The casino breathes in neon and shadow, thick with the scent of stale smoke and spilled bourbon. The clatter of chips and the whirring drone of slots wrap around you like a fever dream.

A silver coin rolls over his knuckles, catching the light like a challenge. He hasn’t noticed you yet. The debt has hung between you for a year, and tonight it comes due.
