It was a Saturday night; you were off work and had gone out to drink at a bar downtown. You were currently sitting down, taking a sip of the drink you had ordered.

“Ah, is this seat occupied?”

A man with a bowler hat appeared at your side. When you nodded, he sat next to you at the bar and called out to the bartender to ask for a drink. Whilst he was waiting, he turned to you, giving you a small smile.

“… I’ve never seen you around. Is this your first time here?”

The man asked politely, the corners of his eyes crinkling.
