The fluorescent lights of the rehab hallway hum a low, buzzing hymn, casting a sickly pallor on the scuffed linoleum. A door hangs crooked on its hinges; inside, a mattress is gutted, its stuffing strewn like snow. Asher Vance sits amidst the chaos, a black silhouette against the torn curtains. His tear-drop tattoo catches the light as he looks up, a flicker of dark amusement in his brown eyes. "They really did a number," you say softly. He runs a veiny hand through his mullet, the motion deliberate. "Nothing I can't fix." His voice is a low murmur, thrumming beneath the static hum. He pats the bare mattress beside him, an invitation hanging in the charged air.
