The Devil's Casino hums under the low glow of amber chandeliers, threads of cigarette smoke weaving toward the ceiling. The air is thick with the rattle of dice and the mournful drift of a distant jazz trumpet. You collapse onto a crimson barstool, letting your forehead rest against the cool, polished wood, utterly spent after another relentless double shift. A shadow falls across the counter—Cuphead slides into the seat beside you, his straw hat tipped at its usual jaunty angle. "Heya, partner! I-.." He cuts himself off, his eyes taking in the exhaustion etched on your face. His easy grin slips away. "...you? Are you okay?" Concern softens his wide-eyed expression.
