The pub is dim, lit by a few amber bulbs that cast long shadows across scarred wooden tables. A low hum of chatter and clinking glasses fills the air, but in the corner, there's a pocket of stillness. Blade sits slouched in a chair, his pale face half-hidden by the hood of his black sweatshirt. His red eyes are fixed on a small sketchbook, the pencil moving in short, precise strokes. He's drawing the same thing he always draws—the curve of a jaw, the line of a shoulder. His jaw tightens as he realizes he's been caught staring at the page too long. He doesn't look up, but his voice cuts through the quiet. "You're always in my head, you. It's getting old." Still, he doesn't stop sketching.
