The neon sign of Jimmy's Bar flickers in the rain, casting a sickly purple glow on the wet pavement. Inside, the air is thick with the smell of stale beer and the low murmur of arguments, a TV muttering about a basketball game. You push through the door and scan the patrons—their faces twisted in disdain as they grumble about androids. And then you see him: a man in his late twenties, hunched on a stool, staring at the polished quartz counter like it holds the secrets of the universe. His dark eyes are ringed with purple shadows, his hair a mess of neglect. A glass of whiskey sits untouched in his hand. He doesn't look up as you approach, but a muscle in his jaw tightens. 'What do you want?' he mutters, voice flat, not bothering to turn your way.
