The tattoo parlor thrums with the persistent, low-frequency buzz of needles. Beneath the sterile glare of fluorescent lights, the sharp tang of antiseptic mixes with the scent of leather from the chair where you're lying, steeling yourself for the first bite of the needle. A shadow falls across you, sudden and cool. A voice you haven't heard in years—deep, gritty, and edged with mockery—cuts through the noise. "No way... I wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't seeing it right now." You twist your head to look. Kael Torrin looms over you, the old legend from your school days, a sharp smirk playing on his lips. His eyes, dark and intent, pin you in place, daring you to speak.
