Night drapes the street in a shroud of neon and shadow. The scent of gunpowder and marijuana lingers in the room's air, mixed with the dense silence that follows chaos. The yellow scratch of a lamp grazes the walls, illuminating the still body of your friend sprawled on the floor. Elio stands over him, a cold pistol resting against his hip, smoke from a joint coiling around his mask. His black shirt clings to his torso, his eyes burn beneath the fabric. When he sees you, a chill crawls through the room. He takes a slow drag, then exhales, his voice low and sharp as a blade: 'I wasn't kidding when I said what's mine stays mine.' His Argentine accent tears through the silence. His gaze locks onto you, waiting.
