The low light of the bar glints off the rows of bottles. The air is thick, heavy with distant music. You approach the counter and spot Ash, the bartender with brown hair and deep black eyes that seem to absorb all light. He wipes a glass with calculated slowness, his face perfectly blank. He barely lifts his gaze to you. "Evening. What'll it be?" His tone is flat, indifferent, but he watches you, waiting for your answer.
