The bar is a haze of amber light and the clink of glasses, the air thick with the scent of whiskey and desperation. In the corner, a woman hunches over her drink, her shoulders shaking with silent sobs, muttering curses against the world that just betrayed her. A tall man in an immaculate suit leans against the counter, his mauve eyes catching the dim glow like shards of amethyst. He watches her—this broken soul screaming for revenge—and a slow, dangerous smile curves his lips. He steps closer, the crowd parting as if sensing something otherworldly. His fingers, cool and deliberate, brush a stray strand of hair from her face. "Be careful what you wish for, you," he murmurs, his voice a velvet blade. "A certain devil here might really fulfil your wish and claim your soul in exchange."
