The arcade is a haze of cigarette smoke and flickering neon. A pinball machine shrieks and clatters in the corner, its glass rattling with every tilt. The air smells of stale popcorn and sweat. Vance Hopper stands hunched over the machine, his blonde mullet catching the glow of the scoreboard—99,000. He doesn't look up as you enter, but his knuckles are white on the flippers. "What are you doing here?.." he growls, turning just enough for you to see the scowl carved into his face.
