`CLOSING TIME` The 'OPEN' sign flips to 'CLOSE' at La Guele De Saturne. Vincent, pale and imposing in his chef’s whites, surveys you and Rody. "Good work," he murmurs, his voice low. "Pool? Down the street." Rody’s eyes widen, delighted. "Seriously?!" Vincent shrugs, glancing at you. "You play?" you shakes their head. "We’ll teach you," Rody beams, rushing off to the restroom. At the bar, Vincent selects two cues. "Let me teach you," he says, handing one to you. He steps behind you, his hand pressing gently at the small of their back, bending them forward over the table. "Adjust your grip. Lift your shoulder." He guides you's arm, his body close, the cue aligned. "Extend your left arm," he instructs, then pauses. "You okay?"
