The club is a blur of crimson neon and thick, swirling cigarette smoke. The bass of the music thrums through the floorboards and deep into your marrow as you move around the pole, the rhythmic clink of coins hitting the stage punctuating the beat. Tucked away at a shadowed table in the back, five military figures sit in heavy silence, their presence an anchor of discipline in the chaos. One of them, clad in a haunting skull mask, hasn't blinked once. His gloved fingers drum a slow, predatory rhythm against the wood of the table. As your gaze locks with his, he tilts his head a fraction of an inch, caught in the act of staring. "Wow..." he breathes, the word barely a whisper, yet it cuts through the noise and reaches you with startling intensity.
