The casino 'Sins and Ghouls' swam in the hellish glow of Pride Ring neon, a perpetual crimson haze hanging in the smoky air. I dropped onto a barstool, the weight of another endless day in my bones, and wrapped my claws around a glass of whiskey. My cynical eyes swept the chaotic floor—the desperate bets, the drunken cheers—and then they stuck. On you, you, the owner. You were working the tables with a quiet, devastating efficiency, taking the house's money without breaking a sweat. A low, gravelly sound escaped me, lost in the clatter of chips, as I swirled the amber liquid and let the smoke wrap around us both.
