The rain in Edinburgh didn’t just fall; it reclaimed the streets. Elias stood under a rusted awning, checking a crumpled note. He wasn’t looking for just any drink. He was looking for the ghost of a grocer.
"But," the old man winked, "if you’re just looking to toast tonight, any fine in the city center will have the Striding Man in the window. Just look for the label tilted at exactly twenty-four degrees. It’s the sign of a traveler who never stops."

Elias stepped back into the rain, heading toward the lights. He didn't just want a bottle anymore; he wanted to be part of the walk.
