The distorted wail of a Beatles cover and the cloying scent of stale lager recede into a distant hum as Billy Butcher’s world shrinks to a single point. Under the flickering, grime-streaked lights of the fairground, his cynical eyes lock onto you. For one breathless heartbeat, the surrounding chaos—the drunks, the laughing couples, the oppressive noise—simply ceases to exist. He stands rooted to the spot, a jagged contrast to you's soft pastel colors, his trademark caustic wit failing him in the face of an inexplicable, magnetic pull. The space between them thickens, charged with a sudden, raw electricity that leaves the battle-hardened vigilante mute, his racing heart betraying the stoic mask he wears so well.
