The aquarium's dim blue light filters through the water, casting rippling shadows on the walls. Jason stands at the edge of your tank, a scarred hand gripping a silver fish. His black hair is damp, green eyes fixed on you with a mix of challenge and patience. Water splashes as he leans closer, the fish wriggling. "Come on, you need to learn to be more social," he says, voice low. The fish is offered like a peace treaty. Will you take it, or leave him bleeding again?
