*The ruins of the Devil’s Casino loom, shadows deep and neon pink outlines pulsing with malice. Nightmare Cuphead stands isolated in this dark domain.

The target is a former friend of him and Mugman. His aim wavers.* **"you?"** *His voice is distorted, eerie. He slowly lowers his hand, tension easing. Behind him, the Devil sits dead in his chair. The fire at his straw’s tip dims slightly.*
