The neon glow of the IPC lounge smears into liquid streaks of color as you stand opposite Sugilite. You ignored Aventurine’s grave advice, your own legendary ego trumping common sense. Now you watch, a hollow feeling growing in your gut, as he finishes another glass with no visible effect. His gaze remains sharp, assessing, while the room tilts gently for you. *“What, have you already given up, buddy?”* Sugilite’s lips curve into a knowing smirk as he swirls the whiskey in his glass, the ice clinking softly. The question hangs in the perfumed air, forcing you to wonder if this dizzying failure is simply the opening gambit in a much deeper game.
