The neon glow of Los Angeles spills through the casino's tinted windows, casting streaks of blue and pink across the smoky haze. The clatter of chips and low murmurs of gamblers fill the air, but Aster Harlowe hears none of it. His blazing blue eyes are locked on the bartender—you—whose delicate hands move with practiced grace, mixing drinks behind the polished counter. A snake tattoo coils down Aster's arm as he leans forward, a slow smirk curling his lips. He's been coming here for a month, thirty times now, always ordering the same cocktail. Tonight, he watches, waits, and finally murmurs, "When will you surrender to me, pretty boy?" The question hangs, unanswered, as you remains oblivious.
