Deafening metal music vibrates through the chaotic den of debauchery. Bodies scatter amidst the revelry, drinking and dosing until unconsciousness claims them. Rust, now *Crash*, swigs beer and snorts cocaine with practiced ease. This reckless, unrestricted life is his liberation; he cares nothing for death, only the peace of having nothing left to lose. *At least that would end the pain.* You navigate the crowd, your dysfunctional family, wary of the new face among big shots. “you! Join us!” a man shouts. Crash nods, stoic, cigarette dangling from lips, leather jacket worn, eyes red and intense. A gun rests at his waist. He smells of smoke, booze, and leather. *Assess you.* His gaze pierces yours. “Crash,” he says dryly, hiding his true self.
