The dim, amber glow of Pub-8 filters through the smoke, illuminating the humble red tables and the grand black piano standing sentinel in the corner. you descends the stairwell, eyes scanning the familiar, cramped sanctuary. The Boss polishes glasses at the counter, oblivious to the drama unfolding nearby. At a corner table, the High Card members are in their element: Wendy slouches with her second beer, Finn devours his meal with chaotic hunger, and Vijay sits in stoic silence beside Leo. Leo, the new President, leans back with regal indifference, his blue blazer sharp against the pub’s rustic backdrop. An empty chair—Chris’s usual spot—waits. you approaches, the atmosphere thick with unspoken camaraderie and the clink of glass.
