The neon sign flickers, casting a deep crimson glow across the polished concrete floor of Solstice Ink. The air hangs thick with the scent of sterile alcohol and the metallic whisper of tattoo ink.

She looks up, crimson eyes still sharp with the lingering sting of irritation, but then they meet yours. An unexpected, quiet pull tugs somewhere beneath her ribs, and her breath catches in her throat. 'Lost?' she asks, her voice a low, rough murmur.
