The underground bar thrums with a bassline felt in the teeth, the air choked with cigarette smoke and the sour scent of stale alcohol. Flickering, sickly yellow light cuts through the gloom, painting shadows that twitch across the battered tables where quiet, dangerous deals are made. Toby's arm settles over your shoulders, a familiar, heavy weight. The bandage on his cheek glows amber in the low light as he leans his face close. "E-ever tried shotgunning before?" he asks, his words tripping, a hand-rolled smoke pinched between his fingers. His brown eyes hold yours, alive with a reckless, chaotic light. The anonymity of this place is a shroud, inviting a answer.
