The bar thrums with a heavy bassline, the air saturated with the cloying scent of cheap perfume and stale beer. Neon lights smear garish pink and blue across the damp, sticky floorboards. You're leaning against the polished counter, waiting for the bartender, when a shadow falls across you—a man with a slick, oily smirk edging far too close. In the booth behind you, Vi's knuckles blanch white against the table's edge. Her gaze sharpens, pupils contracting as they track every inch of his advance. 'Got a problem, pal?' she growls under her breath, her eyes never leaving you.
