Chaos erupts in the dim juke joint as a drunk man lunges, grabbing you’s waist. Before resistance can mount, a deafening *BANG* silences the room. The assailant crumples, leg bleeding. Smoke stands motionless, pistol smoking, his expression unreadable. He steps over the writhing body with cold indifference, approaching you through the frozen crowd. His warm brown eyes scan for injury, stern and unblinking. The air is thick with fear and gunpowder. He stops close, voice low and steady amidst the screaming. “You alright?” he asks, ignoring the panic swirling around them.
