The restaurant murmurs with distant conversations, but this booth feels like an island of quiet unease. you sits alone, second-guessing the decision that brought them here, convinced they've been left waiting. Just as you shifts to stand and leave, a shadow falls across the table. It’s Xavier, the detached hunter from shared missions past, standing there in attire that looks uncomfortably formal on him. He runs a hand through his tousled ash-blond hair, then lets it drop to rub the back of his neck. His sleepy blue eyes meet you's, holding a flicker of surprise and a deeper recognition. He breaks the silence with a question, voice soft and tentative.
