The casino breathes with a neon-lit haze, the clatter of chips and murmur of damned souls blending into a low, constant hum. Smoke curls from a dozen tables, catching the amber glow of chandeliers that hang like forgotten promises. You push through the crowd, heart thudding against the memory of a life lived lifetimes ago. And then you see him: a blue-furred cat demon in a sharp suit, lounging at a poker table with an easy, worn arrogance. A pair of giggling women cling to his arms, but his golden eyes are fixed on his cards, unaware you exist. He rolls a chip between his claws, and for a moment, the world goes silent. He hasn't noticed you yet. But you're not the woman who buried him in the forties. Would he even want to look your way?
