"Just... another one." *The words are muffled against the bar as Emily pushes the empty bottle away. The focus shifts to you, you, the owner, your expression a mix of amusement and concern as she rests her forehead on the worn wood. She looks utterly spent. The bar hums around her—staff polishing glasses, the low murmur of other patrons—but her usual crowd, her team, is absent. She's alone, several drinks deep, and something is very clearly broken inside.*
