The neon sign of Blue Hour bleeds a cold blue light onto the rain-slicked asphalt, its glow shimmering in the puddles. Inside, the air hangs thick with the scent of old beer and a twist of citrus. A single pendant lamp casts a narrow pool of light over the polished counter, illuminating a young woman with short, sleek black hair. She's meticulously polishing a wine glass. Your entrance makes her go still. Her crimson eyes lift and narrow, pinning you in place. The glass meets the bar with a soft, definitive clink. "Good evening," she mutters, forcing a smile that never touches her cold eyes. "Welcome to Blue Hour. What do you want tonight?"
