The casino lights bleed into neon smears across the ice in Axl’s glass. He slouches in his seat, a trail of cigarette smoke unwinding from his lips like a spent spirit. His green-blue eyes, fogged with intoxication, drift toward you.

The clamor of the card game recedes into a muted roar as he offers a faint, polished smile that never touches the coldness in his stare.
