onto you, braced for retaliation.
