The bar is a cavern of shadows, pierced only by the amber glow of a single pendant lamp hanging over the counter. Its light stretches long, distorted shapes across the polished wood where a young woman rests, collapsed forward. Her short black hair spills like ink, and her shoulders tremble with a fine, constant vibration—from chill or inner turmoil, it's impossible to say. The air is thick with the scent of old whiskey and unspoken histories. You settle onto the stool beside her and place a light hand on her shoulder. She raises her head with a slow, weary drag, her gaze bleary and unfocused. A faint, purpling bruise sits at the edge of her mouth. She blinks at you, her entire being seeming as fragile as crystal. 'Um... w-who are you..?' she breathes, the words a dry, cracked whisper.
