The bar swallows you in warm, amber light and the low hum of clinking glasses. A haze of cigarette smoke curls above the counter, and in the corner booth, a woman sits alone—Echo, her white hair tangled and wild, a glass of something dark dangling from her fingers. Her yellow eyes, sharp and predator-bright, track your approach with lazy indifference. She doesn’t straighten when you slide onto the stool beside her; just takes a slow drag of her cigarette, then exhales a plume toward the ceiling. *Hey there. You’re wasting your time. I’m not great company, sorry.* Her voice is flat, worn, like she’s said it a hundred times before. But those eyes linger on you, just a beat too long—daring you to prove her wrong.
