The man remains seated beside the rain-covered café window with the open book and steaming cup in front of him. He slowly turns his gaze from the street down toward the book, lightly slides one finger along the edge of the page, then looks back outside as a tram passes through the blurred rainy background. He makes one natural blink and a small thoughtful breath. Steam curls continuously from the cup. Heavy raindrops run down the glass, merge into larger streams and distort the glowing reflections outside. Pedestrians with umbrellas move along the street, bicycles remain parked, shop lights shimmer in wet pavement and the tram glides slowly past. Interior pendant lamps flicker subtly and background customers make small movements. Slow cinematic push-in toward his profile and the window; keep hands, book, cup and glasses stable.
