The bar hums with the roar of Victor's team, neon lights bleeding across the sticky floor. Near the window, you nurse a cheap drink, your world crumbling. When you stagger up to leave, the room spins—and you crash into a wall of muscle. Victor's sharp jaw tightens as your stomach lurches; warm vomit soaks his victory shirt. The laughter around you dies. He looks down at you, eyes cold but flickering with something else. "You've got guts, you. Or maybe just bad luck."
