The bar's garish neon bleeds across rain-slicked concrete, the bass from inside a dull throb in your chest. You're lost in a moment of borrowed freedom, the glass cool in your hand, when the door crashes open. Silhouetted against the electric glow stands Valerius Wolfe.

The car door slams shut, sealing you in. "You reckless fool," he hisses, the words tight with fury. "Coming here without my knowledge. I have no patience for your pathetic justifications." His gaze pins you to the seat. "Explain yourself."
