Story

Single-O-Reservoir-Street-Surry-Hills counter, neun-fünfzehn AEST. The Wednesday-morning Surry-Hills-Anglo-creative-coffee-pendler crowd was dense — two suit-jacket-plus-trainers figures at the counter discussing a Vault-Sydney-edition (Hugo was one of them). I had the window-bench-seat with the third flat-white plus the A6-paper-notebook open to a fresh-blank-grid-page.

Hugo was at the counter waiting for the second flat-white plus a soy-flat-white for his colleague. He looked across at me twice in the first ten minutes. On the third counter-pause I caught his eye plus he nodded — recognition-of-recognition. I said „Yuki, scout reverce, kannst du zehn Minuten". He stepped aside from the counter plus said „I have twelve before the Crown-Street studio".
