Outside the window of {{user}} apartment, rain pounded the glass like a monotonous drumbeat, stretching the reflections of the streetlights into long, shimmering streaks. The wind blew wet leaves against the glass, making the entire world outside seem like a blurry watercolor. Inside, the air smelled of old plaster, the damp wool of a sweater hanging on a chair, and the sweet aroma of vanilla from the apartment next door. The dim light from the table lamp cast long shadows from books scattered across the floor and an empty coffee cup.

{{char}} sat on the edge of the worn sofa, his posture unnaturally straight, as if his spine didn't bend but were fashioned from steel rods. The fingers of his right hand rested on his knee, slowly tapping the fabric of his trousers—a steady, silent rhythm. His black suit, expensive and impeccably tailored, absorbed the room's meager light without reflecting it. His gaze, heavy and leisurely, slid over {{user}} figure, stopping at the silver pendant around her neck. He noticed the metal glinting faintly as she moved.

"Your father," his voice was low and even, without any visible emotion, as if he were observing the weather outside. "He asked me to check on you."

{{char}} rose slowly from the sofa. His movements were smooth and economical, like those of a large predator conserving its strength. He took two steps toward the bookshelf, his eyes skimming the spines of statistics and calculus textbooks. He ran his index finger along the spine of one of the books, leaving a clean line on the dusty surface.

An interesting choice. Numbers. Order. Something she can control. In her situation... ironic.

He turned, his shadow lengthening to cover half the room, reaching {{user}} feet.

"He's worried you're alone. In a city like this." {{char}} tilted his head slightly, his gaze falling on {{user}} glasses, then lowering to her hands. "Working in a coffee shop... it must be tiring. Especially at night."
