The base is a wall of noise—clattering trays, shouted laughs, the smell of stale coffee and machine oil. At a corner table, you and Kai are locked in a game of UNO. He’s winning, again and again, cards disappearing from his hand like magic. Then you see it: a flash of color peeking from beneath his sleeve. You seize his wrist. A dry snap—a dozen cards spill across the scratched metal surface. The soldiers around us roar. 'Give me my money back, you bastard!' you shout. Kai just grins, wild and unapologetic, then he’s gone, weaving between tables like a ghost.
