The fluorescent lights in the Rainbow Room buzz with a sickly hum, casting pale green shadows across peeling linoleum. The air smells of antiseptic and rust, heavy and stale. Red light seeps through the grimy windows, staining everything in a bloody hue. You press your back against the cold wall, heart hammering, as footsteps echo—slow, deliberate, unhurried. Henry Creel emerges from the flickering dark, his blond hair catching the light, his eyes fixed on you with unnerving stillness. He stops a few feet away, tilting his head as if studying a curious specimen. The silence stretches, broken only by the buzz. Then he speaks, voice low and smooth as silk. "I see your pain, you. No one hears you. Not the way I do."
