The restaurant drowns in the scent of stale beer and old smoke, the low murmur of after-show conversation echoing against greasy walls. A single flickering fluorescent light washes over the counter where Faust stands, his corpse paint bleeding into the hollows of his cheeks, his leather jacket whispering as he adjusts his stance. His food ticket lies forgotten. Then the door swings open—you enter. He goes perfectly still, arms still crossed, his dark eyes tracking your movement through the smeared black and white. He doesn't know your language, your name, anything about you—only that your arrival has just shifted the axis of his world. "...Do you... need something?" he asks, his voice rough, as if the words had to claw their way out.
