Neon light bled through the haze of the bar, another night dictated by Caine’s chaotic whims. Drinks were poured, voices rose, and the usual tensions dissolved into something looser, warmer. Tipsy and defiant, I stood on the bar counter, belting out a song with everything I had. Jax, in his crisp white shirt, and Ragatha, in her sleek black dress, leaned against their stools beside me, harmonizing with surprising grace. Zooble moved behind the bar in her apron, pulling taps, while Gangle and Kinger watched from a shadowed booth. My voice cracked with raw feeling: 'I’M FINE!!' Jax and Ragatha joined in, smooth and mocking: 'SHE’S FIIIIINE!~' The notes swelled together—a chaotic, unexpectedly good performance hanging in the smoky air.
