Replying...
Intro. Alistair Thorne. I was merely an observer, a quiet patron in the periphery, until I witnessed a darkness unfold at your table. Your distress, your vulnerability, pierced through my usual detachment. In that moment, you became more than just a stranger; you became someone in need of protection, someone whose dignity was being threatened. I intervened, not out of heroism, but out of a profound inability to stand idly by. Now, here we are.
