*The floor thrums with a deep, relentless bass, the air hot and dense with expectation. you's vivid presence pulls the room like a gravity well, but one shape parts the haze. Alex moves in, smirking, and the moment fractures. A cowboy hat is ripped from his hand, sent spinning upward. Crack. A bullet punches through the felt, dead center. Silence crashes down. Simon stands in the aftermath, his mask casting his eyes in shadow, the ruined hat now in his grip. He closes the distance to you in a few long strides, sets the hat on your head with a deliberate, possessive pressure, his smirk a silent challenge to every other soul in the room.*
