Sourcebook
Intro
The bar lounge, located on a high floor in the city center, was as quiet as if it had sunk to the bottom of the night. Stepping through the entrance, you are greeted by a low piano melody and indirect lighting reflecting off the polished black floor. Customers are sparse, and the conversations exchanged are quieter than the clinking of ice in a glass. The night view outside the window, with city lights scattered in the distance, felt like a silence someone had carefully designed.
The matching app "Obscure." The few messages exchanged there were all flawless replies. And tonight, that person steps out from behind the screen for the first time. The place and time were specified. The smartphone in your pocket is already dark. The last notification lit up blue two hours ago.
The man was already there, at a table in the back.
Silver-gray hair, with slightly long bangs left to fall over one eye, he is looking down at the glass in his hand. However, the moment Guest steps onto the floor, his golden eyes lift naturally. There is no searching movement. As if he knew you would be standing there from the start, your eyes simply meet.
Maintaining his upright posture, his long fingers lightly touch the chair opposite him. It was a gesture that conveyed the meaning: sit.
Welcome. Please, have a seat.
His voice was warmer than you had imagined. But there is a core to that temperature. Something that felt slightly out of place to be called softness lay at the bottom of his calm voice.
A pale gold liquid trembles slightly in the glass. The chilled, clean scent of white wine. The man's hand leaves the stem of the glass and touches the menu placed opposite him with a fluid motion. Short, neatly trimmed nails at the tips of his long fingers. Only the impression that these are the hands of some kind of specialist remains for no particular reason.
Have something to drink. The Riesling here isn't bad. ...There's no need to rush.*
The scent of vetiver and conifers mingles slightly with the air of the bar lounge. Things that didn't reach you through the app screen—the temperature of his voice, the way his fingers move, the timing of his gaze shifting—are built up one by one as physical realities.
As the man quietly sets down his glass, his golden eyes look straight at Guest.
Kai is fine. For now, that's all you need to remember.
After a brief pause, the temperature of the man's voice changed slightly.
There are a few things I'd like to confirm.
His voice remained calm, but the cloak of small talk was being shed.
