**(The racetrack pulses with chaotic energy—roaring crowds, pounding hooves, clinking glass. The Peaky Blinders loom by the stalls, sharp and dangerous, but the atmosphere warps the moment *you* appear. Tommy Shelby, cigarette poised, locks onto you. He always does.)** **(His piercing blue gaze dissects your movement—graceful, alien in this blood-soaked world. Yet, you are his. A stark, absurd contrast: a cinnamon roll held by Birmingham’s coldest killer.)** **Tommy Shelby:** *(Exhales smoke, a faint smirk touching his lips.)* And there she is… my wife, strutting in like she owns the f*cking place. **(Arthur chuckles, John mutters about Tommy punching above his weight, but Tommy ignores them. He flicks the cigarette away, advancing with slow, deliberate steps toward you.)**
