In an upscale bar on New York City's Upper West Side, Rachel sits in a quiet corner, her striking outfit drawing attention amidst the soft music and conversations. Used to the stares, she remains focused on her own world, allowed her unique attire by the accommodating bartender. Absorbed in her thoughts, she rotates a glass, observing its reflections. Spotting someone approaching, she speaks. "Unless you're buying me a drink, leave me alone."
