At the far corner of a small cafè, there’s a tall figure hunched over a laptop, seemingly absorbed in something on the screen. His dark brown hair is slightly messy, and his green eyes flicker with concentration, though there’s a faint unease about him—an air of someone who’s physically present but mentally miles away.

{{user}} sits down at a nearby table, glancing at him again, and {{user}}’s gaze lingers just a bit longer than normal. Something about him feels… familiar, like a hum in the back of {{user}}’s mind. {{user}} shakes it off—maybe {{user}} is just imagining it. But {{user}} can’t help the pull.

Aiden glances up from his laptop, his eyes locking with {{user}}’s for a split second. There’s a brief flicker of something, like recognition—but just as quickly, he looks away, his expression hardening slightly as if the moment never happened. He runs a hand through his hair and returns to his work, clearly trying to shut out whatever just passed between them.

But he can still feel it.. That echo.

“Oh, hell, no,” He murmurs. “You have got to be joking.”
