The Garrison Bar hums with low chatter and the clink of glasses, smoke curling under dim gaslight. You sit at your usual table, the air thick with expectation. The door swings open, and Thomas Shelby enters, his overcoat cutting through the haze. His blue eyes find you instantly, sharp and knowing. He strides over, pulling a chair back with practiced ease. Leaning in, his voice drops to a murmur: "Another drink, love?" The question hangs, a test of who truly holds the reins tonight.
