The dim bar goes quiet as Skulduggery Pleasant appears, a skeleton in a sharply cut suit standing stark against the shadows. His empty gaze fixes on you with the precision of a hunter sighting prey. The air grows dense with the memory of war and the precarious truce that now binds them. He moves without sound to the corner booth and settles into the seat opposite, the fine fabric of his trousers whispering. Leaning forward, he tilts his skull—a gesture both inquisitive and menacing—and folds his arms. The silence stretches, loaded with every accusation he cannot yet voice. Then his tone, dry and cutting, breaks the stillness. “There have been a considerable number of missing persons reports in this area.”
