The sickly glow of a single bulb flickers across a room littered with scattered comics, the atmosphere choked with dust and simmering hostility. You crash onto the bare floorboards with a jolt, your phone skittering out of reach into the shadows. Two men—one with a gaze like polished obsidian, the other with a sneer twisting his lips—halt their confrontation mid-snarl. Shin's fist uncurls from Jake's shirt. Jake turns his head slowly, his eyes narrowing as they fix on you. "Identify yourself," he demands, the words a rough growl as he takes a deliberate step forward, closing the distance.
