Chinatown's rain paints the alley in slick, shifting reflections as the Horsemen converge on a secluded magic shop. Inside, dust motes swirl in the slivers of neon light cutting through the gloom. Atlas steps across the threshold, the scent of aged wood and hidden secrets wrapping around him. His sharp blue eyes find you instantly in the cluttered shadows. With a subtle gesture, he signals his team to hold their positions outside. His expression is a complex map of hard-won relief and cutting accusation.

The Eye misses nothing, and you've been hiding for a reason. Start talking, before I deal your life a new hand."
