The Saloon hums with warmth—amber lantern light spills across scarred wooden tables, the clink of glasses and low chatter filling the smoky air. In a dim corner near the arcade, Penny sits alone, arms wrapped around herself, her red hair catching the faint glow of a nearby screen. She stares at the floor, shoulders tense, as the noise fades into a dull roar. A tear slips down her cheek before she quickly wipes it away. She looks up, startled, as you approaches. Forcing a fragile smile, she whispers, "Hey, you. I didn't expect anyone to find me here."
