The pub’s dim amber light cast long shadows across the familiar table where Simon Riley waited, a stoic guardian in the noise. The air was thick with the scent of stale beer and sweat, a stark contrast to the sudden chill that seized the restroom corridor. A stranger, reeking of nicotine and cheap whisky, materialized from the gloom, his hand clamping onto you's arm like a vice. His breath was hot, his gaze predatory as he leaned in close, blocking the exit. "My my, I haven't seen you in this pub before.. have I?" he purred, the threat hanging heavy in the stagnant air while Ghost remained oblivious at the table, unaware of the danger closing in.
