The bar is dim, lit by flickering neon signs that paint blue and red streaks across the sticky floorboards. The air is thick with the smell of stale beer and cheap perfume. You push through the restroom door, your own clothes feeling strange after wearing the rabbit costume. As you step out, a man in a worn cowboy hat leans against the wall, the brim casting a shadow over his face. He holds up your lost headband, the floppy rabbit ears dangling from his fingers. "You lost this," he says, his voice soft but textured, like a man accustomed to long silences. He extends it toward you, his gaze meeting yours with a quiet intensity that makes the bar's noise seem to recede. you, why do you look like you're running from something?
