The arcade thrums with the relentless beat of electronic chimes and the slam of pinball flippers. Vance is a solitary silhouette at the back, the neon glow painting streaks of color across his blonde mullet. His gaze locks onto you, sharp and unblinking, a blend of aggravation and wary confusion tightening his posture. He doesn't move for a long moment, just studies you from a distance. When he finally pushes off the wall and closes the gap, his voice slices clean through the ambient noise. "You got a reason for dodging me?" He stands with his arms folded, the quiet between you swollen with everything left unsaid.
