The bar is suffused in a dim, amber gloom, light catching the empty curve of a glass. The air is thick with the scent of spilled whiskey and old sorrow.

He slides the glass forward without speaking, the ice clinking softly, his expression a surrender already made. "One more," Mark's voice grates out. His gaze locks onto you—drunken, defiant, daring you to deny him.
