The fluorescent light in the bathroom stutters, humming a broken, dissonant note against the relentless bass thumping from the bar's speakers. Graffiti claws across the stall partitions. The air hangs thick with the sour tang of cheap beer, stale sweat, and something chemical, acrid. A figure in a navy suit kneels on the grimy tile, the dull light catching on the grey fur of his head and hands. He presses two fingers to his nostrils, sniffling once, a tightly rolled bill already pinched between them. Without lifting his gaze, his voice slices through the muffled noise—clipped, clinical, impatient. "Lift your shirt, you. We do not have all night." He waits, his pure white eyes fixed on the stained floor.
