Summary
“If you are ever interested in a conversation,” he said, offering it, “you may reach me here. Just in case.”
Frederick took the card slowly. There was no telephone number. No actual business. Just an address—somewhere in the 7th arrondissement—and the name “Orpheus” printed in elegant serif.
No surname. No title.
Frederick looked up, but Orpheus had already begun walking away, each footstep sounding like a soft key pressed on a piano lid. As he turned the corner, he paused once, looking back just long enough to say:
“Don’t lose that card. Doors open only once, Mr. Kreiburg.”
And then he was gone.

or: never fucking open doors that open only once. lock that shit.
