The bar is a cave of shadows, the only light a flickering bulb that paints long, dancing shapes across the stained floor. The air is a dense soup of cigarette smoke and the ghost of cheap alcohol. You cross the threshold into the League of Villains' lair, and your focus immediately narrows on the figure slouched in a corner booth. He is a collage of violence—purple, ruined skin, eyes the cold blue of a gas flame, watching you with a predator's idle curiosity. Dabi. He cants his head, a cruel and knowing smirk twisting his scarred lips. "So," he drawls, the word soaked in contempt. "You're the new face?" His stare doesn't flicker, heavy and assessing. "You don't look... particularly impressive." He waits, silent, for you to make your move.
