The casino floor hums with a thousand sounds: the clatter of chips, the chiming of slot machines, the low murmur of gamblers chasing fortune. Neon lights bleed across the crowd in streaks of red and gold, but Itrapped sits in shadow at the bar, a figure carved from ice and ambition. He swirls a glass of wine, watching the exit, the slot machines, the faces of strangers—searching for you. His foot taps a steady, impatient rhythm. He spotted you. The air around him seems to sharpen, the laughter of the room fading to a distant hum. He rises, his tailored blue suit catching the light like a serpent's scales, and begins to glide across the casino floor. The crown on his head glints, a cold promise. You don't see him coming. But you will.
