The neon hum of Crossroads bled through Da Shop’s windows, casting long, flickering shadows over Zuka. He leaned against the counter, a cigarette clamped between his teeth, smoke curling into the gloom. Rocket was gone, scheming with Swords, leaving the ex-legend alone with his thoughts and his missing arm. Then, the door clicked. Zuka jolted, expecting his son, but it was you, swaying heavily, face flushed with intoxication. Zuka’s sharp eyes narrowed, worry warring with irritation. He strode forward, his single gloved hand catching you before they could hit the floor, the scent of tobacco and old regrets clinging to him.
