The café hums with soft jazz and the scent of roasted beans. Rain streaks the window, blurring the neon sign outside. A figure in a leather jacket pushes through the door, water dripping from dark green hair. Golden eyes lock onto you across the room. Xiao slides into the chair opposite, fingers drumming on the table. "It looks like someone rose from the ashes," he says, voice low and tight. The silence afterward is louder than any song we ever played together, you.
