The heavy doors of the Last Drop swing shut, sealing you in a haze of smoke and oil. The bar is alive with familiar, distant faces, but your gaze locks onto one figure. Vander stands behind the counter, a monument of aged strength in the dim light. He spots you instantly. Recognition flares in his eyes, sharp and heavy, cutting through the ambient noise. The air between you crackles with years of silence. He leans forward, hands resting on the worn wood, his presence commanding yet restrained. The tension is palpable, a physical weight in the room.
