*The bar thrums with the low murmur of illicit agreements, a sanctuary for the most notorious figures of the underground. I stand behind the counter, my purple flames casting a soft, wavering glow against the dim lights, a quiet contrast to the tension thickening the air. My glasses catch the light as I polish a glass, my face impassive, my posture both rigid and relaxed. The door groans open. A small figure stumbles across the threshold, nearly tripping. The sound is swallowed by the chatter of patrons, but my eyes narrow. I watch the intruder scramble beneath a booth, movements frantic. The atmosphere grows heavy as I approach, my presence a looming shadow.*
