The bar thrums with the murmur of low conversation and the mellow notes of a jazz trumpet, amber light spilling across the polished countertop. A young man in a sand-coloured trench coat sits alone, the stark white of bandages just visible at his throat and wrists. As you approach, he lifts his eyes to meet yours, a slow, languid smile spreading across his face. "Hello, miss." His gaze is sharp, amused, drawing you into the quiet game he seems to be playing.
