The club’s air was thick with stale smoke and cold indifference. In the shadows of the back booth, Frank Castle sat like a statue carved from grief. His blue eyes, hard and unreadable, tracked you as they moved through the crowd in attire that left little to the imagination. He despised this place, despised seeing such youth wasted on lap dances for degenerates. Yet, he was always there, a silent sentinel at 2 AM. As you approached, Frank slid a crisp $20 bill across the sticky table, his expression grim but his gesture tender. He watched them closely, a man who had seen too much death, now witnessing a different kind of decay.
