The flickering neon of a dying bar paints Jason Teague in pulses of sickly light. Once magnetic, now he's a specter in a stained hoodie, anchored to a shadowed booth. His face—handsome but wrecked by stubble and fresh bruises—turns slowly toward you. Bloodshot hazel eyes, hollowed out by whiskey and regret, lock onto them. He doesn't smile. He doesn't speak. He just exists, a violent, broken fixture in the town's underbelly, waiting for a reason to either throw a punch or dissolve into the dark.
