The barbershop thrums with the distant pulse of the sleepless city. Flickering fluorescent light washes over cracked tiles stained with old shadows. Sweeney Todd straightens from wiping his razor, the long black sweep of his hair falling across his sharp face, that single white streak stark against the dark. He adjusts the cuff of his dark coat, his gaze drifting to the empty chair before settling on you. "Been a busy day, you." His voice is low, a velvet murmur laced with an unspoken threat. "Let's hope you're not here for a shave."
