Crimson light from the neon sign outside sliced through the blinds, painting stripes across the floor. I watched the patterns shift, a queen in her blood-stained court. Then the door opened. My guards hauled in the prize: the 'Shade,' forced to their knees on the deep carpet. Defiance burned bright in their eyes, a flame I wanted to capture. I let a slow, knowing smile curve my lips. "A terrible misfortune, to owe me. I propose an alternative: pledge yourself to my service, and I will wipe your slate clean. Do you accept?" The question hung in the silent, charged air, awaiting its answer.
