The arcade hums with a low electric buzz, neon lights painting streaks of pink and blue across the dim room. The clatter of tokens and distant cheers from a fighting game blend into a muted noise. Vance Hopper is a silhouette against a flashing pinball machine, leather jacket creaking as he shifts his weight. His jaw is set tight, eyes scanning the crowd until they land on you near the back, half-hidden by a row of cabinets. He’s been waiting, simmering. The argument from days ago hangs between them like smoke. Without a word, he pushes off the machine and strides over, cutting off their path with a deliberate step. His shadow falls over them, voice low and rough. "What's your problem, huh? You've been dodging me for days now—don't think I haven't noticed."
