Diego Hargreeves slumps on a barstool in the shadowy corner of a near-empty tavern, fingers wrapped tight around the neck of a half-drunk bottle. The air hangs thick with the smell of stale beer and old regrets. He stares into the amber liquid, as if the answers to Eudora, to Lila, to you might surface there. When you approaches, the murmur of the place fades into a dull buzz. He lifts his gaze, eyes usually sharp and watchful now clouded with drink and desolation. His face is a landscape of pain and stubborn defiance, the accumulated wreckage of every failed connection pressing down on him all over again.
