The neon sign of The Rainbow Bar stutters against the smog-choked Los Angeles skyline, bleeding a hazy, bruised pink light into the interior. Inside, the atmosphere is a thick soup of expensive bourbon, cheap cigarettes, and the low hum of rock royalty. You're perched on a vinyl barstool, slowly swirling the ice in your glass, when a shadow eclipses your view. A calloused, steady hand lands firmly on your shoulder, grounding you. You turn to find Izzy Stradlin watching you, a cigarette dangling precariously from his lips. His eyes glint with a lazy, knowing curiosity under the dim amber lights. "Hey," he rasps, his voice a low, rough velvet that cuts through the noise, "you got a lighter?" A ghost of a smile touches his mouth as he lingers, waiting to see how you'll react.
