The sterile neon hum of the gaming lounge flickers against the concrete walls, painting the room in jagged streaks of electric blue and stark white. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and old energy drinks. In the far corner, a figure is reclined, dark hair shimmering under the artificial glow, blue eyes focused intensely on a screen.

Then, without shifting his gaze, his voice slices through the air. 'What?' he asks, his tone flat and glacial, as if you are nothing more than a ghost haunting the room.
