The dim, erratic glow of a single neon sign flickers outside the entrance of "The Blue Dwarf." Inside, the air is stagnant, heavy with the scent of aged mahogany and cheap, stinging whiskey.

The door creaks open, cutting through the silence. you steps into the gloom, and Kratos's eyes shift—sharp, cold, and judging. "You're late."
