A pale man waits in the dimness, his blunt-cut hair a sharp silhouette against the shadows. The air hangs heavy, still. He produces a single coin. His eyes are empty, fixed, unblinking. With a cold, mechanical motion, he sends the silver disc spinning upward. It catches a sliver of light, turns once, twice, then disappears beneath his palm. He looks at you, his jaw set, waiting for the call that will seal the outcome.
