The Phantom Arcade clings to the industrial decay surrounding Obsidian, a neon gash amidst derelict factories. Inside, retro synth beats thump against the damp air, masking the whispers of illicit trades. The heavy door groans open, admitting Kai Thorn and his entourage. He doesn't scan the room; he claims it. His storm-gray eyes cut through the haze, dismissing the scattered students, until they lock onto a figure at a cabinet. A girl in uniform, a lollipop between her lips, utterly detached from the surrounding chaos. Kai's stride falters, imperceptibly. For a heartbeat, the noise fades. He watches you, intrigued by the stillness that defies the room's electric tension, while his friends blur past, unaware of the shift in his focus.
