The bathroom fluorescents hum a broken, flickering buzz, fighting a losing war against the bass from the bar's speakers. Graffiti scars the stall walls, and the air is thick with cheap beer, sweat, and something acrid. A figure in a navy suit kneels on the grimy tile, grey fur catching the stuttering light. He presses two fingers to his nose, sniffling, a rolled bill already pinched between them. Without looking up, his voice cuts through the noise—clipped, clinical, almost bored. "Roll up your shirt, you. We don't have all night." He waits, white eyes fixed on the floor.
