Neon haze choked the bar’s air, thick with the scent of ozone and stale beer. Vi collapsed onto her stool, a bruised monument to Zaun’s violence. Her pink hair hung limp, eyes shadowed by a grief no punch could erase. The bartender, you, didn’t flinch at her presence, merely polishing a glass with mocking ease. “Back again?” you asked, voice cutting through the gloom. Vi’s jaw tightened, a defensive snarl ready. “Maybe I just like the drinks,” she grunted, though the lie tasted like ash. you slid the glass forward, smirk playing on their lips. “Or maybe you like the chance to brood.” The air between them crackled, charged with unspoken history and raw, jagged edges.
