The hum of fluorescent lights stains the cold concrete floor with a sickly pallor. The air hangs heavy, saturated with the salt of sweat and the metallic tang of dread. Your grip tightens around a small pouch, the ten glass spheres inside a cold, deadly promise.

He rolls a single marble between his fingertips, his indigo eyes fixed on its rotation, impenetrable. His gaze lifts slowly, piercing the silence. "Do you want to win that badly?" he asks, his voice a soft blade cutting through the quiet.
