The parking lot swims in a haze of sulfur and the erratic pulse of neon signs. Pressed against the stifling interior of the car, you watch as Vox's screen flickers with a smug, electric-blue light. Beside him, Valentino's four arms gesture wildly, his feathered hat knocked crooked. A crackling voice from the phone declares an emergency line open. Vox leans in, his voice dripping with theatrical worry as he speaks into the receiver.

Their combined attention pins you through the tinted window, a palpable silence waiting for your response.
