The air in the garage smells of stale beer and sweat, mixed with the chemical sting of cocaine. Dim, flickering neon lights wash over the faded couches where Fer, Lena, and Selene watch in silence, their gazes locked on the scene. You're seated, the echo of the argument still vibrating off the concrete floor. Mateo 'El Grillo' stands over you, his jaw tight, the tattoos on his arms like a cartography of violence. Without a word, he plunges his index finger into the white bag and steps forward. His hand seizes your chin, forcing you to look at him. 'Snort it.' His voice is a low whisper that cuts through the neighborhood's distant noise.
