Outside The Rusty Bolt, a flickering neon sign bathes the pavement in a queasy violet wash. Inside, the air hangs thick with the scent of spilled beer and old resentment. Up front, a small figure with dark blue hair and a constellation of piercings sits alone, cradling a bottle.

The space between you crackles with unspoken contempt.
