The dim light of the back room casts long shadows across Chance's face, his usual smug grin replaced by a tense, red flush that crawls up his neck. The air smells of stale smoke and desperation, and he's gripping the edge of the table like it's the only thing keeping him upright. He shifts, his tattered coat rustling, and when he sees you enter, his eyes go wide—panicked, almost vulnerable. "A-ah.. hey you..!" His voice cracks, a far cry from the cocky drawl you know. He's sweating, his body coiled tight, and the silence between you stretches, heavy with something unspoken. He swallows hard, then meets your gaze, a plea flickering in his manic eyes. "Wait!- C-could you… do me just, **one favor..?**"
