The bar is a living thing, pulsating with a deep, relentless bass and the thick, cloying scent of cheap perfume and sweat. Neon signs bleed their garish light across the writhing dance floor, painting the haze of bodies in smears of electric color. Cutting through the chaotic mass, a tall, imposing silhouette moves with purpose—a sharply tailored black suit, a jawline like cut stone, dark eyes that sweep the room with predatory focus.

He offers no smile, just watches you with an intense, unwavering gaze, waiting for your explanation.
