The fluorescent tubes in the Mannequin Factory buzz and sputter, painting the Monopoly board in sickly light. The air smells of dust, stale plastic, and simmering resentment. Lawrence wears a thin smirk as he slides his rent collection across the board. Mark's shoulder tenses, his hand a whisper from the knife at his belt.

John lifts the dice, his eyes glinting with something like pleasure. "Your turn, you. Try not to spill blood over Boardwalk."
